Who is Ume Komachi?
This has been forced on my bucket list...finding out who this person is and why their fabric has disappeared from stores! I love love this fabric. The Japanese know how to do cotton! I love the weaving of the different cotton threads--it begs to be touched and admired.
The color combination, orange, red and --teal, aqua, seafoam--just what is that color supposed to be called any way? It came in a few different color combos, but this was MY favorite. The bead dangle was from the talented JoEllen of Ally Beads. I love her style--I could hand her anything and say..go for it and I know I will love it. It was a blast to put this together. Unfortunately my stash of this is so tiny now, it will be the last offering of this fabric in anything I do...unless I stumble on more. Please let me know if you have seen this anywhere. Enjoy!

I LOVE this fabric! This is beautiful!!
I just stumbled across your blog while looking for this fabric.
Ume is Japanese for plum. Ume-Komachi is the name of the fabric which I think translates to "plum branch" I believe it is a Kokka print.
You can buy some more at this website:

It has been out of print for a number of years and is very hard to find.
I just found about 1/2 of a yard at an estate sale, today!
Thank you for posting :-)
