French fabric for sale

I've been going through my stash of vintage French fabrics.  It's sort of pile that most vintage fabric fans have where pieces are carefully stored for the future, when the call of creating something is loud and clear.  Unfortunately in my case, I can't sew a button on straight so time to thin out.





Beautiful burgundy, from 19thc, was once a single bed-head cover.



A striking salmon pink mattress ticking, with white flowers woven into the fabric



A real eye-pop of colour here: scarlet red, with white and grey flowers.



Another 19thc piece, in an Art Nouveau design, a little shabby but perfect for that small vintage project.



A beautiful design of floral pinks on a black background, nicely dramatic




And, finally, a little morceau of embroidery, probably from an old kneeling stool or chair, just perfect for a vintage cushion.

sorry, but all sold

As usual, if you would like any more info, just click here to take you to more pictures etc


Ooh!  Just noticed it's my 200th blog posting!

Have a good week!
