Original art work designed by Hawaiians in Hawai'i.
Handmade in India
Made for lovers of Hawaiian flowers and Hawaiian legends, our Naupaka Quilt Pattern is perfect as a gift for quilt makers and offers a wonderful way to spend quality time with loved ones by creating.
Based on the indigenous flower of the same name, our Naupaka Quilt Pattern represents the story of Princess Naupaka and her lover, Kauʻi, who were separated due to their social standing (royalty and commoner). Naupaka was forced to live in the mountains and Kauʻi by the ocean, which explains why each naupaka blossom grows in halves - two lovers who are incomplete without each other. Share the beauty and story behind the Naupaka flower by purchasing a pattern (and a few more for your friends, too)!
So love the look of this piece. It’s so soft and the body flows around me really well, but the sleeves are pretty tight. I don’t have thick arms, so if you are a girl that does, this may not be for you. That said, the piece is great for dressing up or down an outfit. I’m 5’3” and 144lbs, 36C. I wear a small to medium most tops. I purchased a large.
I can’t tell you how much I love this pant. The material is a little stiff, giving it structure, which makes it perfect for a spring/summer /mild weather piece to wear to a mid-day ballet performance, brunch or summer dinner party, date night…really anything that you want to wear something that will give you a smile, allow you to be comfortable and still looks great. Also, the waist band is tall enough that it keeps its structure, and not confining. And I love the pocket depth. This is such a cute piece.
Purchased as a gift to a very special Kupuna friend. She loves it and wore it to her very next luncheon and got a lot of complementing the color and design. Thank you.
