Fabric of the Week: Indigo Leaf Adire
Fabric fun, fabric friday. Today we have a batik as the fabric of the week. The Indigo Leaf Adire is a handmade batik from Nigeria. This type of batik is known as ‘Adire Alabere’ as the unique designs are created by stitching white cloth before dyeing the fabric to create these beautiful rich organic patterns.
The fabric comes in a 5 Yard length and is made from 100% cotton.
