Purl Exclusive! Custom Fabric from India

jaipur15.jpgWe've just received some very special fabric custom made just for us by Globalweave Textiles in India. Bright pink, rich saffron, and clear turquoise embroidery embellish one collection, while traditional block printing in gold shimmers through the second collection.  These tall bolts of all-natural linen and cotton are a beautiful addition to our shop; they're perfect for all kinds of sewing and quilting projects.

We couldn't wait to make something special with this softly draping all-natural fabric.  Visit the Jaipur Tote Bag Project Journal for the free pattern and details on how to make this pretty tote. If we can't go to India this weekend, at least we can carry a bit of it around with us.
