Gentian on Pink is a lovely ditsy print, vintage, shabby chic floral cotton with a super soft washed feel and handle. This appealingly simple design features rows of uniform florals that look like purple/blue Gentian flowers which grow in the Alpine meadows.  Soft, pretty pink sits in the background and is accentuated with dark grey detailing to produce a simple but pleasing vintage style.

Gentian on Pink is soft, stable, cool, boasts a malleable soft drape quality that will form pretty gathers, neat pin-tucks and will form crisp collars and cuffs (with the help of a little light iron-on interfacing). Its soft hand (almost washed & worn) will suit both smart and casual styles. Shirt weight fabrics are a sewing room staple whether you're a crafter or a seamstress.

Gentian on Pink will make fabulous shirts and blouses (the ones you never want to take off) also imagine traditional pyjamas and nightdresses with coordinating blue piped collars and monogrammed pockets. Create the sweetest traditional babies rompers and pretty dresses, add some smocking, applique or ric-rac trim for extra cuteness. Fashion yourself stylish summer dresses; shirtdress style, fit & flare or simple tea dress styles with pretty gathered skirts. Simple T-shirt style tops, smock style tops like the Sagebrush Top (by Friday Pattern Co) or the Peasant Top & Tie Shirt Pattern (by Sew Different).
