Robert Kaufman Fabrics is renowned for their Kona Cottons, a collection of solid-colored fabrics that offer an impressive array of 303 different hues. Each year, they introduce a Kona color of the year, and 2016’s highlight shade was a sunny yellow named “Highlight.†For 2017, the chosen color is Pink Flamingo, a vibrant, clean, and playful pink that perfectly captures the spirit of youthful fashion.
This year’s Kona color is not only eye-catching but also incredibly versatile, making it perfect for sewing projects tailored towards young girls. To inspire your creativity, I’ve put together some ideas on how to incorporate Pink Flamingo into popular Oliver + S patterns.
Firstly, imagine a Building Block Dress crafted from solid Pink Flamingo fabric. This timeless design would be both charming and modern, ideal for little ones who love a pop of color.
Another great option is the Roller Skate Dress, which could look adorable paired with a lively Cotton and Steel print. The contrast between the bold pink and intricate patterns would create a visually appealing ensemble.
For something more whimsical, consider the Hide-and-Seek Dress paired with Anna Maria Horner’s Loominous fabric. The combination of playful designs and vibrant pink would make this piece stand out.
If you're looking to add a subtle touch of Pink Flamingo, the Butterfly Blouse could be paired with a delicate floral print. This approach offers a more understated yet elegant look that still incorporates the season's color.
A Swingset Skirt in Pink Flamingo would be a delightful choice for active girls who love to twirl and play. Its cheerful hue would pair beautifully with casual tops or sweaters.
The Butterfly Skirt could also benefit from this lively shade. Imagine it paired with a woodland-themed print like the Woodland Clearing collection—this would create a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs and bold pink tones.
Lastly, for those who prefer a bit of storytelling through their sewing, the Playtime Dress adorned with bird prints could bring a narrative charm to the outfit. Pairing it with Pink Flamingo adds a fresh twist to classic designs.
