This cotton patchwork fabric features a delicate pattern of stylised butterflies, evenly scattered over a background dotted with fine micro-dots. The butterflies, with their finely detailed wings, bring lightness and movement to the overall design while maintaining a clear and balanced visual structure. The harmonious spacing of the motifs makes this fabric particularly easy to incorporate into patchwork compositions. The design is available in four coordinated colourways:
149-B: deep and elegant teal blue background
149-G: bright green background, fresh and natural
149-P: vivid pink background, cheerful and expressive
149-Q: light cream background, soft and luminous
Each colourway highlights a lively and contrasting palette combining pink, turquoise, purple and light accents, ideal for adding freshness and a touch of whimsy without overwhelming your projects. This fabric is part of the Tropica collection by Makower UK, inspired by lush tropical nature, where stylised fauna and flora are expressed through intense colours and richly decorative patterns. Tropica prints allow for the creation of dynamic, joyful and cohesive designs, whether used as statement pieces or as coordinating fabrics.

Its high-quality cotton and airy pattern also make it perfectly suited for garment sewing (shirts, lightweight dresses, skirts) as well as the creation of accessories such as bags, pouches, cases or textile décor items, adding softness and a poetic touch to your creations.
