I'm so excited about this project, and so honored to have been asked to sew a sample for the fabric collection release!
This project is a celebration of the inaugural Beenanza x Stash collaboration, Drift & Bloom, a stunning fabric collection designed in Burlington, Vermont and hand block printed in Bagru, India.
Long live Beenanza x Stash!
Drift & Bloom, designed by talented artist Bethany of Beenanza and available exclusively at Stash, was printed in two colorways and two designs, perfect for mixing and matching.
The prints are on an organic cotton base that's lightweight with a tight weave and a soft hand.
I just adore the texture and depth of the prints- they have such a beautiful, handmade quality to them.
For my project, I chose the geometric yet organic Jellyfish in Sunset, a vibrant blue complemented by a dusky, peachy pink.
I paired it with the romantic, climbing floral vine print, Wispy Littles, also in Sunset, the peachy pink.
I opted to go with a tried and true pattern that I thought would show off the prints and lend itself to color/print blocking: the Sew House Seven Remy Raglan. You can't go wrong with this pattern.
I cut a size 20 from the curvy size range, same as last time I made the Remy, although this time I graded down to 18 at the hip, which worked out great.
I made version #1, the plain front, and chose the dramatic gathered sleeves.
I'm so delighted with my Remy top in these beautiful fabrics. Such a special garment!
I can't wait to see what Beenanza x Stash comes out with next.
