Photo Post: Fabrics!

The Wednesday and Friday of midterm break took me to Kariakoo and the downtown fabric market. Here are my purchases!

Don't know what I'll use this for yet. Maybe a skirt. Or curtains for the living room. The print is horizontal.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fabric. It's my favorite. I'll have it made into a dress.

I'm going to keep this khanga as a khanga, which means I'll use it as a wrap skirt and different ways.


Another print for a khanga!


I want to try to figure out how to make this work as a bedspread/bed covering.

This fabric is actually quite burgundy, a deeper purple than in the photo. This is to line my curtains...


My curtain fabric!!!!! LOVE. Haven't seen the print anywhere else. Only in one duka (shop) in all of Dar so far.


An upclose photo of my curtain fabric print. The "white" is actually washed out gold from the flash.


I decided my room's color scheme will be purple, orange and gold. Maybe some reds, but probably not.

  1. BB I LOVE these fabrics! The gold-flecked one is just gorgeous! I'm sure you've been scouring for giraffe-printed fabric, huh? ;)
