Robert Kaufman Fabrics<\/a> is probably best known for their Kona Cottons, which are used by many of us because they come in a wonderful range of solid colors, three hundred and three to be exact! Every year they do a Kona color of the year. I don\u2019t know how long Robert Kaufman has been doing a Kona color of the year, but last year the Kona color was a yellow named Highlight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Kona color of the year is Pink Flamingo<\/a> and it has been described as a vibrant, clean, and perfectly playful pink. It translates easily to girl\u2019s fashion and therefore sewing for girls.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve put together some examples on how to add some Pink Flamingo to girl Oliver + S patterns to get your creative juices flowing.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

1) Building Block Dress<\/a><\/strong>
\nEveryone\u2019s favorite new sewing pattern: the Building Block Dress, would be darling in solid Pink Flamingo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

2) Roller Skate Dress<\/a><\/strong>
\nA Roller Skate Dress would be cute in a popular Cotton and Steel fabric<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

3) Hide-and-seek Dress<\/a><\/strong>
\nHow about a Hide-and-Seek Dress in an Anna Maria Horner Loominous<\/a> fabric?<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

4) Butterfly Blouse<\/a><\/strong>
\nYou can add just a touch of Pink Flamingo. I think a Butterfly Blouse would look lovely in this pretty floral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

5) Swingset Skirt<\/a><\/strong>
\nHow fun would it be to sew up a Swingset Skirt in flamingo fabric<\/a>?<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

6) Butterfly Skirt<\/a><\/strong>
\nFor a cute skirt try the Butterfly Skirt in this Woodland Clearing fabric<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

7) Playtime Dress<\/a><\/strong>
\nAnd speaking of the Woodland Clearing fabric collection, here\u2019s another possibility for you. Try this bird print<\/a> on a Playtime Dress.<\/p>\n
