The Making of Your Quilted Cotton Bag
Here is the step-by-step transformation of the fabric used for your bag, from the woodblock to the finished product.
Step 1: The Impression
An artisan in a workshop applies a carved teak wood block, previously dipped in deep natural dye, onto the natural cotton fabric. You can see the precise, manual pressure required to transfer the intricate floral pattern.
Step 2: Sun and Setting
After the fabric is printed, it is moved to an outdoor courtyard. The bright sun—essential to the process—dries the fabric naturally, chemically bonding the dye to the fibers to ensure lasting color.
Step 3: Quilting and Creation
The dried, printed fabric returns to the workshop for assembly. An artisan guides the specific fabric through a sewing machine. They stitch the printed layer to a soft internal cotton batting, creating the distinct, textured quilting that defines the bag's structure and soft feel.
