DIY panels are on trend!

DIY panels are all the rage! The pattern is already included - just cut it out and start sewing! With the detailed instructions, you'll be sewing your models in no time at all and everything will fit together beautifully!

Whether as a basis for sewing boxes (with the matching combination fabrics and haberdashery), as a theme for online workshops and sew-alongs or as an ideal project for sewing beginners - we love the practical fabric panels!

There are four exciting DIY panels from Swafing at h+h cologne!

New "Tierbeutel" (Animal Bag) panels by käselotti
Käselotti presents four new animal bags for h+h cologne 2024! The very special set for children is now available with lion, elephant, unicorn and pony / horse! You can use the animal bag DIY panel to sew a gym bag/backpack with matching neck pouch, a pencil case and a small stuffed animal. You also get great appliqués with which you can decorate these or other models with lions, elephants, unicorns and ponies / horses! To make sure nothing gets lost, the animal pouches and breast pouches have the practical labeling field under the flap! So cute for children - for nursery, as a gym bag or for leisure time. The animal bags are practical to carry as a rucksack and offer enough space for a bottle and lunch box! Of course, they can also be used as a bag for a change of clothes or for games and books on the go. The pencil case is ideal for pens, small toys for on the go or as a pouch for cream, small wet wipes & tissues etc. There is also a breast pouch and the pocket animal, which is always there as a companion and little comforter!

Käselotti My Happy Farm
Käselotti presents a very special play set for children: the My Happy Farm farm play set is a wonderful gift for your favorite little person! A farmhouse that can be opened up at the side and played with beautifully, a tractor, bales of straw and of course a whole stable full of animals! The farm serves as practical storage - simply pack up all the animals and co., close them up and take them to friends, grandma's or on vacation! A favorite play set for your child, grandchild, godchild... that is sure to bring joy for a long time and be passed on in the family!

When you open up the house, you can play inside and there's even a barn door to open! The inside of the house folds down to reveal a small meadow area - all so lovingly thought out and illustrated! A whole farm is included on the 2 m high DIY panel: 1 stable/house, 1 tractor, 2 cows, 2 pigs, 2 horses, 3 sheep, 1 dog and 1 cat, 6 chickens and 1 rooster as well as 5 bales of straw! That's exactly 24 pieces in addition to the house - wouldn't this be a unique Advent calendar where you can set up the house and then unwrap an animal, bale of straw or the tractor every day? The play farm is complete at Christmas!

My Sewing Bag by Swafing
My Sewing Bag - sew your own sewing bag - for sewing courses, sewing weekends, sewing meetings or as a super practical project bag for at home! It looks great, is super practical and fits perfectly into the square fabric shelf from Sweden that many creative people have in their sewing room. The new My Sewing Bag adapts to YOUR needs - with customizable compartments, adjustable strap, slip pocket/outer pocket, pattern compartment in the lid, a divider and lots of storage space! You can divide and rearrange the practical interior again and again to suit your needs and current projects. There's room for scissors or other tools in the practical slip pocket, the fabric clips can be clipped to the bar in the lid and you can also use the lid as a giant pincushion! The inner bottom separates the inner life - this is where your fabric or overlock thread will find its place. The bag is approx. 40 cm wide, 24 cm high and 29 cm deep.

The My Sewing Bag Panel is available in two beautiful colors: Green with dusky pink and denim blue with pink. The panel is approx. 160 cm high.

DIY Halloween bag by Thorsten Berger
For the big looting on Halloween, there are three fun, scary DIY panels that can be easily sewn into cool Halloween carrier bags. This way, you're guaranteed to be able to transport your trick-or-treat treasures home safely - if they're not eaten beforehand!

All panels contain the pattern pieces for a carrier bag, which can be individually pimped with labels or patches. Key rings or a small additional "sweets bag" can also be sewn from it ... or you can discover completely different and exciting ways of sewing it. In addition to the shopper-style bags, you can also use them to sew gym bags, for example!

Each bag design has two different motifs so that you can always show the right message on the outside and give a signal depending on your mood when carrying the bag ... but the sewn bags are also a guaranteed eye-catcher with a fun factor for everyday use. The spooky girl with the pigtails plays "Good Girl, Bad Girl", the ghost bag with the Boo and Hoo motif and the creepy green zombie with the warning "Walking Zombies Crossing" - the green bag goes perfectly with the French Terry panel "Halloween" with the zombie!

We will be presenting the new DIY panels at the Swafing stand - with a wide range of models, of course! More information at swafing.de/lookbook
