100 Ladies Fabric for Tote

A playful canvas for your creativity—ready to stitch, paint, embellish, and bring each figure to life.

This screen-printed cotton-linen panel features 100 Ladies, a charming lineup of illustrated women designed by Kazue Nakajima of Quilts 1989. Originally created as a bag to embellish, then cut-and-sew tote, each figure is intentionally simple, giving you the freedom to add color, texture, personality, or full-on fashion flair. Think embroidery, appliqué, beadwork, mixed-media art, etc. 

The printed figures can absolutely stand on their own, no embellishment required. You can elect to embellish just a couple of the figures, or cover the entire surface with your creative ideas. Makers often transform the ladies into mini fashion tributes—embroidering outfits inspired by favorite artists, musicians, family members, or garments they've sewn themselves. Add 3D details like appliquéd skirts, tiny knitted accessories, or stitched hairstyles to give them delightful dimensionality.
