Summer and Madras!

 Well I suppose Summer is not that far off , though it is almost always summer here in Florida.
   For me it has always been a time to break out the great fun colors and of course madras and Patch madras , the super soft Indian cotton and those bright and muted plaids simply define summer in some ways for those who enjoy classic traditional clothing. Madras is not just plaid but refers to a kind of light weight woven cotton from this region of India  the soft hand , slight imperfections and melding of colors all define this fantastic fabric. In the old days the non colorfast dyes bled together in the plaids when washed to create a even more stunning look.
  I am going to be offering some great new patterns for Bermuda bags , skirts  , belts headbands and even  a classic custom sportcoat/ cocktail jacket 3 button front undarted , perfect for summer parties! All these Items are in stock and of my own designs plus many more .
