No white suits pastels better than a warm natural shade: it lifts mint, light pink plus baby blue without hardening the contrast. That is exactly why this bright tone stays popular around first baby wardrobes. This French terry sits in the middle weight, draping softly, suiting rompers, small jumpers plus sweat dresses. One practical tip: light fabrics show wear first at sleeves plus necklines. Ordering a little extra lets a favourite garment be refreshed later with minimal effort. Because the range runs colour-matched across Vanessa, Maike, Eike plus Heike, a whole outfit can combine several fabric types.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle plus stitch work best?
Sew using a stretch or jersey needle in size 80, moving up to 90 across several layers at a hood or waistband. An overlocker or elastic stitch keeps seams flexible; neaten the edges, since the loops inside otherwise fray.
What should I keep in mind when washing?
Wash at 30 degrees inside out on a gentle cycle, without bleach, skipping the tumble dryer, then iron inside out at low temperature. Pre-wash before cutting, because French terry shrinks more than jersey does.
Which fabrics match this colour exactly?
Maike is colour-matched to Vanessa, Eike plus Heike by Swafing: identical colour code, identical shade. Shirt, jacket plus ribbing combine without any colour deviation — practical whenever an outfit uses several fabric types.
How should I finish hems plus sleeves?
The neatest finish uses Heike ribbing in the same colour code rather than a folded hem, since that adds less bulk at sleeves or hips. The shade matches exactly, because both ranges share one colour code.
