Fat Quarter : Mending in Fern on 100% Hemp by Maze & Vale

Hand printed in the Fibresmith warehouse, this offwhite 100% hemp fabric features the Maze & Vale ‘Mending’ design in custom mixed Fern (a lively mid green) ink. This precut fat quarter, measuring 50cm x 66cm (19.7 x 26″), is perfect for small projects like bags, pouches and cushion covers. Hemp behaves similarly to linen so is a long lasting cloth that will soften with washing and use.

Printed using solvent free, non toxic, environmentally friendly inks in custom mixed colours. Screen printed by hand with great care, there may be very slight variations in the designs but, if present, these will be minor and are part of the natural charm of handprinted fabric.

Mending is inspired by sashiko, the ancient Japanese mending technique, which uses beautifully uniform, thick stitches to repair worn areas of cloth. My representation is more haphazard, less planned, and embraces the beauty of overlapping marks and the new shapes they create.

Wash in cold on the gentle cycle with mild detergent. Hang dry in the shade or tumble dry on low. Iron on reverse or use a pressing cloth to iron ink side.
