Meadow is part of a small series based around the idea of the late summer meadow. We are so lucky in the village, our Parish Council plough the verges and sow wild flowers which are a riot of colour at the moment. Rusts, reds and corals all buzzing with insects.
Using upcycled linen her skirt is embroidered with a wild flower border and teamed with Wild Flower Vintage by Liberty Riviera Collection.
She has a piece of carnelian to her heart with a generous amount of my dried camomile for a subtle fragrance. In keeping with the tone of the Liberty fabrics all their tulle underskirts and bloomers are cream not white. I just loved making her and working all the embroidery.
These little meadow mice have pinafores for a change. Over the upcycled linen I have made each a Liberty pinafore from the Riviera Collection. So sweet to wear and a horror to turn when stitching! The pattern pieces are so small you have to wrestle with the bodice to make it turn. Thank goodness for haemostats.
That said I really like the combination of the little plain dress with the patterned pinafore. Welcome to Lea and Maedwe.
Little Mead makes up the trio of this set in his plus fours and silk cravat.
I love the burnt orange of Mead's silk scarf, such a lovely colour. Teamed with a Liberty print waistcoat and tweedy cotton plus fours he is a smart late summer gentleman. With carnelian to his heart and camomile in his stuffing he reflects the late summer blooms all around us. Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine while it lasts xx
