The inspiration behind our dahlia linen tablecloths...
You may be able to tell from the name, but we were inspired by purple dahlias to create these pretty and luxurious linen tablecloths. We wanted to capture the entrancing colour of the flower in an item that can be loved, cherished and used for generations whilst supporting our zero waste ethos. The creation of the dahlia inspired botanical dye came after the blush and the honey and we knew that all three colours would work beautifully together. Keep an eye out for the newest additions to our botanically and naturally dyed homewares…
Our dahlia linen tablecloths - The story behind the art...
We have a beautiful little garden bed outside our workshop which is bursting at the seams with bright and colourful flowers, including a selection of purple dahlias. Every day, they make the workshop and studio a little bit brighter and happier and so we knew that you’d love to see that gorgeous ‘dahlia purple’ colour inside your home too! We’ve chosen to base these linen tablecloths off the dahlia blooms because the never ending layers of petals that they have remind us of how millions of people can come together in the same way and create something that is inspiring, empowering and beautiful and that together, all of our tiny actions equate to a huge and powerful difference.
Wondering how our linen tablecloths are created?
Because we use natural and botanical dyes for our Dahlia Linen Tablecloths, we first need to create the dye inside our workshop before the tablecloths can be designed. For this particular shade of purple, we use blueberries and beetroot skins which have been sourced from our local fruit shop so that we can save additional waste from ending up in landfill and utilise a valuable but often dismissed, resource. We also use the outer and unusable leaves of red cabbages to increase the vibrancy of the dye and then place all ingredients into our large pot (which has been purchased from a second-hand shop in Brisbane).
The dye takes about 2 hours to get to the desired colour shade and then we allow the organic linen and pieces of 100% recycled fabric to soak in the mixture for an average of 12 hours. By allowing the fabric to soak for such a long period of time, the colour can properly bond to it and create beautifully coloured pieces as the finished product. After the soaking process, we hang the fabric outside our workshop to naturally dry in the sunshine and forest breeze and then eventually bring it back into the studio to begin sewing.
Each edge is carefully hemmed and each loose thread removed before the tablecloths are ready to be folded and stored on our workshop shelves. We also ensure that the whole creation process is completely zero waste by composting the blueberries, red cabbage leaves and beetroot skins and using the leftover dye to water the native Australian trees around our workshop. On top of this, no textile waste is created in the process as every little spare piece has been incorporated into our designs through the hemming process.
