So with breath held I wacked right into this vintage fabric. I believe it to be from the fifties. It is 100% cotton, but feels like silk. I truly prefer the older fabric. We've lost something in the manufacturing of fabric. I am sure there is an explanation. Thread count, cost to produce, something. As a consequence I tend to hoard the vintage that I have. I really want to use it but I'm afraid that once it's gone I'll never find more. However; I can't enjoy it sitting on my shelf either. So I'm debusting the stash. More of my journey here...
