Stitch A Day 2017, Day 12

Stitch A Day 2017, Day 12 by Carlyn Clark. Overdyed vintage Laura Ashley cotton 

Once again I've overdyed a small scrap of cotton I had. This is an old Laura Ashley print from the 80's. Laura Ashley was one of the first designers that got me hooked on prints. Although most of her prints seem a bit dated to me now, a quick dip in the indigo vat makes them work here.  The book "Laura Ashley Style" is a great resource for understanding her use of traditional historic fabrics and seeing how they're interpretted for modern applications.
