Hand Printed Cotton Fabric
From Heritage Trading Company
This fabric's unusually complex design, with several different patterns, required an exceptionally large number of blocks, as well as extra time and skill to complete.

The village of Bagru is one of Rajasthan’s historic block printing centers. Craftsmen use hand carved wooden blocks to stamp designs onto the cloth. In keeping with Bagru’s centuries’ old tradition, this fabric was printed with all natural dyes.

If you like the style of Provence in Southern France, you'll be interested to know that these block prints are "Les Indiennes," the imported Indian cottons that inspired the French to develop their famous Provencal fabrics, beginning in the 17th century. Cotton prints from India were also popular in Britain and America.
With their historic background, block print fabrics may be just what you need for your SCA, LARP, Renaissance Faire, Civil War, reenactor, or other reproduction, period costumes. Or use them for period home furnishings.

Using hand-carved wooden blocks, a resist, and a multi-step dying process, a traditional motif was hand printed onto this 100% cotton fabric. Natural dyes were used in this piece. |
|
| Motif Colors: | Red, Burgundy, Black, Green, Yellow, |
| Background Color: | White |
| Fabric Width: | 44 Inches (1.1 Meters) |
| Fabric Length: | 2½ Yards (2.3 Meters) |
| Fabric: | Light Weight Cotton |

This fabric is brand new, not "vintage." In other words, it's not used, damaged, or dirty. It is, however, folk art. Because of the way it's produced, the pattern is not perfectly uniform and there may be some errant spots of dye. If your project needs greater precision, you'll be better off with machine printed textiles. |
