New Fabrics Coming In!

I love sourcing new fabrics and discovering new things. I may not have discovered anything new as such but I have found some beautiful Hemp and Linen fabric blends I cannot wait to share with you - some gorgeous chambrays which will be perfect for those springtime layers!

Hemp is known as not being particular fashionable; a harsh hard fabric typically associated with peasant-style, sack-like shapes. However, when blended with other natural fibres, the handle can change, creating drapery - much more ideal for blouses and more fitted garments.

Did you know that Hemp naturally controls pests, which mean that pesticides are not required to help them grow. A strong hardy plant, the roots protect themselves against any weeds or plants that try to grow in their space, and require little water. Why can't more plants be like this?!
