Made from our Avocado Cotton-Linen Woven.

This fabric was such a joy to sew since it’s so easy to work with.

Pattern Details
The Secret Island Dress

Sewn based on my waist size. I did not match the other measurements but since the hips have so much ease and the bust fit can be adjusted within reason by how it’s laced I decided not to grade between sizes.

I accidentally made the straps too short (my bad 🤦‍♀️) and decided I would rather eliminate one of the back loops than redo it.

What is better than Linen? Possibly H**p.

Both are bast fibers and possess most of the same properties but h**p is stronger and even more eco-friendly to grow!

It requires little water, no pesticides and it’s excellent at fixing CO2 and preventing soil erosion.

We have added three new h**p jerseys produced by H**p Fortex one of the worlds premiere eco friendly vertically integrated h**p and yarn fabric producers.

These are all undyed and suitable for dying. In a variety of weights with and without spandex.

A new assortment of fine European linens just landed on the website. Milled in Poland 🇵🇱. These are high quality linens that break in beautifully and become softer with every wash while still holding their structure and character.

This drop includes:
• Mid-weight Heritage Polish linens in ivory, dark navy, faded turquoise, thistle, and rust
• Classic plaids in butter yellow and pale aqua
• Textural herringbone twill
• A striking linen jacquard snake print
• A painterly hydrangea print
• Indigo/ivory stretch linen blend shibori

A really versatile mix for dresses, trousers, shirts, jackets, skirts, and summer tailoring.

We also added a large selection of lightweight cotton yarn dyes earlier this week, very affordable and absolutely worth a look while you’re browsing.
