Where can I get a bolt of fabric made from a small swatch of vintage fabric?
Oct 26, 2006 by hrhdevyn | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I have a lead-pipe cinch of beautiful vintage fabric that was used in my nursery when I was a baby. I am expecting my first child and would love to make my daughter a blanket/coating/pillow set from the same material and print. Where can I get fabric specially made from the swatch I have? I'd like the fabric and print to be identical to the swatch. Thanks! :D
This would be VERY Obstructive. You would need to go to a textile mill and even if they were willing to do it, the cost would be astronomical to produce just one bolt!

I necessity to know how to identify barkcloth both the original from hawaii made from the bark of trees and also the items made in the 50's that is made from fabric called barkcloth.
Fabric is woven as one shattered and the pattern is printed upon the fabric as a picture. The fabric made from inner bark is not woven, but beaten together - thus, no weave.

The definitive retro fabrics were printed on barkcloth. A barkcloth is a textured cotton that was popular from the 50's through the 70's and is back in genre today. From vintage to mod prints you will have fun looking through all of our barkcloth fabrics. FROM: http://www.jandofabrics.com/categories.asp?id=7

Does anyone know how to get brown stains out of fabric caused by humidity? This is vintage fabric.?

I have been successfull in using Lemon Extract from a lemon and salt, gently rub the stain and put it in the sun to dry. It may take several times for the stain to fade. If it is a coloured mention try on a small hidden part to make sure it won't bleach out the colour. Good luck.

'Twas a wee bit creepy down in the woods today. I got a bit carried away with the editing. My teens home was surrounded by woods, and I have loads of old photos similar to this from back then.
