I
knew from a previous visit to George Town, Bahamas (in the Exumas) of locally
produced batik fabrics. I was fortunate
enough to find at Marilyn's Gift shop a gorgeous little pink cotton dress in
Andros Batik and some dotty sandals to match – a nice summery gift for little
Miss P. They also stocked a nice
selection of other clothes and decorator products in Bahama's batiks. The fabric prints and colours just seemed to
shout “clear blue waters and sunny skies!”
The
staff were very friendly and explained the story of Andros Batik; it may well
be the only locally produced (handmade) dyed fabric range in the Bahamas. Enjoy their story. I, as always, am looking for fabric lengths
rather than pre-made items. Why sew a
dress when you can make a quilt…right?
Just couldn’t resist a little pink dress though…
