Here's a shot of a vintage navy blue Kettle Creek Canvas shirtdress that I'm refreshing for #WipWednesday . Anybody remember them? It needed colour so all additions, including buttons are bright and multicoloured. I've changed the buttons, removed patch pockets, added belt loops, inset side pockets and a back kickpleat, lined the belt, and pinned on whimsical embellishments. Just started the multicoloured embroidery on the collar, more embroidery to come.

I really loved designing and stitching this black snake, coiled in a big peony. Your eyes aren't failing you there, I did use gold metallics and it looks so good in person!

Kihada.
This yellow comes from wood chips — not a synthetic dye.
Same slow process, small batches, and a lot of testing to get it to this tone.
I love how it sits on Lugana — warm without going neon, soft without going flat.

@swachter Ah, thank you. With that name to go on, I can see about doing something similar myself.
