This fabric is unbelievably heavy weight, Ideal for SO many projects. ~*~ This fabric comes from what was originally sewn together like a giant sack and it was once used as a mattress cover! We opened this out to give us this wonderful large piece of heavy weight, BEAUTIFUL fabric! This fabric dates from c1890-1930, difficult to date precisely. This fabric was woven by hand, at a rate of about 21 inches for an entire evening's work! The fibers are both cotton and linen. You can see there are seams on this piece as the hand woven panels were woven on a narrow loom, so needed to be joined together to make larger textiles! This is a heavy weight fabric, wonderful floppy hand with gorgeous color! ~
This fabric is ideal for making pillows, table cloths, bed covers, curtains, shower curtains, or upholstery fabric that will wear like iron! ~*~ you name it!! We are confident you will love this fabric indeed! ~*~

MEASUREMENTS: This wonderful textile measures approximately 72 inches long by 37 inches wide ~*~

CONDITION: This textile is in as found, not freshly laundered condition. This piece can be machine washed. I recommend washing alone as occasionally there has been some pale bleeding from the stripe color! It can also be dry cleaned easily! ~*~ If washing in the machine, I like to hotsell add a scoop of Oxyclean and normal detergent. I like to use a fabric softener in the final rinse for added softness! It can be tumbled dry. This piece has a few faint marks that may not wash; see photos and use the zoom feature to see details. Heavy weight, durable and stunning! ~
