Beautiful fabric. Very clean and well cared for. It is a nice cotton broadcloth, as described. The use of the phrase "barkcloth era" in the title confused me, I admit. Barkcloth is still being made. I came away with the impression this was barkcloth. I still love it. 5 stars.

Absolutely love this purchase. From the kind communication to the speedy shipping and the icing on the cake, COMPOSTABLE packaging! I love this seller and her shop. Quality vintage fabric (which you can see in the way she presents perfect photos on her listings!), which I love. So happy to have purchased from this exceptional shop! Highly recommended!

Actually, I don't like the fabric. Kimberly did a great job, but the fabric was too pink for my taste. Not her fault. Another fabric of hers was great.

More Vintage Fabric!

Vintage Recycled!

I have always loved working with vintage textiles. I've been sewing since I was a kid and got the vintage bug at my mother's knee. My Mom taught me to sew and she loved antiques, so guess they both just rubbed off. Besides having a fixation for all fabrics vintage, I eventually got hooked on Mid Century Moderne and Craftsman style furniture and art pottery from those eras.
I was in a bricks and mortar antique store for 15 years
specializing in vintage textiles and art pottery, and loved it. I eventually had to get out of the business because there just wasn't enough time in the day to do everything.
The problem is, I never did get over it...so here I am at ETSY!
