Miss Moresby has created a stunning cityscape in dot and dash paint strokes. The genius is the way Sarah manages to represent the built environment and light in this print. For me, even the proliferation of the green (from mint, to fresh green to forest) throughout the cityscape is a nod to urban greenery. The colour palette is immense, and you’ll find white, soft pinks, mauve and purples, blues, yellows, orange, red, rust, teal and black. A highlight is the intermittent use of a black on white patterns.
The fabric is a beautiful quality Linen | Cotton blend. For me it feels more like a fine linen, but the cotton brings a smooth softness to it. There is a general direction in this design (due to the linear aspect of the cityscape), but it’s a very forgiving print and you will be able to do some economical cutting out if you need to.
Enjoy the brilliance of this talented and celebrated Australian artist.
It's perfect for tops|blouses|shirts, dresses, loose pants, robes etc.

Cloth Care:
We recommend a gentle machine wash or hand washing linen.; It is important not to wring the fabric or garment, so if you are handwashing, roll up in a towel to press out excess water.; To ensure the long life of a garment, don’t tumble dry as this breaks down the fibres. If you do tumble dry the cloth, then do so on a cooler setting. It is preferable to wash inside out. Wash colours separately. Shake out the wet garment and dry flat (or on a hanger) in the shade. Use a warm/hot iron and spot test.
