People say that children today aren’t like children in the past, but it’s likely that every new generation says the same thing. We believe children are still children, and there are things that will never stop catching their attention. It seems pretty hard, for example, that they’ll ever stop having fun playing cowboys and Indians. That’s why fabrics with tipis will always be a great choice for making them cute clothes.
And not just clothes: they’d probably rather run around naked and have a real tipi in their room. Which, by the way, is much easier and cheaper than you might imagine. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a look at the tutorial for making a tipi that we have in the Club.
But it’s our job to keep them warm and looking very cute. So let’s show you some fabrics and an example or two of what you can make with them.
Fabrics with tipis you can buy online
1. Blue tipi by Kimsa Desingn
The first and most obvious thing we can say about Blue Tipi is that it’s beautiful. For clothing, accessories, cases, linings… This knit fabric works for everything. It’s stretchy, soft, and has a GOTS certification. This certification guarantees that it was manufactured under conditions that respect the standards for ecologically and socially responsible textile production.
On the product page, you’ll find all the information about washing and ironing, as well as dimensions and prices.
We selected a photo where you can see how it looks in a set consisting of a beanie and drop-crotch pants for little ones (two tutorials you can also find in the Club). As you can see, it pairs perfectly with black, which makes the design stand out and look even prettier.
If you like it, be quick—we only have a very few left in stock.
2. Gansu Village Cloudwhite by Art Gallery Fabrics
Gansu Village isn’t knit; it’s woven, 100% cotton. The design is colorful and childlike, as if a child had drawn it by hand. It also offers endless possibilities, and because the print includes so many different shades, it pairs with lots of colors: greens, pinks, grays, and, of course, black.
Right now we only have 4 units in stock, so you’ll also need to hurry if you’ve already decided that this is the fabric you want for your next project.
Look at how well it pairs with gray Kraft Tex, although it would also look great with black or brown. We love fabrics that coordinate this well!
