Warm Winter Collection - Quilted Block Print in Elderberry

Who's ready for a cozy cup of hot tea and a winter full of dreamy quilted garments?? And the best part: you don't have to quilt the fabric and you can get straight into sewing your garment. My team of artisans in India did all of the hard work for us and beautiful hand printed this exclusive fabric for the shop. The Warm Winter Collection features vertical lines (0.75 inches apart) of stitches for a clean and modern look. I am picturing cozy coats, pullovers, and dare I say it: quilted pants?! 

The weight is substantial but light enough to make a sweater, light jacket, vest and so on. It's lighter in weight than the quilted jacquards for example. 

Elderberry is quite special as it is the only one in the collection that was dyed with botanical indigo.

Block printing dyes have a slight smell that will fade with washing but if you would like to speed up the process, include a cup of white vinegar when you pre-wash. You can also help to "set the dyes" if you want less fading by throwing in a handful of salt.
