This panel is a from an Unused roll, so NO seam lines. A lovely smooth flowing hand & drape, subtlle shine to the finish. I love this understated design & colourway, a lovely soft Damson mottled in 2 shades, the design is vey complex & beautiful, varied reed & thatch structures with the classic grasses in the wind pattern in between. Its subtly done as the pattern has no outlines as such, it is the paler of the Damson Shades without the darker overlying shade. Really beautiful & with a lovely rich 'touch' when you handle it. The Condition is good, really as new. The panel is 14 ins wide x 47 ins long. Gorgeous panel, lovely feel, design & colours. Most of my fabrics are sourced from Japan for my own handicraft projects & l sell my excess, so if you see one you like, please bid - it may be the only piece like it l ever list! I do not pretend to be an expert, l am an enthusiast with a love of fabric and want my customers to be happy with their purchase - l would never deliberately mislead. I describe to the best of my ability & am quite 'picky' about pointing out even minor flaws so no nasty surprises. All my fabrics are Vintage and many are taken from Vintage Kimono's no longer usable so recycled for their wonderful fabric. I unpick them very carefully, but by their nature there may be fine pinholes along the seam line & some minor colour change across the seam line - if this is prominent l will comment on it. Vintage fabrics are rarely flawless - and when they are tend to be prohibitively expensive! I do not have the expertise to remove some marks so leave that to those of you who are more expert and for the same reason l do not iron my fabrics prior to sending them out as this may fix discolouration & prevent you using your skills if you choose to do so - though they are rarely badly creased in any case. I describe colours to the best of my ability but perceptions & monitors do vary so if you have precise colour matches in mind, on line buying may not be for you. Having said that these fabrics are wonderful for their uniqueness, character, often classic design & a quality of manufacture not always seen these days. Many are works of Art in their own right & more than repay a bit of creativity in avoiding any flaws.Vintage Patination (by that l mean uniform colour softening NOT mottling or fabric 'rust') adds to their soul & beauty. In these days of Recession what better time to buy these beautiful & low priced fabrics to create something fabulous for your home or small business. My fabrics come from a smoke free home - l do have pets but they are not allowed in my fabric room! These fabrics are perfect for all kinds of handicrafts. I am an honest person, if you have any problem l will always do my best to sort it out if it is a reasonable complaint - l take pride in my fabrics. Just contact me directly. Please do ask questions before bidding - l will be happy to answer them as soon as l am able. Please do read the description & take note of measurements, shipping times etc before bidding to avoid misunderstandings later and feel free to ask questions.SHIPPING - l post out twice a week Priority Airmail & shipping usually takes up to a week, so please allow 10-12 Days to be on the safe side. Australia is occasionally a little longer. However, rarely & inexplicably, shipping to USA has taken up to 12 weeks! Frustrating & worrying for both of us, buyer & seller, so to avoid getting stressed out in the future, l am altering my Shipping arrangements slightly & will give FREE tracking on all parcels with a fabric total value (excluding shipping costs) above US$20. So far l have never had a delay with Tracking & it can be purchased for an additional $5.00 per package for fabric sales below $20. I also offer Reduced Shipping for additional fabrics at US$2.50 per piece provided it is paid for together. Please let me know if you are watching other fabrics & would like to wait for the Combined Shipping offer. l subsidise shipping quite heavily so please do bid & take advantage of this special price.
