sewing with Lillestoff fabric

I truly do…organic cotton, stretch jersey, retro, colourful prints, bright, ethical, so many favourite words in there and all encapsulated by  Lillestoff…

I would never ever blog or recommend anything that I did not believe in, or use myself. I noticed lillestoff sometime ago and gazed wistfully at their gorgeous fabrics, (stretch cotton Jersey is sadly lacking in choice where I live, but is a fabric I enjoy sewing)

Imagine my suprise and delight, when Lillestoff contacted little old me and asked if they could send me some fabric, anything I wanted!

My first choice is this one its called ‘Diamonds’ in olive, a 95% organic cotton and 5% spandex. I used an old 1970’s vintage pattern and shortened it to a tunic. Comfortable, cool to wear and organic! whats not to like?

This was the result: I like to think it is moving towards a  ‘Boho’ style, what do you think?

My next makes are two Papercut Ensis t-shts or maybe three (its such a superb pattern) ….coming soon!
