A Patched and Mended Shibori Diaper: Itajime Method

This lightweight cotton cloth measures, as shown as 23 1/2" or 59.5 cm in length, when in reality as it is twice that since this is a length of cotton that has been stitched as a "tube," short end to short end.

It is a diaper and is dyed in the itajime shibori or clamp dyed method.  The cotton would have been folded in a series of triangular folds, then clamped, and then the edges would have been dyed.  The result is this field of blue on white, 8 pointed "flowers" which are arranged in ordered repeat.  

The diaper is patched and repaired on both its sides as is clear from the photos here and it also shows two unmended holes as well.
