Ref No: OBF0089

Japanese obi fabric from a used obi which I have unpicked/deconstructed for recycling purposes.

Each piece is made up of patterned fabric and lining fabric on the back. The interfacing/stiffener has been removed to reduce the weight for postage. The pattern fabric is attached to the lining by two seams down the sides so you could remove the back and use for another project. Both or one end will be cut so will have a raw edge.

Obi is the sash/belt worn around the waist of a kimono and can be 4 metre's long with widths around 30 cm. There are many different types of obi but I mainly sell Fukuro or Maru fabric unless stated otherwise.

Fukuro Obi are generally made up of two pieces of fabric sewn together like a very long table runner with a plain or pattern section in the middle simular to the reverse fabric.

Maru obi are usually one piece folded in half and sewn down one side so you get patterned fabric on both sides.

Unlike kimono fabric which is lightweight, obi fabric is much more firm and has a luxurious look which would be ideal for home decor projects, like cushions and table runners, also handbags.

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.
