These little bundles of six sixteenths of a metre are perfect for mixing in with other scraps for a traditional boro inspired look. I chose Tilda chambray fabrics which reminded me of some of the vintage cotton linings in early C20th meisen silk kimono from my collection, like the one in the last photo. The colours were inspired by the sugared almonds that always used to be a feature of our Christmas 'nibbles' when I was a child. I loved their pretty pastel colours, but wasn't too impressed with their flavour. I haven't eaten one for years!These are very smooth, fine cottons, ideal for patchwork or boro inspired pieces. They are a little too fine for sashiko, unless perhaps you used the 3-ply fine sashiko thread,
and a smaller sashiko needle.This listing is for ONE mini boro bundle, but several are shown in the first photo to give you a better view of the fabrics.
I'll be adding more bundles soon. It is easier (and more fun for me!) to make these bundles in one-off batches, rather than trying to repeat the same fabric assortment, so once these are gone, I may not repeat them.100% cotton

NB - international shipping* is temporarily disabled. New shipping rates by weight will be coming soon!
*EU shipping can only resume when the EU simplifies its VAT regulations on mail orders. Please complain to your MEP to try to change the regs for small non EU businesses! We can't calculate, charge and remit the different amounts of VAT to all 27 EU countries four times a year, when we are one person businesses. It is too much admin and too expensive to employ an EU based agent as currently required.
