On the back of last week’s Cora Top release, here’s a little blog post showing how Silva added this simple & impactful hand stitched detail to hers.
After the original stitching (in matching thread) was machine sewn around the pockets and centre front seams, she used a silver grey topstitch thread to hand sew along every second stitch.
In these photos, Silva is wearing her Cora Top with our Robbie Pants, both made in Bedford Pine Washed Linen (you can view all the other beautiful Bedford colours in our online fabric store).
We’ve previously shown this stitching feature in two other blo ..read more
