Interested in DIY/making your own?

We're pulling together the handwoven fabrics we've been collecting over the years -- ready for your sewing and textile projects:
  • metres of organic, undyed, textured silk and finer silks for clothing
  • 2m lengths of black cotton from Laos with beautiful, elaborately woven borders - perfect for a skirt or other project
  • 2 rolls of unique fabric made from the bark of the Yaboi tree!
  • smaller pieces of silks and cottons for quilting, cushion covers, any textile project in your imagination 
Contact us if you're interested. We're happy to visit your quilt guild too with our travelling fabric show!

Here's a small sampling of what we have. See our SHOP page for more lengths of silk fabric.
