A useful pack of 4 fat quarters of patchwork weight 100% cotton fabrics - two from Japanese manufacturer Sevenberry’s ‘Sākuru’ collection, and two from Debbie Maddy’s ‘Kawa’ collection for Moda. These mid indigo blue and white fabrics are printed to look like traditional Japanese shibori (tie dye - an expensive fabric today) - and they do look like the real thing! Ideal for patchwork, wearables, boro inspired work, bag linings, lightweight home textiles, etc. this is a versatile fabric. Beautiful as a lightweight sashiko coordinate too.

Written サークル 'sākuru'* in Japanese, the name of this collection is simply the Japanese way of saying the English word 'circle' (try saying out loud!) and one of the designs included here features tie dye circles, in the karamatsu (larch) pattern. I've also included the wonderful asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern from this range. *A lot of Japanese words get written online without the long accent over the vowels, so you may find this elsewhere as 'sakuru'!

Debbie Maddy works in shibori to create original designs inspired by Japanese traditions, and the two featured here are pretty little star like flowers and a bold design with gingko leaves falling into a stream.

The 'Kawa' range is now discontinued and I can't get any more, so this is the last chance to buy these beautiful designs!

This is not natural indigo and the colour should not run, but I would still recommend washing finished items with a colour catcher or dye grabber, just to be extra careful.
