Pippijoe is another great source for limited edition, hand screen printed fabrics. They print on both a 55% hemp / 45% cotton blend and a 100% hemp fabric using environmentally friendly inks. The fabrics are described as “soft to touch and feel like linen” and perfect for “crafts, bags, clothing, soft furnishings and light upholstery” and a heavier base weight fabric is available for projects that need something sturdier. Pippijoe’s Etsy Shop offers mix packs and a couple of the fabrics, or you can buy fabrics by the metre on the main Pippijoe site. Different fabrics have different prices, from about $16 to $35 per yard in U.S. dollars for 30″ wide fabric. The Pippijoe blog will get you up to date with all the happenings and cute crafty ideas.
