Sewing Inspiration & Fabric Picks for Esti

Tilly and the Buttons - Sewing Inspiration & Fabric Picks for Esti

If you're sewing up an Esti co-ord or two this summer, you're in the right place for a healthy dose of fabric and high-street inspiration for your makes!

Ideal for all your favourite spring/summer fabrics, Esti is designed for light- to medium-weight woven fabrics. Try linen or chambray for a more structured silhouette, or viscose (rayon) or Tencel (lyocell) for a drapier look.

First, let's have a peek at the lovely Esti samples...

With so many dreamy linen fabrics available, you can sew an Esti set in every shade.

Like we always say, you can never go wrong with gingham! This linen is ideal for a summer set.

We cannot get enough of this look. Pick a bold print for a statement faux jumpsuit. Then pair off your colourful separates with neutral tops or bottoms for mix-and-match looks.
