Cotton Poplin Digital Print - Honey Bees

Cotton Poplin Digital Print - Honey Bees

This poplin is covered in little clusters of busy honey bees, each one painted in warm honey tones with delicate transparent wings, scattered across a crisp white ground alongside tiny sprigs of wildflowers in soft cream and sage green. The print has a gentle, hand illustrated feel rather than a bold cartoon look, with the bees grouped in twos and threes as if caught mid flight over a summer meadow. It reads as cheerful without being overly sweet, which makes it just as suited to a nursery as to a sunny spring wardrobe piece. The white background keeps the print light and airy, letting the honey and sage tones do the talking.

What kind of fabric is this

This is a combed cotton poplin, woven in a plain weave that gives it a smooth, matte surface and a soft hand feel. The fabric has a natural fibre base with a soft finish, so it feels gentle against the skin, which matters a lot when you are sewing for babies or young children. It drapes with a medium fall, light enough to gather or pleat but with enough body to hold its shape in a bodice or a fitted skirt. Breathability is high, which is exactly what you want from a cotton poplin printed fabric meant for warmer days or layered baby clothing.

The scale of the print and the softness of the cotton make this fabric flexible across a number of sewing projects, from clothing to home textiles.
