Rare vintage fabric with Rupert Bear design

A wonderful vintage fabric with the design of Rupert Bear.

I am told that this is a rare fabric design. I am thinking that it may have been designed by Alex Cubie in the mid 70's .The colours are slightly more vibrant than the earlier ones I've had before and the lines around the characters are bolder.

Measures 59cms x 52/50cms (23.2" x 20.5/19.7")

Find it on Etsy

Vintage French fabric - Indienne cotton design

Now in my etsy shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/RagRescue

There is a beautiful floral Indienne design on this vintage French cotton fabric.

The fabric has the stamps - By Charles Demery S A. Tissu Souleiado

Souleiado is not the only producer of such Indienne prints today, but it is the oldest, established in c.1806
Souleiado; the word in old Provençal means ''a ray of sun shining through the clouds after a rain.''

Due to demand, in 1977, the cottons were printed in factories, instead of by hand blocking.

The colour and design on this fabric lend itself towards use for Christmas items. Cushion covers, table mats, table runners etc would all add that little extra cheerfulness at Christmas time.

30.5cms x 31cms

I have four pieces of this fabric, if you would like to buy more than one piece then they will come as one piece uncut.

Vintage French floral fabric - c.1930s - TS23

http://www.etsy.com/shop/RagRescue

This is a beautiful 1930s piece of used French cotton fabric. iI has gently faded over the years giving it that shabby chic appeal that is so popular.
The colours are my favourite being in a duck egg blue, yellow, pink and red. A great design.

The fabric is still very strong although I have found a couple of tiny pinholes from previous stitching but still ideal for the front of a boudoir cushion/pillow.

Measures - 53cms x 45/43cms ( 20.9" x 17.7/16.9" )
