Barandello stripes red fabric by the metre

Barandello stripes fabric by the metre, a fine pink floral print on a red ground. The pattern is arranged in bands running lengthways, which suits it to borders, tablecloth trims, curtains or Provençal skirts, but it can also be used all over for a cushion or a table runner.

Cotton cloth, 100% cotton, 152 cm wide, sold in lengths of 1 m by 1.52 m: one unit ordered is one metre, cut in a single piece. The design is one of the indiennes (printed cottons) made by Les Olivades in Saint-Étienne-du-Grès, near Arles.

Before cutting, give the length a first wash at 40 °C: cotton shrinks a little the first time through the machine, by around 2 to 3%. Avoid the tumble dryer and iron on a medium setting, on the reverse to protect the print.
