“We hate to waste precious pieces of material so we have filled a cute bag with Lotta Jansdotter linen fabric remnants in a range of colors and sizes. Each bag is filled with approx. 36×24″ of fabric, often more, and each is composed by Lotta herself. There is at least 5 different patterns in each bag and no two bags are alike.

*Please note: We request that this fabric be used for personal use only and not for items made for resale.”
