Koi Krafters Fabric

Nellita's Craft is thrilled to have vintage Japanese fabric sourced by Sharon Uyeda Fong of the Koi Krafters Boutique. Uyeda Fong purchased her textiles directly from Japan and built relationships with small vendors and online sellers. 

Known as Snoopy to her friends, Uyeda Fong ran the Koi Krafters Boutique. What started as a small gathering of crafters in her backyard grew into an annual fair of Asian American artisans at Almansor Court in Alhambra for over 25 years. Uyeda Fong herself was a popular fiber artist, upcycling Japanese fabrics into handbags, jewelry, and t-shirt embellishments. 

After Uyeda Fong passed away in 2023, her friends joined together to organize the remainder of her craft materials and pass them on to other shops, artists, and sewists. Nellita's Craft hopes you enjoy these rare textiles.
