Valerie – Yarn dyed embroidery bows fabric

95% Cotton 5% Linen
180gsm 1
50cm.

This playful shirting fabric pairs crisp sky-blue and white yarn-dyed pinstripes with a deep red bow embroidery scattered across the surface. The embroidery is evenly spaced and directional, giving a whimsical feel without overwhelming the classic stripe. The base has a fine twill weave, offering a gentle diagonal texture and a slightly structured drape.

It’s a medium-weight fabric with a soft, breathable handle thanks to its 95% cotton, 5% linen blend. It holds its shape well, making it ideal for structured shirts, shirt dresses, or even playful summer co-ords. The linen adds a dry touch and slight texture, while the cotton gives it softness and ease of wear. It’s matte overall with just a touch of natural texture from the weave.

This fabric feels crisp but not stiff, and is opaque — no lining needed. The overall look is polished but fun, perfect for spring/summer pieces that need both charm and functionality.
