Something old, something new, something magic: The Dreaming is a fabric collection that honors the intention we put into what we create, whether it’s for others or ourselves. There is a secret significance in each of these patterns; what first seems ordinary becomes alchemy.

There’s power in the motions of sewing, quilting, and crafting; when we create with our full consciousness, the final product becomes a mark in time, a story to share, an incantation that makes our hopes, dreams, and wishes tangible.

With visual inspiration taken from Victorian-era shirting and the 1980’s goth/punk/alternative scene, The Dreaming’s vivid florals, tiny prints, and celestial patterns are available in every Hawthorne Supply Co. substrate. Conscious creators can enhance their sewing practice with prints designed to connote abundance, new beginnings, and the magic of the moon and sky.

The Language of Flowers

Moonflower Trellis

Flush with morning glories that call in new beginnings and fresh new energy, this print is a floral field that floats above ethereal shapes. It’s a fresh take on the traditional small floral print, celebrating the way we exist in the space between Earth and sky.

Moonspell

This print is like walking into a night garden in full bloom: Plentiful crocuses sway in the twilight, whispering abundance and love into thick summer air, their blooms made luminous by layers of soft light.

Morning Glories

A sea of verdant vines open their petals as the last stars of the night twinkle out: Morning glories are known as a symbol of strength and resilience, the sign of new beginnings and new energy. 

Moon Garden

A floral arrangement in the glint of a radiant night, Moon Garden is a combination of four flowers to signify clarity, love, feminine energy, and spiritual development: saffron crocus, honesty, moonwort, and morning glory. 

Dreamscape

A floral astral plane where saffron crocus and Lunaria annua (honesty) dance with moons, stars and triangles. Since Victorian times, these flowers have stood as messages of clarity, abundance, and love. 

Earth, Moon, and Sky

Overcast

Our atmosphere surrounds us while the moon pulls our oceans’ tides, stirring up new phases of life, and sometimes influencing the weather, reminding us of our ties to the greater universal ecosystem. 

Moonstones

These gems are named Moonstones because they evoke the soft glow of moonlight, held in your hand. This print repeats four tiny triangles to summon the four elements (air, earth, fire, and water) and illuminate the way we take inspiration from our environment, whether buried in the ground or high above.

Lunar Lights

The Lunar Lights print creates lanterns from the meteors that flash on the surface of the moon, so we can carry a little bit of moonlight with us in light or in darkness. 

Phoebe Dot

We go through days, seasons, and phases, and each one is significant in its own way. This print honors the clarity found with the passage of time, sprinkling shadow over moons as they wax and wane.

Wax and Wane

Wax and Wane tells the story of life’s ebb and flow, and calls us to be ready to hear the call of creative inspiration whenever it strikes. This print tells the language of time—and reminds us to be confident as we enter new chapters. 

Sprinkle Geo

Sprinkle Geo is an 80s-inspired print with natural themes translated into a bold new era, an offering for creators seeking freedom, discovery, and rumination.

Starry

The elements within us have come through supernovas to be part of who we are. With twinkling stars layered over triangles that connote the earthly ingredients that make life possible, Starry’s print signifies connection and permanence.
