Indigo Scrap Packs (with Quilt Heart)

Sale price$22.00

Sourced directly from Tokyo's legendary Toji Temple antique market, this curated scrap pack brings a piece of Japan's centuries-old indigo tradition into your mending basket.

Each pack contains a hand-selected assortment of antique and vintage indigo-dyed Japanese fabrics — mostly cottons the occasional worn-soft hemp — in a range of hues from deep midnight navy to soft, faded sky blue. These are genuine antique textiles with history in every thread: you'll find traces of kasuri (ikat) weaving, katazome stencil printing, and the beautiful wear patterns that only decades of use can create. 

Also included are one skein of sashiko floss and a set of sashiko needles. And of course one quilt scrap heart!

Perfect for:

  • Visible mending — patch a beloved pair of jeans, a worn elbow, or a treasured jacket with fabric that has its own story
  • Sashiko embroidery — use as a backing or patch ground for running stitch designs
  • Boro-inspired patchwork — build slow-stitch projects layered with intention and texture
  • Collage & mixed-media — add depth and authenticity to textile art

Because these are authentic antique fabrics, no two packs are identical. Pieces may show signs of age, prior stitching, or gentle fading — all of which only add to their character and charm. Sizes vary; most pieces range from approximately 2"x2" to 5" x 5"

Bring the spirit of boro and the beauty of wabi-sabi to your mending practice — one indigo scrap at a time.

Our Process

Purpose in Repurposing

Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.

Out with the old...

At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
