We are so excited to present our own collection of beautiful, luxurious and sustainable fabrics for dressmaking.
Our latest collection “Summer Party” celebrates colour and its joyous impact on us. Gemstones was designed by Rachel Parker, a lovely personality who has brought a lot of colour and joy to our handmade wardrobes. It features hand painted abstract design of colourful gems in bold and beautiful rainbow of colours.
Gemstones cotton sateen is smooth with luxurious soft handle and silky finish. It is made from Organic fibres certified by The Global Organic Textile Standard. It is soft, sews beautifully and makes comfortable and attractive garments which are also sustainable.
Organic fibres are natural fibres grown without the use of synthetic pesticides (such as insecticides), or herbicides and GMOs (Genetic Modified Organisms) according to the principles of organic agriculture. Organic agriculture is a production process that sustains the health of ecosystems, soils and people.
The Inks used in the production of “Summer Party” fabrics are also GOTS certified Organic quality and water based, so natural and sustainable, good for the skin and for the nature.

It is advisable to overlock the cut edges before wash to avoid fraying.

Use brand new, fine Microtex needle as well as new extra fine pins when sewing Sateen fabrics to maintain the sheen and beauty of it.
