You love the small, fine charm packs as much as I do? Wonderful, then I have some nice projects for you here! Charm packs are so-called precuts, i.e. pre-cut patchwork fabrics, and contain 42 x 5 inch squares (12.7 cm) as a package. The great thing is that a charm pack always contains all the fabrics from a collection, so the squares go perfectly together. So if you sew a patchwork project from a Charm Pack, a harmonious result is almost guaranteed. If you want to make something bigger out of it, you can add solids (plain fabrics) to Charm Packs – I’m happy to help you choose!

The advantages of Charm Packs at a glance

  • Large selection : The large manufacturers of patchwork fabrics offer charm packs of many of their fabric collections, the choice here is very large
  • Diversity : a Charm Pack contains at least 1 of all the fabric patterns in a collection, so you get a wonderful selection of patterns and colours
  • Plenty of Patterns : There are tons of free patterns online that are made specifically for Charm Packs – perfect for baby quilts, placemats, cushions, table runners and bags
  • Value for money: a Charm Pack costs €15.60 from us and you get roughly the equivalent of 60 cm of fabric with a fabric width of 1.10 m – this is more than if you would buy goods by the metre, but you get a whole collection
