Fabric of the Week: Shweshwe Colourway 491
Our colour of the week is a shweshwe fabric colourway. On our website, we call this colourway Circus. It is a combination of blue, yellow and pink and is Colourway 491 of Dagama textiles shwehshwe collection. A cheery option for many sewing or crafting projects. It is also a great choice for children too.
We currently have it in 6 different patterns and will be adding more to the selection over the next few months.
So far we have seen the lovely Grace make it into the Wiksten Shift Dress. We love the play on the direction of the waves.
Have you used this shweshwe colourway in any of your projects? If so, do share a link so we can have a gander! Enjoy the rest of your week.
