Art deco lady fabric...unironed, but just had to show!

Can you believe I forgot we had this piece? I set myself to enjoying the sunshine today - and to photographing as many fabrics as I possibly could. I have just downloaded them to the laptop - approx 320 photos with an average of 2-3 shots per fabric. Eeekkk...that means 100 fabrics are waiting for me back at work tomorrow :)

I got to the end of my tether and got into a tizz - got overworked and then tried to just motor on, not caring what the fabric was or what it looked like.

Thus, I have some hilarious shots of unironed fabrics. Ironing is not my forte, I can tell you!

This is a piece I forgot we had - it's a vintage late 60s or early 70s shiny polyester with a border print of this lady's face - the face is huge, around 30cm high, from memory. I love it - and am sure it will look so much better when I iron it. I remember th lady I bought if from years ago explained to me that it's a famous art deco face...it looks more hippie 60s to me - but if anyone knows otherwise let me know...

Have a great week all!

Yes, we do buy vintage fabric :)

It's a question we get almost daily :) - so we thought it high time we answered it...

Yes, we most certainly do buy vintage fabric - in large quantities or in small quantities. We buy online and at private viewings - whether it's a personal stash or an estate sale. We prefer patterns over single colour as they are much easier to photograph for the online market and we prefer cottons as they are more versatile for our buyers. Having said that, we buy literally anything as long as it's genuine vintage (made before 1980s) and it's of good vintage quality - ie, not many marks etc...

We have been thinking of offering a type of service for people who have vintage fabrics but who don't want to sell it to people like 'us' (meh), but who would prefer to offer it for sale on our website and for a price they are happy with. If you are interested contact us - there would be a percentage we would have to charge and postage to the buyer would be covered by you, but I'd be more than happy to discuss possibilities...

Birdie fabric is divine, isn't it? From Sweden and hopefully going up on the website tomorrow or over the weekend...
