A giant parcel arrived for me yesterday – look what was inside!
This fabric is a bit of a mystery… it was sent to me by a friend, but I have no idea how old it is, what it’s made from, or what it was originally designed to be used for.
It’s a heavy twill, and it feels as though it’s mostly cotton. The fabric is 53″ wide, with a printed area of 51″. The selvedge doesn’t give away any clues, it only shows the six different colours used in the print. No date, no designer, nothing.
I’m guessing 1970s, from the combination of the pattern and the colour.
This print is BIG – you’re looking at about 30″ x 21″ (77 x 53cm) in the photograph – so I suspect it was intended for curtains and upholstery.
Personally, I think it would be great for an unusual skirt or dress!
