I love fabric from the 1960's and 1970's. I love the boldness of the colour, the big prints, and the cross over from a piece of art work to a piece of fabric. Functional art. Fantastic. Although I do like some abstract pieces, I do tend to have an inner hippy hidden within, as it is the bright and funky florals that I tend to make a bee-line for.
This is a piece of vintage cotton I have had in my stash for some time... waiting! I took a few photos and couldn't decide which ones to post as there is so much going on.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to do something with it. For two whole hours I had the house completely to myself. I used the time to make a halter neck pinny with most of the fabric. Even though I say so myself, it is pretty fabulous. It just needs a couple of finishing touches, a photo shoot, and then it's up for sale. A truly vintage pinny 1960's/70's fabric (I can't put a date on it) in a style influenced by the 1950's! I just thought I'd tempt you with the fabric first!!!
