'Pleat Stripe Indigo' Art Cotton Print by Kim Eichler-Messmer, 44" Wide, By the Yard # 1456

Quilting cotton with a hand-dyed, pleated, shibori look, designed by Textile, Quilting, Dyeing and Shibori Artist and Instructor KimEichler-Messmer. Brilliant! Digitally printed on high quality quilting cotton from Pakistan, using images of her hand dyed shibori and other textile art pieces. Kim says: “When I was first learning how to dye fabric in college, I was amazed by how many different patterns and textures I could make through the process of shibori – the Japanese art of folding, tying, wrapping, or otherwise manipulating fabric to resist dye. The love and fascination has never left me. No two fabrics are ever the same. This collection of fabrics is taken directly from my dye studio and some of my favorite fabrics that I have dyed.” She calls this one Pleat Stripe, Indigo. It’s digitally printed on smooth, tightly woven, mid-weight quilting cotton, 44/45″ wide. The light background isn’t all true white, it blends from warm off-white to palest peachy-white. We’re in love with the hand-woven, hand-dyed, new-and-old-world look of this 100% Cotton from Kim. Good for shirts, tops and other clothing, bags and other accessories, pillows, quilting, curtains and anything else you’d use quality quilting cotton for. Machine wash cold, delicate, tumble dry low.
