Jelly Roll

Jelly Roll
I love Bali Batik and I'll make  Quilt with this Bali Batik Jelly Roll.
Let's see...
This is the Jelly roll...


Let's unroll it...


and...  one more


Now I will work on the brown one.
Someone wants me to make a quilt with brown color... I guess I need to train my eyes not only to the bright like I used to like... but also look to the subtle color of the earth...

Calm... that's what I feel.

I'll do the bargello with a modern twist...
Aha... how will it turns out...? Let me do the design first... ok... then the sewing... then the cutting... and sewing again....
Wait and see..... ;)

Batik Lawas Quilt

Old Batik is popular now among Batik lovers in Indonesia. It is a piece of Batik cloth that were worn and was collected from a small village especially through Java island. The color of old Batik or as we called them Batik Lawas are mostly in the shades of Brown.  They are truly loved by people who likes antique and ethnic stuff.

I like this old Batik too... it gives it's own charm. 
I have a blouse from batik Lawas and a Patchwork Bed cover.. which I don't use as a Bed cover.. I 'll do a little project instead. like dolls and pillow cover..or even a bag.

This is Bed cover made from old batik cloth... without any batting. without any quilting. They just pieced the square for top and bottom.

and I made necklace from Batik Lawas like this...



Love to see how this Old Batik can have a new form and live longer.... :)


Batik lawas adalah Batik yang sudah lama dipakai.. warnanya pudar dan bahannya tipis karena sering dipakai dan dicuci. Tapi selalu ada yang suka dengan Batik Lawas, terutama untuk orang2 yang suka antik dan etnik.. 
Batik lawas di jual dalam bentuk kain lembaran atau produk yang dibuat dari kain itu.. misalnya baju, selimut, tas, sarung bantal, dll

Aku pun penyuka Batik Lawas. sepertinya ada keunikan sendiri dari Batik yang satu ini.
Aku membuat buat  aksesoris dari batik lawas..
dan berencana ingin membuat boneka dari batik lawas... pasti hasilnya bagus... :) he he belum apa2 sudah muji sendiri...
Batik lawas yang sudah berbentuk quilt tanpa batting ( dakron ) di dalamnya...dibeli di pasar klewer Yogyakarta..  tp  tidak dipakai untuk bed cover... aku mau pakai untuk project2 kecil seperti boneka dan sarung bantal..atau bahkan tas dan tentunya aksesoris :)

Melihat bentuk yang baru dan memperpanjang hidup Batik Lawas ternyata menyenangkan ....
