A 1 yard 4 inch long by 61 inch wide piece of polyester stretch knit fabric. Manufacturer unknown. Fiber not stated and date unknown but based upon the rest of the fabric from this estate, this piece is late 1960s to early 1970s.
No fiber content stated but feels
like polyester and is a knit. The fabric
is a rectangle…any distortion to that shape is either the angle of my clothesline
or the fabric is just blowing in the wind.
Any discolorations are the fact I take a bad photo or the sun is
glinting off of a fold.
I did not see any flaws, pulls or
snags. There is yellow marker along one
cut edge (you can see it in some of the photos). The marks come in 3 inches from the edge BUT
I have not included those 3 inches in the measurements. Fabric seems strong without weak areas. I did not see any flaws in the printing
although the print along the selvedges is a bit uneven. The fabric does allow light through it and
may need a slip if sewn into a dress.
Year: 1960s/1970s
Fiber: 100% Polyester. This is a knit with slight stretch. Pulling a 10 " section of the cross
grain HARD resulted in 11"...1"
of stretch.

fabric. The browns are darker.

Please note that my yard has no pets and is not fertilized...just grass. So if a piece of fabric lies on the grass while hanging from the clothesline for photos...it stays clean.
When purchasing a vintage fabric please remember that it is old. I may have missed a fade or a flaw. I may have misjudged the year. I am happy to be corrected.
All fabrics are vintage items and sold...AS IS. Although I maintain a smoke-free and a pet-free studio, I have no control over where items have been previously.
