Portrait miniature of an unknown woman by George Engleheart, British, 1780-1789
5 yards by 44 inches of gorgeous hand block printed cotton! There is more than enough to make that saucy Safavid Persian dress, Ottoman Turkish entari or Regency day dress! Block printed fabrics have been made and used for hundreds if not thousands of years. This is a very soft and finely woven cotton, almost a batiste. Wash in cold water, dry in a warm dryer before cutting. I haven't had any of these fabrics run or fade, they have all washed and sewn up beautifully! Occasionally a piece of fabric will have a left over dye odor, washing with regular detergent will usually remove the smell. You can also add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse water. The cottons with a white background let the light through as you can see in some of the pictures. Small dye/printing flaws are expected in hand blocked/rolled fabric. Colors: Green, Purple, White All pictures show true on my monitor. As each monitor is different, yours may not show the true color. If you have any questions, please convo me and I will try to describe the true colors using examples that will (hopefully) make sense! I will combine shipping, any overages for shipping will be refunded! Two pieces of this fabric will cost a bit more than $11.00 to ship within the mainland USA. Orders for more than 10 yards can be shipped in a USPS medium flat rate box for about $17.00 and I can stuff up to 35 yards of fabric into that sized box!
