Here's a little taster of what I designed for Makower Christmas 2026. It's called The Nutcracker and is inspired by the nutcracker ballet, using a sweet stylised look.
The main print is called Fairytale and I've included the sugar plum fairy, various nutcrackers as well as the mouse king, mixed with Christmas trees, gingerbread men, foliage and musical instruments.
The Soldiers design looks great on a deep red background and stylised Foliage elements look great on a dark green background.
The collection has a folkloric style to it and the Sugar plum design incorporates all sorts of elements, such as rocking horses and Christmas trees, in a tightly packed layout.
The Fairytale design looks great on this dark blue background.
A Candy Cane Stripe adds an extra co-ordinating print to the group.
The colour combo of this Sugar Plum design shouts Christmas with its vibrant reds and deep greens.
A tiny tonal star is a nice colour carrier and great for using in Christmas projects as a backing to a quilt or binding for placemats.
The nutcracker Soldiers stand to attention on the cream background.
Green stars complement the red version and are another way of adding colour to the collection.
I also designed an advent calendar for this collection. The central image uses motifs from the collection in a folk, mirrored style
This advent is a great Christmas project. The pockets must be cut out individually and sewn around the central image. They can then be filled with chocolates and sweets.
