Tatami-heri bags are out of stocks! Please contact us if you would like to order.

Probably some of our customers might have realised this but

Tatami-heri bag has been very popular and out of stocks at the moment.

It has been very popular at the shows (thank you) and therefore we are always out of stocks for the products. However, they are on the way and will become available very soon.

Please order through "contact us" button on the website if you would like to order.

Our advice is, as soon as you find them on the show, please buy them right there to avaid a dissapointment.

There are more for Craft and Sydney Show coming up next month.

Happy quilting
