This super thick striped 'chore coat' (work coat) fabric from the Honey collection is designed by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society for Moda, in the Sunset colourway - a gorgeous rainbow of colours. Woven from threads that are spun with a slightly variable thickness, with a white warp and striped weft, it has a lovely hand woven look, and it would be so easy to use the weave to line up your sashiko stitches - or even do a fine version of kogin (I would suggest using a medium sashiko thread for stitching if you want to do kogin details on these, as the regular kogin threads I sell will be a little too thick). It would also make an excellent foundation fabric for stitching appliqué style boro inspired pieces. It has a soft handle and drapes nicely for a thick, warm fabric.

I have two other chore coat fabrics (a solid and a stripe) available as yardage, plus a fat quarter bundle which includes six more.

A lovely detail of all these fabrics is their lime yellow selvedges - something I would want to feature in a boro inspired work I think (top edge of a bag?)

NB - limited quantities, and I can't reorder this. Once it is gone, it's gone. As these were the last few the wholesalers had, I managed to get them at a special price for you too.
 
110cm wide.

NB - sold in half metre (50cm) lengths, so please order '2' for one metre, '3' for 1 1/2m etc. Fabric will be sent as one continous length.
 
100% cotton

Woven in India

I advise preshrinking all Indian cottons before use - just spray with water thoroughly and iron dry, to avoid any unexpected shrinkage.
