Let it Snow
Although I’m not a big fan of winter weather, there is something so very appealing about the quiet of a snowfall - plus the fun that only a good snow can bring. Show both sides of the season with this pair of smalls featuring several patterned bands. Primarily stitched in white on the blue fabric with accents of winter greens, you can add the snowflakes, heart button, and any other embellishment where you like.
Note regarding the linen used in the models: Not all retailers have easy access to this particular linen - but they are happy to work with you on alternates. Other dyers and manufacturers have shades of blue in their line - just be sure there is good contrast with your white stitching. Also, this would also look great on a raw or neutral linen for a more prim look.
