Embroidery Add On
$7.50A PDF pattern for the front panel of the Honey dress.
The design is by Evie May Adams, and the embroidery for this sample was beautifully stitched by Becky Hogg.
For our version we used No 712 DMC Stranded Cotton x 2 with a No 7 embroidery needle. There are various methods you can use for transferring the design, which we’ve listed in the download. For our version we printed the design onto tracing paper, then covered the tracing paper in lots of layers of tailor’s chalk, this way you just draw over the reverse on the cloth and it pushes the chalk onto the cloth.

In Theory Indian Cotton
$29.00A striking Bagru block print.
Bagru, a small village in Rajasthan, 35 kilometres from Jaipur, is known for its hand block printing utilising traditional processes and natural colours. Bagru prints tend to be more simple with limited colours in comparison to Sanganer block prints which are more colourful with finer detail. Block printing is still practiced by the Chippa community, who have lived here for over 400 years.
In Theory is suitable for tops, loose fitting trousers and shorts, and dresses and skirts with fullness.
Traditional hand block and dye techniques are used to make this wonderful rural cloth. Indian cloths are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
