These little bundles of six sixteenths of a metre, 25 x 26cm approx., are perfect for mixing in with other scraps for a traditional boro inspired look. Fabrics are five stripes and one check from Kaffe Fassett's shot cottons range for FreeSpirit fabrics (the check is now ‘out of print’).

I love the depth of colour in these woven patterns, and they remind me very much of early C20th cotton kimono linings, where deep blues, greys, and browns were used for men's kimono, with brighter and bolder colours popular for young women's wear, but also the colour effects seen in meisen silk kimono, flat weave fabrics with ikat and shot weave effects, often in brilliant colours, which were the fashion kimono of the day for young women.

I also have this selection listed as a fat quarter bundle.

Compared with sashiko cottons, these are quite lightweight - about as thick as sarashi cotton used for the Olympus sashiko samplers. So if you want to use them for stitching sashiko rather than boro inspired work, I would recommend only using fine 4-ply or 3-ply sashiko threads, and making your stitches slightly shorter.
