:: January 15, 2006 Fabric Friday: Sunday Edition
I don't think anyone is out there taking roll, but blame my lateness on cedar fever, which is right up there with tree roaches on the Reasons You Don't Want to Live in Austin list. This week: non-eBay sources for vintage fabric!
Sharon's Vintage Fabrics has a huge selection of vintage fabrics and feedsacks, as well as vintage aprons, handkerchiefs, and every other kind of vintage textile imaginable.
Revival Fabrics has a variety of cotton and apparel fabrics, mostly from the 50s-70s.
Antiquefabric.com: "We are your new source on the Internet for antique fabrics from the mid-19th century through the 1960's. While we specialize in cottons for quilters, we also have a selection of 1930's-50's rayons for costumes and swing era dresses; lawn, dimity and organza for doll costumers; and silks, satins and brocades for crazy quilters. We also offer vintage feedsacks, antique cigarette silks, lace, trims and buttons."
Make Me Fabrics has a real-life store in Asheville, NC. In addition to cottons from the 50s and 60s and some synthetics and upholstery fabrics, Make Me has some of the best selections of vintage trim and patches I have seen out there. That deer fabric makes me feel faint. posted by in Fabric Friday

I'd forgotten about Sharon's...maybe out of financial necessity. I love the ones you picked to show. those deer are amazing! Posted by hillary on January 17, 2006 9:29 AM You are forgetting the wonderfully fabulous store of "Step-mom's closet!" Whilst home this holiday season, I asked Janet if she had any fabric scraps I could pillage. LO AND BEHOLD, she whips out two boxes of WONDERFUL fabrics from the 60's and 70's. It was a HUGE score. Some are only small enough for quilt squares, but that's OK. It was SO much fun just rummagting through the boxes... Posted by shelli on January 19, 2006 6:45 AM |
