Description:

A unique floral hand block print in tan, red and green on a light tan background. Made using traditional hand block and dye techniques from Jaipur, Rajasthan. It would be perfect for some Winnie pyjamas, a lightweight Ellsworth shirt or even an Edie with a voluminous sleeve.

Marari Block is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam and Heron.

  • 112cm wide.
  • 2.5oz, 87gsm.
  • 100% summer weight organic cotton.
  • Country of origin; India.
  • As our Indian cloths are handmade, sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave or print, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
  • This fabric is hand dyed. For the couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will fix the dye to prevent it from running.
  • As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
  • Thread match Gutermann Sew All 215.

*please be aware that the colours may not be a complete match with the Marari quilted version, we would always recommend ordering a sample.

The Sanda - Bound Edges
The Sanda - Bound Edges

Our Sanda pattern is a perfect pairing for our quilted fabric. We have created a pattern hack to make an unlined jacket or coat with bound edges. You can find the instructions here. Note you can use this tutorial to make a Sanda with a bound edge from any fabric eg canvas etc, it doesn't have to be quilted cloth. 

Tash is wearing a size 10 (she’s an 8) in our Cumin Quilted Dry Oilskin paired with the Mathilde skirt. We would recommend sizing up 1 or 2 sizes as the quilted fabric takes up more space. Note the Quilted Dry Oilskin will give you a very sculptural silhouette (hence the need to size up) espcially in the jacket version as it's cropped, and this may not be to everyone's taste. Our quilted Indian cotton is more soft than the quilted oilskin so will not stand so far away from the body. 

This pattern hack would also be perfect for our Quilted Indian Cotton. Experiment with matching or contrasting binding.
