Vintage 1970’s Beige Momie Weave Drapery/Bedding Fabric | 4.5 yds

Item Description.  This fabric came from a Houston area estate.  The previous owner made her own clothes and window treatments starting in the early 1940’s and continued to do so until the 1990’s.  She also collected fabrics.  This fabric is part of that stash.   

Content.  100% Cotton

Condition. As new.  A 1.75 yds. x 17 in. section has been cut from one end of the length.  The remaining 2.75 yds. of fabric are the full 49 inches wide.    

Color Details. Beige

Textile Type and Design.  The fabric is a complex weave, it believe it is called momie, and it results in a pebbly surface with statistically random knots of fabric appearing on the surface.  If you grew up in the 1970’s you knew someone with a bedspread or drapes made out of this material.  It is very retro.    

Application. This is a medium to heavy weight fabric and is appropriate for use as upholstery, bedding (bed spreads), drapes, and other home décor applications. 

Total Length.  4.5 yds. (2.75 49in. wide, 1.75 yds. 32 in. side)

Width.  49 in.

Fabric Weight.  Heavy to Medium

Total Weight.  4 lbs.

A note about color reproduction. Color is subjective.  Any descriptors used to characterize color must to taken as a suggestion only, and not as definitive. Color reproduction is massively difficult and color management in most devices is implemented poorly.  Apple devices handle color reasonably well.  Microsoft Windows devices are all over the place; the same applies to Android devices.   Those with Windows PC’s are strongly encouraged to enable Windows Color Management and install updated monitor drivers or download the ICC color space specific to the monitor and then configure Windows Color Management properly.  If you are unsure how to check or configure, I am willing to assist.  Unless a calibrated monitor is used, I recommend resetting the monitor back to factory standard configurations.  For most flat screen monitors, color settings should be set to 5000K, daylight, or warm and the brightness setting should be high.  For Android devices, the brightness adjustment slider should be pushed to the right.  Any “night” or “bedtime” view settings which automatically filter much of the color blue on all platforms should be disabled.   Otherwise, your eyes may be deceiving you, and, most likely, are!
