Our advice

• Topstitch pockets in denim or blue canvas: the contrast with brick red gives an immediate workwear style.
• Embroider initials or small front stitch designs by doubling the thread, on plain linen or cotton.
• Reds are sensitive to light fibres: cut the thread flush, as the ends that stick out can be seen on a dark background.
• For a patchwork, use this red in a single square per row to give rhythm to the whole.

For a cohesive effect, pair it with an ecru or navy blue fabric and a matching cotton bias.
