Vintage French floral fabric - TS20 duck egg blue, pink



This is a beautiful 19th century piece of used French cotton fabric. it 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 and shades of pink.


The fabric has small hems on some sides but is still very strong and ideal for the front of a boudoir cushion/pillow.


Measures - 44cms x 36cms (17.3" x 14.2" )

Vintage French linen fabric - TS11

This is a wonderful piece of vintage French linen fabric which was once part of a window valance. The fabric is textured with ribbed lines running at intervals.
 As this was part of a valance there is slight gathering along the top edge which would straighten out if the stitching was taken out. There is also slight stitch marks along the bottom where there was a hem but with laundering or steaming I am sure that these will be less noticeable.
Measures - 82/79cms / 32.3/31.1" x 23cms/9.1"

Vintage fabric, English,deer,rabbits, birds and flowers - TS10

Now in my etsy shop


I just adore this fabric with its colourful flowers and cute animals. The design is so unusual with the deer and rabbits running through the mass of flowers with the bird watching.
 The fabric is a textured linen and is very strong, ideal for a cushion front, a bag front or for other crafting, sewing uses.
 I think this piece must have been part of a curtain as there seems to have been a hem at the bottom as there is a fold line which I am sure could be ironed out. There is also a line of tiny stitch holes left by a needle, which can be seen on the photo's. Once again these should disappear with further steaming.
 The fabric measures 76cms/29.9" x 46cms/18.1"
