Garment Suggestions:
This fabric will of course make the most superior shirts and blouses from classic cuts to more boho, cottage core styles, like the Tilly and the Buttons Marnie Blouse also perfect for extending into a dress! The Megan Nielsen Protea Capsule Wardrobe is another excellent choice. Add colourful buttons and contrast interior cuffs and collars to your shirts for a luxury take on a classic style.
Spoil yourself and make the most luxurious pyjamas (Closet Core Carolyn Pyjamas is an ideal pattern) and matching robes (the Sew Different Jhoti Duster Jacket). Add some neat contrasting piping or some colourful embroidery to create a feature in your unique way.
Other Uses:
Use to make the most deliciously soft and silky breathable lining for your woollen makes- bags, scarves, hats caps, waistcoats and skirts.
