Sunshine Story – Summer has a pattern

Imagine waking up with sun tickles on your nose, sipping an ice-cold smoothie, and then hopping to the sewing machine with your new favorite project – exactly this 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 sewing box) all year round.

Drift Away - In the Tropics

Fancy a fresh breeze? This mint green version of Pool Party is like a cool jump into the water. The same playful motif – relaxed sunbathers and chill pool atmosphere – comes here in a somewhat softer, soothing color scheme. Ideal for airy-light summer clothing or accessories that extend the holiday feeling.
