Kimono fabric sample pack made up of 4 different designs of fabric from used kimonos which I have deconstructed for recycling purposes. The pack is ideal for small projects or to add with other fabrics for larger projects, also makes a great gift for a special friend who loves sewing or using recycled fabric. These narrow ones are most commonly use for scarf making.
Longer lengths maybe available please feel free to contact me for enquiry on availability.
For you information: The fabric comes from the collar/lapel section of kimonos and is usually half the width of the normal panels from the main body of the kimono. There are 4 pieces in total that make up this section of a kimono - 1 piece is short (just under 100 cm) then two pieces the same length (over 100 cm) then one piece really long (nearly 200 cm).
Details:

Narrow pack - Kimono fabric - 4 designs - Peach, cream, green, blue, red
- Kimono fabric is quite narrow compared to normal fabric which is sold be the metre, this is because its made purely for kimono construction. Unlike western clothes which require lots of pattern pieces and styles, kimono are constructed much more simply and only the collar requires cutting out all other pieces are just cut to length and sewn together. Please check you are happy with the width before you purchase.
- With vintage or secondhand fabrics on some occasions you may find a small imperfection which is to be expected with these types of fabrics. If it was a significant imperfection I would mention it in the listing.
- Items are not washable, please consult professional dry cleaners for advice if required or do a test sample before washing.
