Maianenco red fabric by the metre

Maianenco red fabric by the metre is a printed cotton cloth with a classic Provençal pattern: small bouquets of roses, with green foliage and little blue flowers, set in pale medallions on a red ground scattered with dots. A print for tablecloths and cupboard curtains, found in Provençal kitchens for generations.

100% cotton cloth, 152 cm wide, sold by the metre: each unit is a one-metre length across the full 1.52 m width. For a tablecloth for six, allow two metres as a rule; for a cushion or an apron, one metre is enough.

Before cutting, wash the length at 30 or 40 °C: cotton can shrink a little on the first wash, and it is better that this happens before sewing. After that, machine wash and iron on the reverse to protect the print.
