Indian block printed fabric

I have a great selection of fabric scraps for sale in my Etsy shop. Most of them have been bought on my travels and this fabulous selection of block printed cottons was bought on a trip to India. Each piece is a has been hand printed and I've combined a palette of oranges and yellows that work really well together.

Each fabric piece is large enough to use on a small crafting project and could go towards making a quilt or could be used on small sewing projects such as bags and purses, or even cushion covers.

I love this simple chevron design in orange and red. The block print style of it means the lines are uneven in places, which gives it more movement.

Stylised yellow ochre leaves sit on a burgundy background to create colour contrast.

A lovely geo print in shades of yellow and ochre.

These fabrics work well together, with the colours complimenting each other. It would make a fabulous quilt or cushion cover, with the pieces sewn together and then stitched with a kantha stitch (running stitch) on top.

All fabric pieces are packaged in a plastic envelope and gift wrapped in pink tissue paper. If you are sending it as a gift, it can be sent straight to its recipient with an optional gift message included.

 

Sewing gift ideas

 I've created the perfect gift for a sewing lover! These fabulous pouches are great for using as a haberdashery pouch where you can store threads, needles and scissors.

If you are a sewer on-the-move these pouches make a great travel bag for all your sewing essentials. This zipper pouch is lightly padded and is lined in a blue cotton fabric. Both pouches are machine washable.

This print includes cotton reels, buttons with pins and needles in a bright colour palette,

This scissor zipper pouch is also padded and is lined in a bright pink and white cotton polka dot fabric. It can be used as a handbag organiser or pencil case as well as a place to store haberdashery items or your favourite scissors.

I'm loving this scissor print which includes scissors of various sizes with multi colour handles in a pleasingly bright colour palette.
