“I HAVE decorated this design with vintage-inspired flower motifs; the Fair Isle pattern has delicate colour blending in the background (pale apricot and light yellow), paired with stronger pink and blue flower motifs with green shamrocks in between,” explains Mary Henderson. “The garment has a subtle A-line shape, provided by corrugated striped side panels and split side hems - I wanted to create a layering piece to wear with dresses, T-shirts or blouses.”
