Cloth Edit has a wonderful selection of soft canvas cottons, perfect for summer weight pants, shorts, vests, loose jackets, overalls and jumpsuits, A-line or straight skirts, summer dresses and simple tops. Don't let the 'canvas' in the product tile lead you astray. These are only 225gsm, and they have a lovely soft handle and some nice drape (in rounded folds, away from the body). You wouldn't want a lot of gathers, but some soft gathering on sleeves or a waist would still work well with this cloth. This cloth is also perfect for bag-making due the substantial weight and tight weave.
'Tuscan Escape' ~ This dreamy print features a beautiful villa, surrounded by gardens. You'll see four gorgeous women enjoying the Italian summer jaunt; picnicking, picking pears, or just lazing in the summer sun. I adore the inclusion of blue and white porcelain (both the planter, and also in the picnicking scene), and the lovely patterns on the clothes.
There are two colourways of this playful design:
Pastel (featuring soft pinks, soft denim, pistachio, blushing peach, pale, muted yellow, alongside spots of darker greens and brown)
Vibrant (which includes brighter greens [from pale to darker], coral red, lavender, apricot, cornflower blue and a sunshine yellow).
