Brighten up your life with the latest trend – Colour blocking.
Wearing colour can not only boost your mood and bring joy to yourself and others but it can also spark the production of the happy hormone, dopamine.
Why not experiment with colour blocking in your next project, here are some ways to inject some colour and fun into your wardrobe.
Use colour to highlight the different design details of a pattern such as the collar, cuffs and sleeves.
We love the idea of using different shades of the same colour across the different pattern pieces of the Albie Woven Shirt and Pant sewing patterns to create an eye catching yet harmonious co-ord.
Get creative with your next sewing project by introducing a fabric with a bold pattern in tonal or contrasting colours to create an eye catching look.
Yvette looks effective in this purple/pink striped fabric. By cutting the panels in different orientations, you can enhance the impact of the multiple pattern pieces.

Why limit yourself to a single fabric for your upcoming sewing project? Embrace the art of combining colors…
Creating an impactful look can be achieved by pairing complementary colors, such as green and pink, purple and yellow, or orange and green.
Equally effective results can be obtained by combining analogous colors, like blue and purple, as showcased in this Hendrix Coat.
