Do you also love this sweet, refreshing color but aren’t sure how to combine mint-colored fabrics for your sewing projects? Sometimes deciding how we’re going to make something is harder than actually making it. And that happens very often when choosing fabrics. By the time you finally decide, the ones you liked have already sold out and you have to start all over again. But it’s just… such an important decision!
Fabric choice changes everything, and a garment can go from ordinary to amazing—or from beautiful to ugly. In our case, since we’re surrounded by fabrics all day, things are a little different. As soon as they arrive at the shop, Laura unwraps them, looks at them happily with her X-ray vision, and in one second has already decided what she’s going to turn them into. We’re sure it’s a gift.
Today we’re going to help you combine mint-colored fabrics to make the decision a little easier. Would you like to see some examples?
Combining mint-colored fabrics: 3 highly visual examples
1. Mint and pink: sweet, very sweet.
Combining mint-colored fabrics with pink tones results in an extraordinarily sweet combination. That’s why it’s perfect for the little ones at home. If you’re more traditional, you’ll see the ideal combination for a girl, and if you’re simply a color lover, you’ll love it regardless.
In any case, the combination is naïve, soft, and childlike. It looks beautiful in interior decor: in our post about rooms for little ones, you can see some examples for inspiration. But you’ll also be smitten when you use it for clothing and accessories, as in the outfit in the photograph.

2. Mint and white: fresh and light
One of the safest and simplest ways to combine mint-colored fabrics is with white. It never fails. The combination is suitable for all kinds of interiors, garments, accessories, ages, genders, and applications. Just look at how great the birthday crown bag in the photograph turned out.
In this case, we used a neutral white, broken only by black lines. The result is very fresh and light. You can also use a white fabric with a colored print containing tones that complement mint, or mint tones, as in the example we opened the post with.
And if you like the birthday crown, we also have the tutorial in Lulu Ferris, of course. And if you’d rather have us make it for you because you’re short on time or skill, you can also request a custom order.
3. Mint and gray/black: contrast and conquer
To finish this short list of suggestions for combining mint fabrics, we’re moving from lightness to contrast. These aren’t the only ways to combine them—there are many more! But to make things easier and more visual, we’ve narrowed down the options and chosen examples of projects that are already finished. That way, you can see the effect and imagine it much more accurately.
We already knew that mint looks great with black from printed fabrics like Panda Mint and Dots Mint. But it turns out that gray looks just as good with it, whether lighter or darker. In the project we chose to illustrate this, the gray fabric also has mint details, but it doesn’t have to. The combination would work just as well if both fabrics were solid.
But if you like the Keep on Groovin’ fabric we chose to make this car-seat organizer, hurry because we only have seven units left in stock. Check the product page to see the size of each unit.
And if what you want is to learn how to make the organizer, it’s also in Lulu Ferris.
