"Red Linings" Cotton Bundle

This listing is for several yards of red cotton lining salvaged from many different kimono over the years.   The piece sizes differ, the red is fairly consistent but there is some variation in the shades of red.  There are approximately ten yards of 14" wide fabric.   Great for re-use as linings or backings, patchwork, or practice with boro or sashiko stitching. When we find vintage (circa 1950s but could be older or newer by two decades) Japanese kimono or haori in less-than-sellable condition, we salvage what we can and offer it to artisans, quilters, crafters, and designers for project work. So the fabric has been previously sewn and though we carefully deconstruct the kimono, previous seam lines, as well as minor blemishes, may need to be worked around or trimmed away. The inspiring designs, hand work, and the ageless beauty of vintage Japanese textiles make all the extra work so worthwhile.
