Padua – Viscose-linen fabric

Padua is a beautiful viscose-linen fabric with a natural linen look and a modern leaf design. The combination of the lightly textured linen look in the background and the fine black outlines of the leaves creates a particularly contemporary yet pleasantly timeless appearance. The quality is wonderfully lightweight and therefore an ideal fabric for summer garments. The linen content gives the fabric its natural, slightly textured look, while the viscose ensures a soft hand feel and a beautiful drape. Padua feels pleasantly light to wear and is perfect for airy clothing.

The fabric is very versatile and is particularly well suited to trousers, scarves as well as loose blouses, tunics or lightweight tops. It is also a beautiful choice for summer dresses or skirts.

With its modern yet timeless design and its pleasantly lightweight quality, Padua is a versatile fabric for the warm season.

Wanja – Favourite fabric in exclusive new colours

It all began in Cologne – and this is exactly where the success story continues. Wanja has now become one of those fabrics that simply cannot be missing at h+h cologne. Four years ago, this popular corduroy velvet was first presented alongside the well-known Swafing sofa, and since then Wanja has become a true favourite fabric for many customers.

 

       

The coarsely ribbed corduroy velvet impresses with its velvety-soft surface, its distinctive texture and a beautiful, slightly iridescent look. The wide rib creates a striking visual effect and gives the fabric a very special character. At the same time, Wanja is pleasantly tactile, dimensionally stable and extremely durable. Thanks to its high abrasion resistance and high Martindale value, the fabric is ideal for many different applications.

 

Wanja is also a real eye-catcher in clothing. The particularly wide rib creates a striking corduroy texture – in fact, calling it “wide cord” is almost an understatement. Wanja features a plush rib with a generous width of around one centimetre, making it perfect for real statement pieces. Trendy corduroy jackets, trousers or skirts look particularly modern and expressive with this texture. The structured corduroy velvet has a beautiful body, feels very comfortable to wear and is easy to work with thanks to its slightly iridescent velour surface.

 

 

Wanja is especially popular for home decoration and furniture projects. Cushions, pouffes, floor cushions or decorative home accessories can be beautifully created from this robust corduroy velvet. Thanks to its high durability, the fabric is even suitable for upholstery projects such as sofas, armchairs or chairs. The quality is also ideal for dog baskets, dog beds or other heavily used projects.

 

 

Wanja also shines in the world of bags. Shoppers, handbags, crossbody bags, backpacks or cosmetic pouches gain a particularly high-quality and modern look thanks to the distinctive ribbed texture. The fabric combines beautifully with webbing, zips and faux leather and is perfect for creative bag projects.

 

 

Thanks to its soft surface, Wanja is also very pleasant for home décor and children’s rooms. Play cushions, floor cushions or cosy snuggle elements quickly become real favourite pieces.

 

At h+h cologne, Wanja is now returning in many new exclusive colours. Alongside the popular basic shades that are available all year round, these exclusive new tones expand the collection and bring fresh, modern accents to the range. The wide variety of colours makes it especially easy to realise creative projects and experiment with different colour combinations. Exclusive at h+h cologne!

 

 

Wanja is therefore a fabric that truly inspires creativity and is suitable for an enormous range of projects. From home accessories and bags to decorative furniture projects, this special corduroy velvet continues to inspire new ideas and favourite pieces.

Wanja 082756 Corduroy velvet made from 100% polyester, 140 cm, approx. 380 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Martindale > 90,000. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: April–June/July.

 


 



The Swafing sofa will be back again this year! This time we dared something a little different and upholstered the sofa in a bold, vibrant pink. At h+h cologne you can take a seat on the sofa, take photos and participate in the #swafingsofa giveaway. With a bit of luck, you could win the original Swafing sofa in exactly this colour. More information about the giveaway will be available at the stand.

Emmeline – Spring-inspired tapestry with delicate floral design

Emmeline is a decorative tapestry fabric with a beautiful spring and summer design. On the light background, a delicate floral pattern unfolds with fine blossoms, slender stems and leaves. The small floral motifs in soft shades of blue, rose and green appear light and lively and evoke the feeling of a summer meadow in bloom. The characteristic tapestry texture gives the design additional depth and a refined textile look.

Tapestry fabrics are robust and dimensionally stable qualities with a beautiful structure and are particularly well suited for decorative projects and durable accessories. Emmeline is ideal for bags, shoppers, backpacks or cosmetic pouches and becomes a real eye-catcher thanks to the detailed pattern. The fabric is also perfect for home decoration such as cushions, table runners, seat cushions or decorative home accessories. Tapestry is also a wonderful choice for creative sewing projects such as patchwork, wall hangings or sturdy baskets and storage solutions.

Our corduroy velvet Wanja 082158 from the standard range pairs perfectly with Emmeline. The rich, saturated solid colours create a wonderful contrast to the floral tapestry pattern. Particularly harmonious combinations can be achieved with shades such as dusty rose, khaki and smoky blue. The distinctive ribbed texture of Wanja creates exciting material contrasts that are ideal for bags, cushions or other combined sewing projects.

Coated cotton – Alsfeld coated

Alsfeld coated is a tried-and-tested quality for many creative and practical sewing projects. The decorative fabric features a special coating that creates a particularly easy-care surface which can simply be wiped clean if needed. This makes Alsfeld coated ideal for projects that are frequently used in everyday life while still looking beautiful.

 

     

 

The new designs offer a varied selection of modern and decorative patterns. From colourful leaves and small dots to graphic checks, mosaic patterns and geometric designs, there is something for many tastes.

 

 

The floral designs featuring leaves and ginkgo leaves on a natural-coloured background look particularly harmonious in fresh shades of green, sage and beige. Some variants feature brighter summer colours and therefore add fresh and lively accents.

 

The coated surface makes Alsfeld coated especially versatile. Classic uses include tablecloths, table runners or placemats for the kitchen, balcony or terrace. The fabric is also excellent for aprons, organisers, baskets or storage solutions in the home. Thanks to the practical coating, Alsfeld coated is also very suitable for bags, cosmetic pouches, changing mats, gym bags or beach bags, as small spills can easily be wiped away.

 

 

The designs can be combined beautifully with one another. For example, the colourful leaf designs pair particularly well with the matching polka-dot patterns. Combinations with other materials such as faux leather or canvas also create modern and durable bag projects. Whether for practical everyday helpers in the kitchen and household or creative accessories for on the go, Alsfeld coated is an extremely versatile material.

Alsfeld coated 082767 Decorative fabric / coated cotton made from 70% cotton, 30% polyester, 140 cm, approx. 210 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Made in Europe.

New at Swafing: Sarah Mariam

At h+h cologne we are delighted to introduce a new designer: Sarah Giama and her label Sarah Mariam, already well known in the sewing community for her popular bag patterns and her inspiring Instagram channel. With her collection Flowing Bloom, she is now bringing her own fabric designs to Swafing for the first time.

About the designer

Sarah Giama has been working full-time as a flight attendant for over 25 years. Sewing originally started as a hobby for her, but over time it developed into a great passion – especially sewing bags. On Instagram she was frequently asked which patterns or fabrics she used for her bags. Often she had to reply that exactly those designs or patterns simply did not yet exist.

So she began teaching herself everything and started developing her own bag patterns. Her goal was to sew bags that perfectly matched her own style – and to use fabrics that did not yet exist in this form. Today she inspires many sewing enthusiasts with her carefully constructed bag patterns and shares her projects and videos on social media.

For her own bags she repeatedly had fabrics printed with her personal favourite designs. These designs caught our attention – and we are absolutely delighted to now be able to offer them as a fabric collection at Swafing.

 

 

Flowing Bloom by Sarah Mariam

The Flowing Bloom collection combines two very different design worlds that complement each other beautifully. On the one hand there are flowing, abstract motifs with liquid art elements, and on the other hand detailed floral designs. Both styles intertwine to create a collection that is modern, expressive and at the same time wonderfully versatile to combine.

 

 

The liquid designs evoke the look of flowing colours, gemstones or polished minerals. Colour gradients in petrol, blue, apricot, rose or cream appear like melted pigments flowing gently across the fabric.

 

 

In some variants, golden accents create a particularly elegant effect.

 

 

Some designs resemble crystalline structures or marble textures, while others display soft, organic colour gradients. The result is a modern, almost luxurious look that works particularly well on bags and accessories.

 

     

 

The second design world features floral motifs created with great attention to detail. Delicate blossoms in rose, apricot or lilac meet backgrounds in light blue, dark blue, petrol or cream. Some variants appear light and airy with fine blossoms and leaves, while others show more abundant floral arrangements with different leaf shapes and berries.

 

 

Particularly beautiful are combinations of apricot-coloured flowers on dark backgrounds such as navy or petrol, as well as harmonious variants with sage, cream and green tones.

   

Each design is expressive on its own but can also be combined beautifully with the others. The collection offers both calm colour palettes and stronger colour statements, opening up many creative possibilities.

 

The designs are printed on a robust Oxford quality, which is particularly suitable for bag projects. Backpacks, shoppers, crossbody bags, weekenders or cosmetic pouches gain a very distinctive look through these designs. Smaller accessories such as cases, organisers or toiletry bags can also be sewn beautifully from this fabric. Thanks to its water-repellent and durable surface, the quality is also ideal for outdoor projects. Dog bags, diaper bags or practical everyday companions benefit from the fabric’s robust characteristics. The fabric is also often used for clothing such as lightweight jackets, coats or functional vests.

 

 

Flowing Bloom looks especially beautiful when combined with other materials. Combinations with canvas, webbing or faux leather add additional structure to bag projects and highlight the expressive designs.

Flowing Bloom therefore combines playful creativity with a quality that truly performs in everyday life and inspires many new bags and accessories.

Flowing Bloom by Sarah Mariam 082778 Oxford fabric made from 100% polyester, 155 cm, approx. 210 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Martindale > 60,000. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: May.

 


 

 

Canvas Wilma

Wilma is a decorative cotton canvas featuring modern nature motifs and graphic designs. The collection includes a variety of patterns ranging from geometric shapes and floral motifs to fruity illustrations. Particularly beautiful is a coordinated trio consisting of a large floral motif, a matching stripe and a smaller pattern. These designs work wonderfully both together and individually.

 

  

 

 

The different designs are harmoniously coordinated in colour and combine beautifully with one another. Natural tones, shades of green and fresh accents interact to create many possibilities for creative projects. The fabrics also look particularly harmonious when combined with Swafing basics such as Rom, Calvin or Wanja.

 

 

The sturdy canvas is perfect for bags, backpacks, organisers or shopping bags. Wilma is also a lovely choice for decorative home projects such as cushions or storage baskets.

 

 

Wilma 082757 Decorative fabric / canvas made from 100% cotton, 140 cm, approx. 200 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Made in Europe. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: May.

 


 

 

Beach Canvas & Beach Jersey by Christiane Zielinski

With the Beach collection by Christiane Zielinski, true summer feeling arrives. The lovingly illustrated motifs created with watercolours capture scenes from the world of the sea, the beach and favourite summer moments. The designs are available in two qualities: as a decorative canvas with a linen look and as a soft cotton jersey for summer clothing.

 

 

 

Beach Canvas

The charming watercolour illustrations by Christiane Zielinski depict many small scenes from the world of summer and the sea. Cute clownfish swim among aquatic plants and meet gentle sea turtles, while seagulls circle around a lighthouse and evoke memories of a walk along the beach.

 

 

Of course, small summer treats are also included. Ice pops, burgers and fries add a playful touch and bring a cheerful spirit to the collection. The motifs are complemented by colourful beach accessories such as sun hats, surfboards, deck chairs and flip-flops.

 

  

 

The designs are printed on a decorative canvas with a linen look that is perfect for many creative projects. The motifs work especially well on bags and beach bags, but the fabric is also ideal for backpacks, organisers or summer home décor. Combinations with Swafing basics such as Rita are particularly harmonious, as they match the colours of the designs beautifully.

 

 

A cheerful summer collection that brings the feeling of sunshine, beach and holidays to fabric.

Beach by Christiane Zielinski 082791 Decorative fabric / canvas with a linen look made from 90% cotton, 10% polyester, 140 cm, approx. 200 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Made in Europe. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: May.

 

 

 

Beach Jersey

The Beach motifs by Christiane Zielinski bring a light summer feeling to cotton jersey and are perfect for shirts, dresses and many other sewing projects, especially for children’s clothing and relaxed summer outfits.

 

 

The designs feature many typical scenes from the world of summer and the sea. Dolphins jump playfully out of the waves, sharks glide calmly through the water and small crabs and shells create little maritime adventures. Clownfish and turtles invite you to an imaginative underwater journey. The motifs are complemented by ice cream, burgers and fries as well as a collection of classic beach accessories that immediately create a holiday atmosphere.

 

 

The jersey is ideal for T-shirts, dresses, shorts or summer sets for children. Small accessories or comfortable leisurewear can also be sewn from it. The cheerful motifs work beautifully on both light and coloured backgrounds and bring movement and joy to every project.

 

Perfect for summer clothing that instantly lifts the mood with fresh colours and maritime motifs.

Modal French Terry Kanani by käselotti

With Kanani, Käselotti presents an expressive modal French terry that immediately catches the eye with its large-scale, colourful design. The motif is built around a lively composition of vibrant colour fields, floral elements and a striking elephant motif that can appear in very different ways depending on the cut and placement. The bold colours feel both modern and playful and create a truly impressive visual impact.

 

Thanks to the large scale of the design, new looks emerge again and again during cutting. The elephant head, for example, can be placed on the back of a hoodie or sweater, appear as a striking front motif or become a special detail inside a kangaroo pocket. Individual parts of the design can also be used selectively, giving every sewing project its own unique look.

 

Combinations with solid fabrics are particularly exciting – for example with black jersey or sweat. When Kanani is used deliberately in the sleeves, strong contrasts and real eye-catching pieces are created. The design also works beautifully as a back panel on a varsity jacket or combined with simple front pieces.

 

 

The high-quality modal French terry feels pleasantly soft on the skin and offers an especially fluid hand thanks to the modal content. The fabric is perfect for hoodies, sweaters, dresses, comfortable sets or casual varsity jackets. With its expressive design, every garment becomes a unique statement piece.

Kanani invites you to play with placement, colours and pattern pieces and to create new creative looks again and again.

Kanani by Käselotti 082814 Modal French terry made from 60% cotton, 35% modal, 5% elastane, 150 cm, approx. 265 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: May.


 

 

Monsta Collection by Thorsten Berger

With the MONSTA Collection, Thorsten Berger brings three monstrously creative ideas to fabric: a French terry featuring expressive monster panels with matching yardage as well as two lovingly designed DIY panels for Monsta Bags and Monsta Pillows. All three articles explore the same playful monster world and can be combined beautifully – perfect for creative projects, gift ideas and real favourite pieces.

 

 

French Terry Monsta

A cuddly MONSTA quartet creates plenty of monster character on this French terry. The four monster heads are large, expressive and full of personality – each with its own colour palette, its own fur structure and a unique facial expression. The bold colours and large-scale panel design make every piece an instant eye-catcher. In total, four different panels are available.

 

 

 

The panel design is perfect for hoodies, sweaters or cosy homewear. The large monster head can be positioned differently depending on the pattern piece – for example as a front motif, on the back or as a special detail on a children’s hoodie. This allows new looks with completely different effects to emerge again and again.

 

  

 

Matching all-over designs are available alongside the panels so that complete outfits, sibling looks or creative combinations can be created. The all-over designs come in trendy animal prints – zebra, leopard or snake – which also appear in the background of the panels. They work perfectly as combination fabrics for sleeves, hoods or the backs of hoodies and sweatshirts, but also stand beautifully on their own without monsters as stylish fabrics for modern hoodies, trousers or casual sets.

A special detail is the cut & sew edge along the fabric edge: small Monsta horns

 

 

or scales run along the edge of the fabric and can be used deliberately when sewing – for example as an appliqué detail on hoods, hems or pockets. This characteristic element appears not only on the panels but also on the all-over fabrics and adds additional three-dimensional accents.

 

 

The soft French terry is perfect for hoodies, sweatshirts, dresses or cosy loungewear. The cheerful monsters are particularly charming in children’s clothing and make every sewing project a real favourite piece.

The panels are approx. 85 cm high and suitable for children, teens and adults.

Monsta by Thorsten Berger 082866 French terry made from 95% cotton, 5% elastane, 150 cm, approx. 245 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Panel approx. 85 cm. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 29 March. Delivery date: May.

 

 

 

MONSTA DIY Panels

In addition to the French terry, the MONSTA Collection also includes two creative DIY panels: MONSTA Bags and MONSTA Pillows. The lovingly designed panels already contain all the important elements for the projects directly on the fabric. The pattern pieces are simply cut out and sewn together step by step – allowing unique Monsta buddies with their own personalities to emerge in no time.

 

 

   

 

Many small details ensure that the monsters appear especially lively and three-dimensional. The panels invite you to bring the playful monster world to life yourself and sew your own Monsta companions. Ideal as a gift idea for sewing enthusiasts, for creative sewing afternoons, sewing classes or group sew-alongs.

 

 

 

Monsta Bags DIY Panel

With the MONSTA Bags panel, unique monster bags with lots of character can be created in no time. The bags are sewn from a wonderfully plush velvet quality and gain their own charming monster look through their ears, horns and details.

The expressive faces, the velvety surface and the three-dimensional details make every bag a real eye-catcher and a loyal Monsta companion in everyday life.

 

 

With lining and thoughtful details, the bags not only offer a distinctive design but also plenty of space for everything you need on the go. Whether for children, as a fun everyday bag or as a creative gift – the Monsta Bags are guaranteed to create a monstrously cool appearance.

The 100 cm high panel is available in two colours – petrol and purple – and is also perfect as a project for sewing classes or creative holiday sewing workshops.

 

 

The panel already includes all the necessary pieces for the bag directly on the fabric. A QR code leads to the free sewing instructions so the project can be completed step by step.

The panel creates large, soft Monsta cushions made from plush velvet that appear especially lively thanks to their three-dimensional details.

The monster’s mouth is particularly playful: with its small teeth and shaped lip it becomes a defining design element of the cushion.

 

These charming monsters invite you to cuddle, read or relax and quickly become favourite spots on the bed, sofa or in the children’s room. At the same time, the Monsta buddies also offer practical storage – small pockets and details can be used to store books, phones, snacks or little treasures.

 

 

 

With their lovingly designed details, the Monsta Pillows become decorative home accessories and true Monsta friends that make every home a little more cosy and playful.

They are also ideal for sewing classes, workshops or holiday sewing events – step by step, the panel becomes a finished Monsta buddy.

The soft cotton jersey is perfect for children’s clothing as well as women’s fashion: shirts, hoodies, leggings, trousers or cute pyjamas. Hairbands, tunics, skirts, dresses, bodysuits, baby clothing or shorts can also be sewn wonderfully from it.

Cotton Jersey Flowerpop by HIP SOM HAP

With Flowerpop, Sonja Verhoek from HIP SOM HAP brings a true explosion of colour and joy to fabric. The hand-painted flowers are created using markers and brushes and intentionally retain their small irregularities – visible brushstrokes, lively colour transitions and a free, dynamic line style.

 

 

 

The colour palette is clear and radiant: magenta, turquoise, sunny yellow, orange, coral and a hint of aqua meet and create a vibrant effect without appearing overloaded. Depending on the background colour, the design changes its impact – fresh and light on white, bold and modern on black, and especially radiant on berry tones.

 

 

Matching the flowers is a playful polka-dot design, also hand-painted and intentionally slightly irregular. The dots pick up the colours of the flowers and can be combined beautifully with the floral motifs. This creates exciting combinations of flowers and dots that look especially harmonious together.

 

 

The soft cotton jersey is perfect for shirts, dresses, leggings, skirts or summer sets for children and adults. Combinations of flowers and dots look particularly beautiful – for example dresses with contrasting pockets, sleeves or details. The result is cheerful sewing projects full of colour and joy.

Viscose Woven Fabric Iris

Iris is a versatile viscose woven fabric with expressive patterns and a beautifully fluid drape. The fabrics feel light and pleasant on the skin and are perfect for feminine summer garments that convey movement and lightness.

The collection features a varied range of designs – from larger floral motifs and graphic patterns to abstract watercolour elements. Some designs appear in several colourways, for example in delicate lilac and lavender tones, in warm shades of beige, terracotta and burgundy, or in cool grey, green and blue tones. Additional graphic patterns include dark blue versions with light lines or elegant combinations of burgundy and purple. Abstract floral designs in a watercolour style on a white background as well as colourful accents on black backgrounds also add variety to the collection. Another design appears on a white background in several colourways featuring ochre, burgundy and grey tones.

 

 

 

The softly flowing viscose is ideal for dresses, blouses, skirts or lightweight summer trousers. The fabric drapes beautifully and is pleasantly opaque, making it very suitable even for larger garments. Thanks to the versatile designs and colours, Iris can easily be worn across several seasons – for example combined with cardigans such as Bono or with basic fabrics like Jin or Jin-Melange for a relaxed layering look.

Textured Viscose Woven Fabric Vivien

Fine shine, a wonderfully soft feel and an exciting, slightly crepe-like texture – these qualities make Vivien truly special. The textured viscose woven fabric feels pleasantly soft, appears particularly elegant thanks to its subtle sheen and drapes beautifully due to its slightly higher weight. The result is a silky touch that clearly distinguishes it from classic smooth viscose fabrics.

The collection reflects current trend themes and presents four modern designs. These include elegant animal prints in timeless colour palettes, graphic chevron patterns and striking black-and-white designs. Warm beige and natural tones are also part of the collection, creating versatile combination possibilities.

Thanks to its beautiful drape and pleasant feel, Vivien is perfect for blouses, dresses, skirts or lightweight trousers. The textured surface gives garments additional depth and ensures that the fabrics create an elegant appearance even in simple cuts. Vivien is therefore a fashionable viscose quality for modern, feminine clothing with a distinctive character.

In the show you will see two beautiful garments – among them Pauline wearing an elegant dress made from textured viscose Vivien.

The collection features a varied selection of floral and graphic designs. Large floral motifs create expressive highlights, while smaller leaf patterns and graphic designs offer a calmer, more elegant look. The colour palette ranges from warm ochre and mustard tones to burgundy and brown as well as fresh greens and denim-blue variations with a subtle denim appearance. Some designs appear in several colourways, making them particularly versatile for combinations.

 

Thanks to its pleasant feel and natural look, Ira is ideal for summer garments such as dresses, skirts, blouses or lightweight trousers.

This makes it easy to mix and match the designs, creating a versatile fabric series for clothing and creative projects.

Canvas Cherry Picking Bag – DIY bag panel by Cherry Picking

The Cherry Picking Bag is one of Cherry Picking’s most popular DIY panels – and the latest edition once again features two new panels with a total of four original bag designs. Each panel is approximately 100 cm high and contains the pattern pieces for two bags, printed directly onto the fabric.

 

 

Anke from Cherry Picking has once again created four new, lovingly designed patterns for the Cherry Picking Bag 2026. On the first panel, a charmingly illustrated dachshund and retro roller skates put you in a good mood.

 

 

The colourful backgrounds and graphic combination patterns make the bags real eye-catchers. The designs look particularly lovely when combined with Swafing Wanja – for example in trendy lilac, which matches the colours of the designs perfectly.

 

   

 

The second panel features graphic heart-shaped hands and the humorous ‘Bullshit Remover’ bottle – two modern motifs with a touch of humour. Here too, vibrant colours, stripes, leopard-print elements and small graphic details create exciting combinations.

The pattern is already printed directly onto the fabric – simply cut it out and start sewing! As well as the bag pieces, the panels also include many well-thought-out details such as inner pockets (one of which is for sunglasses), labels and decorative elements. This means each bag can be customised.

 

 

With a matching lining fabric – for example, Rex faux leather, Rex Metallic, Calvin canvas or Wanja corduroy – the bags take on a particularly lovely shape. The spacious shopper size makes them perfect companions for everyday life, school, university or your next fabric shopping trip.

 

 

Particularly charming: the dachshund runs all the way round the bag and is even wonderfully suited for further projects such as decorative cushions or small accessories. The remaining fabric pieces can also be creatively reused – for example, for small pouches or key rings.

 

There is also a detailed tutorial for the Cherry Picking Bag Panel, making the bags very easy to sew. Ideal as a gift idea, workshop theme, for sewing classes, sew-alongs or as a complete sewing kit with coordinating fabrics, webbing and haberdashery.

Canvas Wild Stripes by Bienvenido Colorido

With Wild Stripes, bienvenido colorido presents an expressive canvas featuring vibrant stripes. The collection combines bold colours with slightly muted, earthy shades, creating a modern and versatile striped design. In addition to a colourful version, there is also a calmer variation in natural green and earth tones.

 

 

The stripes open up many creative possibilities. A particularly practical feature is that matching straps or small details can also be cut directly from the fabric itself. This makes it possible to coordinate bags, backpacks or accessories perfectly.

 

The pleasantly soft canvas is reminiscent of the popular Swafing canvas Calvin in its hand feel and is suitable not only for bags, but also for garments such as jackets, skirts or sturdy summer trousers. In terms of colour, Wild Stripes pairs particularly beautifully with corduroy velvet Wanja – the stripes pick up many of the typical Wanja shades and make the fabric an ideal coordinating partner for bags, accessories or creative sets.

Brush & Wild by Cherry Picking

With Brush & Wild, Cherry Picking presents a modern faux leather with two perfectly coordinated designs. The series combines a fine, subtle leopard pattern with a graphic brushstroke design – both motifs share the same colour palettes and can be combined beautifully with one another.

 

 

 

 

The leopard pattern has been intentionally designed to be smaller and calmer than classic animal prints, which gives it a particularly elegant and versatile look. The brushstrokes complement the leopard motif perfectly and add a lively, graphic note to the design. Both versions work very harmoniously both on their own and in combination.

 

 

The collection appears in five expressive colour combinations: beige with lilac, pink with blue, green with lilac, cognac with dark blue, and light grey with black. The colours are precisely coordinated and offer many possibilities for creative combinations.

 

 

 

It also looks beautiful when combined with corduroy velvet Wanja and canvas Calvin.

 

 

In Cologne and in our Highlights Show on Wednesday, 18 March from 7:00 pm, you can see wonderful sample models, including these cool backpacks.

 

 

The sturdy faux leather is perfect for bags, backpacks or accessories and combines especially well with Swafing Wanja – both with the classic basics and with the new trade fair colours. The designs feel modern yet understated, so both leopard lovers and fans of graphic patterns will find something to love.

 

 

Brush & Wild can be used to create stylish projects such as bags, backpacks, organisers, cases or kindergarten bags, which gain additional accents through small details such as labels or contrasting fabric combinations.

Teddy – Teddy Bouclé Fleece with colour-coordinated fleece backing

Teddy is a modern bouclé fleece with a soft fleece backing, combining two especially pleasant qualities: on the outside, the trendy, voluminous bouclé texture with small curls, and on the inside, a cosy fleece side. The backing is always colour-coordinated tone on tone with the bouclé surface, so the fabric also looks especially beautiful when used open.

The quality is soft, warm and at the same time pleasantly lightweight – ideal for cosy garments. Thanks to the fleece reverse, Teddy feels especially comfortable against the skin and is also easy to sew. Altogether, the fabric is available in 22 colours, ranging from classic shades to modern trend colours.

 

 

The distinctive bouclé texture reflects an important fashion and streetwear trend for the coming season: teddy materials are currently everywhere – from sporty jackets to casual accessories.

 

Teddy is perfect for garments such as jackets, troyers, waistcoats or teddy coats. Colour-blocking styles, in which different colours are combined, are especially popular at the moment. The fabric is also ideal for children’s clothing, cosy outdoor styles or casual streetwear looks.

In addition, Teddy can also be used beautifully for bags, backpacks or bum bags, where the voluminous texture creates special accents. Thanks to the matching fleece backing, even simple cuts immediately achieve a high-quality look – perfect for quick sewing projects.

Long Story – The XXL tape measure as a fabric panel

After its great success last year, Long Story is back. This special cotton jacquard with its extra-long tape measure design delighted many customers and inspired countless creative projects. From scarves and jackets to blankets and home accessories, this panel impressively demonstrates just how versatile a fabric can be.

The XXL panel is approximately 2.50 metres high and features an oversized tape measure motif that immediately catches the eye. The soft, pleasantly textured jacquard quality made from pure cotton is lightly brushed and especially comfortable to wear. This makes the fabric suitable both for clothing and for creative home décor ideas.

For the new edition, three new colourways are being introduced, each giving the characteristic tape measure motif a completely different effect. Warm natural tones meet modern contrasts and give the design a distinctive depth. Whether used on its own or in combination, each colour variation reveals its own unique character.

 

The fabric can be used as one impressive full panel, for example for a scarf, poncho or an extraordinary coat. At the same time, the panel offers many possibilities for dividing it up: several scarves can be sewn from one panel, or individual sections can be used creatively for different projects.

Long Story is also ideal for home textiles. As a sofa blanket, table runner or wall hanging, the tape measure motif becomes a true eye-catcher. The fabric also looks particularly beautiful when combined with other materials – for example with merino knit as a backing for a cosy blanket or a warm poncho.

Whether scarves, jackets, waistcoats, trousers, blankets or accessories, Long Story is a fabric that invites unlimited creativity. A true highlight for anyone who loves unusual designs and enjoys developing new ideas from a special panel again and again.

Kodiak – Teddy Bouclé with characteristic curls

Kodiak is our trendy teddy bouclé quality with a distinctive curled surface. The small, dense bouclé loops create a lively texture, an exceptionally soft hand feel and a wonderfully cosy appearance. Despite its voluminous structure, Kodiak is surprisingly soft, supple and pleasant to sew – the fabric is not stiff at all and feels very comfortable to wear.

This high-quality bouclé fabric originally comes from the upholstery industry and impresses with exceptional durability of more than 80,000 Martindale cycles. This makes Kodiak extremely robust, abrasion-resistant and long-lasting – ideal for many creative projects. The colour palette includes beautiful muted and earthy shades, including popular standard colours as well as new trend colours that are being presented for the first time at h+h cologne. Some colours are available exclusively for the trade fair, while others expand the standard range.

Kodiak is a versatile fabric for many applications. The trendy teddy bouclé material is perfect for garments such as jackets, waistcoats or coats and fits perfectly with the current cozy and outdoor trend. The fabric also looks beautiful in bags, accessories or decorative home textiles such as cushions or cosy blankets. Kodiak is even suitable for furniture upholstery – for example chairs, armchairs, sofas or stools – creating an especially warm and inviting atmosphere.

A great example project is the Bundle Bag, a practical nappy bag and organiser that can be sewn beautifully from Kodiak. The free sewing pattern offers plenty of storage space and well-designed interior compartments so that all essentials are always within reach. After the baby stage, the bag can easily be reused – for example as a sewing project bag, storage for toys or a practical organiser for travel and everyday life. The pattern is also ideal for sewing classes or kits and may be printed, shared and used freely.

For the h+h trade fair there will be new colours for the standard range as well as exclusive colours available only during h+h cologne.

Teddy Bouclé Kodiak – New standard colours

Three additional beautiful natural tones are being introduced into the standard range and are presented for the first time at h+h cologne. A light, soft grey-green, a warm beige sand tone and a rich chocolate brown expand the colour palette with timeless, natural shades. These colours feel calm and elegant and perfectly match the cosy character of the teddy bouclé. At the same time they combine beautifully with many other fabrics and are ideal for modern jackets, waistcoats or coats as well as stylish home accessories.

 

The colours look particularly beautiful in clothing projects: whether short teddy jackets, relaxed transitional jackets or cosy overshirts – the natural colour palette highlights the modern, urban look of the fabric and makes Kodiak a real favourite for the coming season.

 

 

 

Thanks to its extremely high abrasion resistance of more than 80,000 Martindale cycles, Kodiak is also perfect for durable home textiles and pet projects. The dense, hard-wearing teddy bouclé is soft and cosy at the same time and therefore ideal for dog baskets, cat beds or comfortable pet cushions. Combined with the soft corduroy fabric Wanja, especially cosy favourite spots for pets can be created. The combination of fluffy bouclé on the outside and velvety cord on the inside brings together durability and comfort and also blends harmoniously into modern interiors thanks to the calm natural tones.

In addition to the new trade fair colours and the newly introduced standard shades, Kodiak of course also includes the popular standard colours that are available from stock. The palette ranges from a warm natural tone and a calm sage green to elegant taupe, classic mid grey and deep black. These timeless colours form the perfect base for many projects and can be combined beautifully with one another or with other fabrics.

The calm bouclé colours look particularly beautiful in clothing such as teddy jackets, troyers, waistcoats or cosy outdoor styles. Bags, bum bags, nappy bags or accessories also gain a particularly high-quality look thanks to the textured surface. At the same time, the classic shades are ideal for home textiles or upholstery projects where a durable yet cosy fabric is required.

 

Using our curly teddy bouclé Kodiak together with the free Bundle Bag sewing pattern, you can sew a super trendy nappy bag with plenty of storage space. The large opening and the practical interior compartments with dividers and pockets make it easy to keep everything organised and within reach. The stylish bag looks fantastic in teddy bouclé Kodiak or in any fabric of your choice.

It is a great sewing project and ideal for beginners, sewing classes or kits with outer fabric, lining, hook-and-loop tape and interfacing. The organiser also makes a wonderful gift for a new baby.

Jin & Jin Melange – versatile cotton knit for modern looks

With Jin and Jin Melange, two especially versatile cotton knit qualities are joining the range. The soft cotton knit with elastane stands out thanks to its pleasant stretch and shape retention: after being stretched, the fabric returns to its original shape and does not lose its form. This makes it ideal for a wide variety of sewing projects – from clothing to accessories.

The knit feels pleasantly soft, has a beautiful hand and is wonderful to sew. Particularly practical: Jin and Jin Melange can be perfectly combined with the cuff qualities Heike and Heike Melange from the basic range or in the colours of the HW 26/27 collection, as well as with the slightly heavier cuff quality Nanni HW26/27. Simply choose the same colour numbers.

Many of these colours directly reflect the trend colours of the current autumn/winter collection. This means the fabrics can be combined perfectly with the matching cuffs: the colours match Heike HW26/27 and the heavier cuff quality Nanni HW26/27. Matching cuffs for dark blue and black are also available in the regular Heike basic range.

This creates especially harmonious combinations for cuffs, edges or complete outfits.

 

 

The elastic cotton knit is ideal for roll-neck sweaters, hoodies, knit dresses, shirts or cardigans. Jin is also perfect for beanies or as an alternative to cuff fabric. Its pleasant hand makes it possible to create modern garments for children, women and men – from casual loungewear to stylish everyday outfits.

The designs feel modern and playful at the same time: floral motifs, stylised blossoms, small graphic patterns and decorative elements alternate and, true to the name, tell their own little “flower tales”.

 

Particularly beautiful is the coordinated colour palette of the collection. Warm natural and beige tones, rich blue and petrol shades, vibrant reds and fresh green accents run throughout the different designs.

Fabric gift bags are also especially lovely, allowing small presents such as wine bottles, sweets or other surprises to be wrapped in a stylish way. They are a sustainable and decorative alternative to classic wrapping paper.

The different patterns can be combined particularly beautifully. As inspiration, we show a large quilt project in which the various designs have been used together.

The panel has been deliberately designed to be simple and practical so that the advent calendar can be sewn quickly and no instructions are needed. The individual pieces are already printed on the fabric, so they only need to be cut out, folded over and sewn together. This also makes the panel ideal for beginners, sewing classes or quick DIY projects during the run-up to Christmas.

 

The panel creates 24 small fabric bags that are perfect for a homemade advent calendar. The finished bags can be hung on a ribbon, a branch or an advent ladder and can be reused year after year. A lovely and sustainable sewing project that makes the pre-Christmas season even more special.

Cotton Jersey Mistletoe by Lausemia Design

Mistletoe is an atmospheric winter design on cotton jersey inspired by a very personal Christmas tradition of the designer. During winter walks with her family, she collects mistletoe sprigs every year, ties them into small bundles and gives them to family and friends. This inspired the idea for a seamless pattern of illustrated mistletoe sprigs.

The design features delicate mistletoe sprigs with berries, arranged as a calm all-over pattern across the fabric. The illustration feels modern and clear, yet also detailed and lovingly designed. The motif is printed on a natural-coloured background, while the twigs and leaves appear in different shades of green and are complemented by the typical bright berries. The deliberately reduced colour palette ensures that the fabric remains especially versatile to combine.

 

 

The soft cotton jersey is perfect for many winter garments. It looks particularly beautiful in sweaters, shirts, pyjamas or cosy homewear, but can also be used to sew lovely dresses for the Christmas season.

Thanks to the calm all-over pattern, the fabric feels both modern and elegant and suits both relaxed comfort pieces and slightly dressier outfits for the festive season.

Mistletoe by Lausemia 082842 Cotton jersey made from 95% cotton, 5% elastane, 150 cm, approx. 210 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 12 July. Delivery date: Sep/Oct.

 


 

 

Ho, ho, ho! We love the anticipation, the gift-giving and above all the time spent with family. The new fun Christmas sweats make the festive season even more enjoyable. The sweats are suitable for young and old, boys and girls, women and men – in other words, for the whole family. Best of all, everyone can choose their favourite design. And as a little bonus, our hardworking Christmas elf sample sewing team had already finished the Christmas cards back in March.

Cool Christmas fabrics for him and her, for young and old.

 

Christmas Sweat Holly

Holly has long been one of the popular classics of the winter Swafing collections. The brushed sweat fabric stands out thanks to its cosy, soft quality and cheerful winter and Christmas motifs, which bring new ideas and variations every year.

This season, Holly once again delights with a wide range of designs. Playful candy canes, sweets and lollipops in red and white create a classic Christmas mood. Added to this are lovingly illustrated figures such as elves, a reindeer with a string of lights and the popular Christmas dachshund, which appears in two colourways – once on mint and once on a dark blue background.

 

A special highlight is the humorous Ugly Sweater designs. Here, a colourful mix of motifs comes together: radios, llamas, unicorns, monstera leaves, dinosaurs and swans all appear together in a deliberately quirky and playful all-over design. The collection is complemented by little dinosaurs on skis carrying presents on their backs, an especially cute variation for children.

 

 

For those who prefer something a little calmer, there are also elegant winter branches and holly berries. These appear in darker colourways such as dark blue or black with sage and gold tones and bring a modern, stylish Christmas atmosphere to the fabric.

 

The brushed sweat is pleasantly soft, warming and very comfortable to wear. Holly is perfect for hoodies, sweaters, lounge sets, jogging trousers or cosy winter outfits. It also works beautifully for children’s clothing, pyjamas or family looks for the Christmas season.

With Holly, the last three digits of the colour number are coordinated with the basic articles. For example, cuff fabric Heike 636 matches all Holly fabrics with the ending 636. Jersey, sweat, French terry or cuffs can therefore be combined perfectly with the Swafing basics.

This lighter sweat quality is especially popular for Christmas sweaters, Christmas dresses, hoodies, loungewear, sweat jackets and matching partner looks for Christmas photos.

Holly 082832 Brushed sweat made from 95% cotton, 5% elastane, 150 cm, approx. 295 g/m², certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Available to order at h+h cologne from 20 March and in the Swafing online shop from 23 March! Order deadline: 12 July. Delivery date: Sep/Oct.
