Sunshine Story – Summer has a pattern

Imagine waking up with sun tickles on your nose, sipping an ice-cold smoothie, and then hopping to your sewing machine with your new favorite project – that exact feeling of life is captured in Sunshine Story by Cotton+Steel. This collection is like a vacation on fabric: with mild pool moments, refreshing juice boxes, and palm panoramas straight from your daydream. Colorful, playful, and full of summery lightness – for everyone who carries sunshine in their heart (and in their sewing box) all year round.

☀️ Drift Away - Crystal Clear

Everyone into the cool water! This print from the Sunshine Story collection is the epitome of a relaxed summer day: cheerful bathing nymphs floating on air mattresses, chatting in the pool, or simply enjoying the sun – this time against a softly light blue background that looks like freshly painted pool water. The colorful figures in pink, navy, and skin tones bring movement to the motif and make the fabric come alive like a summer day at the outdoor pool. The print feels especially airy and friendly – ideal for creative projects with a summer statement!
