Bed linen for a girl – what patterns?
Creating bed linen for a girl by yourself gives her the possibility to choose the fabric. There is a wide range of patterns and colours, as well as textiles in cooler, more neutral colours available at our CottonBee shop. Fairy-tale textiles with vivid colours are by far the most popular choice for girls. A prime example of such is the unicorn sewing fabric, which is maintained in a cheerful, girlish colour scheme that is dominated by pink. Fairy-tale unicorn figures have been combined with colourful rainbows and white clouds, colourful mermaid scales or animals like cats and dogs. Older girls will definitely appreciate bed linen fabrics with floral or animal spots prints. Subtle pastel patterns will be a great girly addition for a teen girl’s room.
