Ankara fabric is a kind of patterned, vividly colored cotton fabric that has its roots in West Africa. Dutch wax print cloth or African wax print fabric are other names for it. Ankara cloth has striking patterns that might symbolize many African tribes, ethnic groups, or faiths. These patterns frequently have cultural importance. Ankara fabric is prominent in African fashion and is used to create both classic pieces like dashikis, kente cloth, and kaftans as well as more modern looks like dresses, skirts, and accessories. Tablecloths and cushion covers are only two examples of the home décor products made from the fabric. The cloth known as ankara is renowned for its resilience and capacity to maintain color even after numerous washings.

Below are the steps i took to achieve those beautiful set.
