Siena Flat Sheet Set - Blu
A sheet set: one flat sheet with two matching cuffed pillowcases, in white 400 thread count long-staple cotton sateen, with the Siena geometric border embroidered in tonal blue along the sheet header and the pillowcase cuffs.
Description
A sheet set of one flat sheet and two matching cuffed pillowcases. The Blu border shows where it is meant to: along the header when the sheet is turned down over the quilt, and along the opening cuff of each pillowcase.
Blue against white is the version of Siena that carries across a room. It gives a plain bed a single point of colour without committing the whole bed to it, and it sits comfortably under the Siena quilted cover or on its own.
About the embroidery
The embroidery is worked in colourfast viscose rayon satin stitch.
On flat sheets and cuffed pillowcases the embroidered panel is cut, embroidered and folded before it is sewn to the piece, so the border is placed against a known edge rather than stitched into a finished sheet. On tailored pillowcases the border is worked into the face and framed by the flange stitching.
Iron the embroidery on the reverse at a medium temperature. Avoid optical brighteners and fabric softeners.

Fabric & construction
The embroidered header
The header is cut as its own panel, 270mm deep, embroidered while it is flat, then folded in half and sewn onto the sheet body. Working this way means the stitch is placed against a known edge rather than a moving one, so the geometric border sits parallel to the fold on every sheet rather than drifting by a few millimetres. The pillowcase cuffs are made the same way.
The blue border
In blue the Siena geometry reads as pattern rather than as texture, so it carries across a room instead of revealing itself close up. It is an interwoven repeat rather than a simple line, which gives the header depth against the white ground and stops it flattening into a stripe when the sheet is folded over the quilt. The satin stitch is colourfast viscose rayon, so the blue will not migrate into the white cloth in the wash.
The header is embroidered flat, before the sheet exists. It is the only way the border lands in the same place on every one.
