CDTYDST African Ankara Fabric 5.5 m Printed Wax Kente Blue – Double-Sided Polyester, 45" Width

CDTYDST African Fabric by 6Yard Printed Ankara Wax Kente Blue is a 6-yard roll of vivid, double-sided wax-print polyester ideal for sewing dresses, headwraps, and home accents.

This premium length of Ankara-style cloth gives makers a full 6 yards (216 inches) of richly patterned material, printed on both sides for consistent colour and design. The dominant blue-on-black geometric motif provides a bold, contemporary take on traditional kente and wax-print aesthetics, while the polyester construction balances vibrant print retention with manageable drape. Whether you design tailored garments, headwraps, or decorative items, this fabric is cut to standard sewing widths and finished to resist rapid fading.

How much fabric do I get and what are the dimensions?

You receive a continuous 6-yard length at a standard 45-inch width — enough for many full-size dresses, skirts, or several accessory projects. The full roll gives pattern repeat continuity, which helps when matching motifs across seams.

• Length: 6 yards / 216 inches
• Width: 45 inches (standard sewing width)
• Sufficient for multiple garments or large home-decor pieces
• Continuous cut suitable for pattern matching

What is the fabric made of and how does it handle wear?

The cloth is 100% polyester finished with a wax-print look so it keeps bright colours and resists early fading. Polyester offers durability and less shrinkage than many natural fibres, though it will feel different from cotton-based ankara. The printed finish is applied to both sides, ensuring the pattern remains visible and vibrant no matter how the fabric is used.

• Material: 100% polyester with wax-print finish
• Printed on both sides for consistent appearance
• Durable and low-shrink compared with many natural fabrics
• Maintains colour saturation through regular use

How should I care for and sew this fabric?

Gentle laundering preserves the printed surface: hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle, avoid bleach, and dry flat or hang to retain shape. Pressing on low to medium heat will relax fibres and improve handling for tailoring; use a pressing cloth if needed to protect the print. Standard sewing tools work well — a universal or polyester needle and polyester thread produce tidy seams.

• Washing: hand wash or gentle machine cycle
• No bleach; avoid harsh detergents
• Iron: low to medium heat, use pressing cloth if required
• Sewing: use universal/polyester needles and polyester thread

What projects does this Ankara wax print suit best?

The bold geometric and beaded-effect motif works for statement garments and striking accessories alike. Tailors and makers will appreciate how the pattern scales for wrap dresses, blouses, or structured bags, while crafters can use leftover pieces for cushions, table runners, and headwraps that pop against neutral interiors.

• Traditional and contemporary dresses, skirts, and blouses
• Headwraps, scarves, and turbans with vivid print
• Bags, clutches, and small accessories
• Home decor: cushion covers, runners, craft accents
