I have become fascinated with the history of vintage fabric.
I know, it doesn't take alot to
entertain me. ; )
Wikipedia...
"While focusing on colours and tones, accessories were less of an importance during the sixties. People were dressing in psychedelic prints, highlighter colours, and mismatched patterns.[3]
As the suits drifted away from pale, toned shades, menswear was now bright and colorful.
Variations of polyester were worn along with acrylics
Velvet mini dresses with lace-collars and matching cuffs
. Paisley was particularly popular during the Summer of Love, heavily identified with psychedelic style and the interest in Indian spirituality and culture."
Fabric definitely took a turn for the colorful.
Some lovely vintage fabric....
I am filled with nostalgia.
Are you?
Even cartoons were colorful!!!
BTW, Peter Max had a huge influence on 60's fabric!
Peter Max

little lovelies!
Love to you all!

A lady posted a bunch of fabrics that looks an awful lot like these on craigslist last week for $30. I will have to check if they are still there and get them for you :)
