For those of you who are new to sewing and don’t know where to start when it comes to colour, here are my beginner-level suggestions for combining your fabrics.

Go complementary I admit I like to err on the brighter and louder side of things so I love nothing more than picking two colours that complement each other. Traditional complementary colour duos (hues that sit opposite each other on the colour wheel) include blue and yellow, red and blue, blue and pink, and turquoise and orange. If you aren’t sure what colours complement each other look for a colour wheel on the Internet for reference.

Go tonal An easy way to group colours is to pick lighter or darker shades of your focus colour. Say, for example, your bag exterior fabric has a red rose pattern; your lining fabric could have pink tones.

Go monochrome … with a twist Black and white is a classic colour combination, which always looks fabulous. Try adding a third flash of colour such as red, electric blue or lime to the monochrome palate to add an unexpected zing to your bag.
