Andover | patchwork fabric | Glaze III | Sunbleached

Like the sky just before dawn.
"Sunbleached" from the Glaze III collection by Libs Elliott for Andover is a delicate, faded blue with soul – somewhere between mist and denim, with a hint of ice crystal. The white speckle texture looks like morning dew on stone or the first glimmer of a summer day after a rain shower.

Thanks to its printed linen look, "Sunbleached" brings subtle movement and depth to your sewing projects – without appearing restless. As a faux-solid, this fabric is excellent as a blender or a main feature in simple designs with character. And frankly: who needs plain solids when you can have "Sunbleached"?
