Our advice

• On an ecru linen, take a thread of a lighter tone than the fabric: the seam is less visible.
• To assemble light cottons in patchwork, make a backstitch of a few stitches at the beginning and end of each line.
• Use it as a basting wire for any light fabric: no color is likely to mark the weft.

Pair it with cotton lace and pearly buttons for soft lingerie or layette. A white cotton bias goes well with this warm tone.
