African Waxed Prints

I found these at Abakhan Fabrics in the Northern Quarter.  Very reasonably priced, loads of patterns to choose from.  They are just like those used in the displays at MOSI.  I think that Tootal's South African Division still exists in Manchester, but I could be wrong ... I always remember seeing it from the car as a little girl ...


Anyone for tea?
