Sunday Stash #3 - Indian Linen Fabrics

India
Hello,

I've been pretty busy editing and tweaking the shops these days, especially the SEO. It is something that keep us, etsy sellers, be on our toes all the time, like literally. The works include, retaking photos, editing, etc etc. Believe me, have an online shops nowadays is not just putting up a pretty photos! 

Like these linen fabrics which are so very pretty in reality and they are block printed!! The fabric texture is simply gorgeous. 

Check them out! 

Elegant Grey and White Linen Fabric
Linen fiber is very absorbent and clothes made of linen fabrics are very crisp and cool to wear, especially during the hot summer months.

Black and Red  Linen 
Linen is a natural fibre, made from the stalk of a flax plant. Linen is known to be extremely durable. 
Gorgeous Navy Blue. 
Linen fibers are hollow, moving air and moisture naturally. During the colder months, layer linen blankets or a throw to retain heat and warmth from your body. Linen reacts to the season and the body in contact with the cloth to give the best of all circumstances.  Linen is a natural insulator. It is valued for its ability to keep cool in the summer months and trap warmth in colder weather. This is all achieved through the natural properties of the fiber itself. (source)


Grey and Blue 



The gorgeous linen fabrics are practically perfect for anything. You can make a matching dress with your daughters, or a tie for your man or boys!! I made a couple of passport wallets and my clients loved them!!

Fishy Trifold Wallet

Hello,


My latest finish!! Just fresh out of the sewing machine. I love this fish print fabric I got from Indonesia last year (or was it 2 years ago?).  

Fishy fish Women's Wallet

The Japanese linen is really a dream to work with. They simply look beautiful. The pink and blue fishes among the monochrome one made this fabric more attractive. 


as if to say, "It's alright to be different"! 
Yes just be yourself!!


I decided to go with the blue because it matched perfectly with the blue handloom ikat!! 
You can even carry your phone or passport using this wallet. 
I was undecided with the binding then I decided to use the same fish fabric. You know what? I made the bias binding from 10" square and it was more than enough to bind one wallet!! I am so excited!  Because I often think that I need at least a fat quarter! 




The wallet is now available in ETSY SHOP. I still have a bit of the fabric, if you love fish or fishing and would like to make a passport holder instead, I can do that too!

And if you want to try to make the wallet, you can find the pattern at the right panel of this blog or you can get it  in ETSY or CRAFTSY
Go and make special mother's day gift for your Mom this year!

Thank you for stopping by. 

Until then,
Happy Sewing
