Ooohhh, my goodness...I fell in love with this fabric the moment I saw it in a local charity shop, nestling unloved and unappreciated amongst the nylon duvets.
It is a gorgeous,early 1960's Walt Disney Productions fabric, a soft cotton which was, in a previous life, a curtain. Obviously well loved and well cared for, the colours nearly as bright today as they were fifty years ago.
Beautiful, and very nostalgic.
Today I have used a portion of this fabric to make a cushion. The back is a stripy navy and white polycotton.

That is lovely. Charity shops are real treasure troves - I'm currently on the hunt for quilt backing. I hope I stumble across something like this :-)

ReplyDeleteFinding something like this makes all the hours I've spent sifting through polyester and nylon worthwhile!
