Five Favourite Things with Sarah Foot of Thread the Word

Some of you may have seen (and maybe even bought pieces from!) the collaboration we did with Thread The Word earlier this year on a collection of embroidered vintage white shirts. Each one was embellished with her whimsical stitching for a little something extra that you can guarantee no one else will have on. Sarah Foot, the hands behind Thread The Word stitching, started out her career in the interiors world and later product development of homeware, gifts and stationery. Having always had a passion for textiles, collecting them from around the world wherever she went, Sarah stacked them away with plans to use them in projects that had to fit in around her full time job.

New In - Antique Folklore Dresses ❤️

They are finally all here, the antique and vintage folklore dresses with hand embroidery sourced from Ukraine. All so unique and beautiful, handpicked for their different materials and characteristics. From soft cotton and thin linen to a thicker hemp, they are all works of art and perfect to wear in the summer, or layered over a jumper with jeans in the winter.

For the Love of Vyshyvanka

Vyshyvanka is the name for embroidered shirts and dresses in Ukrainian and Belarusian national costumes, and is perhaps the most loved item in the Ukrainian wardrobe. Ukrainian vyshyvanka is distinguished by the vivid and unique embroidery, and although present all across the country, the embroidery varies depending on the region of origin, as each local style has their own technique with particular patterns and colours.
