Vintage Fabric of the Day: 50's Mod Mess

I'm a huge fan of mid-century design and  think I would love to trade in my bungalow, which I do love, for something that screams modern. If I could just figure out how to incorporate them into my turn of the century home, life would be perfect. OK, maybe not perfect but pretty darn close. So for the next few days, get ready to see some great swatches of mid century beauties I'd like to bring home.

This fab 1950's cotton print can be found at Sharon's Antiques, one of my favorite websites, dedicated solely to vintage textiles.

Vintage Fabric of the Day: Vintage Geometry

This week is all about plaid, one of my favorite fabric designs. I'm a clean lines sort of girl, and something about plaid patterns really speaks to me. Today's plaid is not quite the sleek lines I am usually drawn to, but I just couldn't resist this geometric beauty, offered by Retro Age Vintage Fabrics. Their shop is a truly stunning collection of vintage fabrics, with an amazing inventory of  retro, mod and op art pieces to choose from.

Happy Thursday!

Vintage Fabric of the Day: Mad for Plaid

I've been particularly drawn to plaid and striped fabrics recently. So don't be surprised if, for the next few days, you're seeing a plethora of vintage plaids. This first example is a double whammie for me. Not only does this fantastic plaid boast those ever enticing, crisscrossing stripes, but textured stripes too! Yes, you guessed it, a plaid plisse. So, here it is, my vintage swatch of the day, courtesy of Thryftypyg!

Vintage Fabric of the Day: Stripey 70's

Today I'm feeling a 70's vibe and there's no better place to get my fix than Thriftypyg.  This succulent striped beauty is called "Harlequin", a screen printed design produced in the 1970's by Sheridan.

Vintage Fabric of the Day

With all the rainy, overcast days we've been experiencing, I decided I would pick a bright and sunny print as my 1st fabric of the day entry. I am always pouring over the new listings at Sharon's Antiques. She and her husband are not only wonderful people, they always have an impeccable  assortment of vintage and antique fabrics in their online store. I couldn't think of a better shop to choose a fantastic sample of vintage splendor from. So without further ado, Vintage Fabric of the Day #1!
