Breaking out the colour
I really love working with natural coloured linen and it is such a great background for those Liberty prints, but this year I noticed that the rather super Ray-Stitch had some good quality, heavier weight, coloured linens. I spent a long time deliberating but in the end I decided to be brave and order.
The deep grey linen arrived it had a lovely handle and I knew that the weight was perfect for phone cases and that sort of thing, but I was anxious.
I always use ecru.
What if my customers did not like grey? What if none of my Liberty prints worked with this grey?
I made a few and took them to Woodbridge on Saturday. Hurrah, they sold beautifully.
Dark, elephant grey linen and Liberty Tana Lawn, in the Handmade at Poshyarns shop now.
