Leteise or Shwe Shwe is a fabric produced in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. It is commonly used as a wedding dress fabric in Botswana, Lesotho and South Africa. Typically it is sewn together with tulle and lace for the bride and bridesmaid. The groom and groomsmen usually have jackets or shirts sewn in matching fabric. In recent years Shweshwe's poularity in home decor and quilting has soared.
Please visit my instagram or facebook page @thriftyupenyu where I will be sharing photos of Shweshwe in use.
This listing is for one, 100% calico cotton Shwe Shwe African Fabric yard. 36"x 35"inches. Shweshwe is not as wide unfortunately as regular quilting fabric! If you purchase more than 1 yard it will be 1 continuous piece.
**I have tried my best to portray the colors and designs but as you know, your monitor colors might be slightly different. So feel free to contact me with questions
