Batik Bag

Just to share something very cute that I bought from Indonesia. These bags are made from batiks and they can be folded into rectangles.

Batik is a type of cloth that traditionally uses a manual wax-resist dyeing technique. They can be found in Indonesia , Malaysia and Singapore.

Once you removed the straps of the rectangles, they opened into a bag.


I am sure many of you can figure out how to sew similar bags like these.

I bought batik fabric more than a few times for my summer sewing. The patterns and colors just captured me.

(Welcome back! You were missed.)

I think really batik is from indonesia, because UNESCO was designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009

My description was that batik could be found in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore but I have no real clue where it originate from. (Definitely not originate from Singapore). Interesting to find out the history of batik
