Tomten’s Forest Friends Double Edge Border

From £15.99

Tomten’s Forest Friends by Eva Melhuish for Lewis and Irene is a stunning collection of Christmas prints featuring the Scandinavian mythological creature, the Tomten. 

The Tomten’s Forest Friends Double Edge Border fabric features the same large Christmas tree print as the quilt panel.  This is an extra-wide fabric, ideal for Christmas tablecloths.  The fabric can also be used for dressmaking; divide in the middle to make a child’s skirt and choose from the co-ordinating allover prints in the Tomten collections to complete your project. 

Each metre length of the fabric contains four of the Christmas tree images, with the pattern repeat measuring approximately 45cm.  The print along the border of the fabric extends to approximately 29.5cm to the top of the trees.  The central dark blue sky section, matching the moon and star allover print, is approximately 85cm wide and then the tree print is mirrored along the other edge of the fabric.  The star-topped trees are beautifully decorated with baubles, lanterns and gifts.  Around the trees you can see Tomte skating, fishing, skiing, sledging, building snowmen and carrying presents.  Look carefully and you will also spy hares, cats, reindeer, owls and robins.  The design is further enhanced with wintry trees and snowflakes and Tomten’s village can be seen in the background.  This is a beautiful design which would grace any Christmas table!
