Floral-patterned Grand Super-Wax fabric by Vlisco
'A more exclusive version of Super-Wax, rich in colours and bubbling, and printed with a gloss finish. The most defining (and beloved) feature of a Super-Wax is its duo-colour “bubbling” print effect...
...Grand Super-Wax is a luxurious twist on the original, using Vlisco cotton satin. Grand Super-Wax is made using a highly-unique wax printing technique unlike any other in the world: every piece is created with an unequalled and extraordinary level of care and precision.
First, a design in liquid wax is printed on cotton satin. A base dye such as indigo soaks into the cloth around the wax, leaving behind a deep, intense colour. The magic of the ‘wax-breaking’ during the printing process results in a large, irregular pattern of vein-like bubbles throughout the design.
One single piece of Grand Super-Wax goes through an average of 27 total step before it receives a final gloss finish, and a select number of Grand Super-Wax fabrics are covered from edge-to-edge in transparent glitter.'

Spent the afternoon and evening sewing appropriately seventeen kilometres worth of stage curtains. They are for Black History Month, so they are all beautiful West African wax prints. Gorgeous to look at, but were an absolute nightmare to work with.
I am now completely exhausted from hauling these fabrics around my sewing machine. My arms. They are noodles.
