Top Ten Reasons Why Sarongs Make Great Gifts

19-GB-1-COLLAGE BIG.jpg


Top 10 Reasons Sarongs Make Great Gifts!


  1. One Size Fits Most - Men women and kids use sarongs as wraps and one size fits most
  2. Affordable - Great value for the price
  3. Worthy Causes - Purchasing from 1 World Sarongs supports the artists and their families. Plus we donate a portion of our profits by planting trees through the ISHA foundation (planting over 100 trees in 2021)
  4. Vacation and Travel Buddy - Lightweight and fits in your purse or your backpack (use it on the airplane as a light blanket or quick coverup at the beach)
  5. Feel-Good Natural Fiber - Sarongs of rayon are made from plant fibers (not oil / petroleum-based like polyester, lycra etc.), so they feel a lot silkier on the skin, breath well, and in the end will quickly biodegrade back to the Earth

Teddy wanted to see more of the lake and boulders with lichen on them. So when he "fell" (went) into the water at the lake, we were thankful that mom had a dry half-sarong to continue on our journey.

6. Sunblock - Self explanatory and a must-have for those that want to keep the sun off without having to wear a ton of chemical sunblock

7. Scarf - For both women and men (easy to tuck into a jacket to seal up the cold air from getting in your zipper or button and feels super nice around the neck, not too bulky)

8. First Aid - Can be used as a tourniquet or sling or you can tie a sarong with an ice pack or heating pad onto your body

9. Seat Cover - Keep your seat clean or cover a dirty seat with a sarong

10. Meditation Pillow - Fold up and sit on your sarong to give you a little boost in your lotus

11. Limitless fun - Okay, we know this is #11, but how could we not add fun? You can have loads of fun with a sarong. Try combining two together or experiment with different styles and knots. Our kids make boots out of them, capes and even use them to pull each other around on wagons and skateboards. Parents use them to tie up their kids when they misbehave! Just kidding! Wives use them to keep their husbands at home ;-) and husbands use them to keep their wives happy at home! LOL, No matter how you use your sarong they're one of the most functional fashionable and fun items you will ever own. So have fun and enjoy life with your sarongs!

Thank you again for all of your support and happy holidays!!!

How Do We Make Sarongs? The Embroidery Method.

http://www.1worldsarongs.com/sarong-kd-emb-tpl-ltblue.html

Got yourself one of our embroidered sarongs? What is embroidery anyway? If don't know by now, this artistry skill requires a lot of dedication and patience.

Embroidered Sarong
A needle and thread is used to stitch and create the pattern designs onto a piece of sarong cloth. These days the art of embroidering are also used to incorporate other materials onto a fabric such as pearls, sequins, beads and more. In other words, it is an art that combines decorative designs onto textile.
This handicraft has been dated for centuries and perceived as a rich cultural technique for fashion in many different countries.  'Before computers were affordable, most embroidery was completed by "punching" designs on paper tape that then ran through a mechanical embroidery machine. One error could ruin an entire design, forcing the creator to start over' (Wikipedia). However, these days people are moving towards digitized stitch work where industrial machines equipped with a smart software are used to substitute hand embroidering to speed up production.
Here at 1 World Sarongs, we take pride in valuing the artists and their traditional ways of Sarong making and we support the locals when it comes to Indonesian artisan skills.
During our team research on the field, we got to learn the process of embroidery for Batik clothing and sarongs using a sewing machine. For a big piece of cloth in the size of a sarong, the art maker is like 'drawing' with a needle and thread in free motion style to create designs on to the material, basically using a sewing machine to free hand draw and fill in a design.With all the precision and time invested on each sarong, the more detailed the design, the more time consuming it gets.

This intricate handicraft coupled with skillful needlework creates a very attractive sarong with embroidery patterns, giving that added beauty and elegance when worn.
