Fabric & notions from my shop
- Plum Washed Ramie - made from nettle fibres, with a similar feel to linen, ramie feels and looks better the more it is worn.
- Lady McIlroy Sands Linen Cotton - this cotton linen mix has a little more movement than standard linen and does not crease to the same degree.
- Mid Wash Chambray - mid wash is always a good shade to put on with any outfit. Chambray gives the look of denim but the feel of a light cotton.
- Stretch Cotton Twill - a classic black or sand colour that to see you through year after year. The little bit of stretch helps as well if you, like me, need a little extra ease at certain times of the year haha!
