Authentic African Mudcloth pillow cover with black cross pattern. The back of the pillow is finished with a cotton/linen blend in natural.
Why is lining important? Mudcloth is made of narrow strips of handwoven cotton that are stitched together to create the width. Lining the mudcloth at the seams with woven interfacing adds stability to these handwoven textiles. In addition to securing the seams, I add a second lining of cotton muslin, this prevents the textile from stretching out of shape and ensures you receive a well made, beautiful product.
Pillow Insert is not included. I recommend sizing up one or two inches for your insert.
20" cover= 22" insert
Dry clean only
Both the textile and pillow cover are handmade and may have slight variations or imperfections. All textiles are inspected before cutting. All cut edges are over-locked, pressed and carefully packaged to ensure you receive a beautiful product.
Handwoven Mali mudcloth is made of narrow strips of handwoven cotton that are stitched together to achieve the width of the cloth. The handpainted patterns and symbols use a variety of natural dyes and paint, including river mud that has been aged up to one year. These beautiful textiles come in a variety of colors and patterns, a great way to add texture and color to your home.
