This ticking fabric is French and dates right around 1900~ This fabric is in our " Take it and Make it " store category as it's damaged, and in deep need of creative hands to help it reach it's beauty / usefulness potential! ~*~ It was once a bed matress cover ( ticking) and is made of a heavy weight cotton, damask weave of stripe. The stripes are navy blue and red. This ticking was washed with someone that turned it pink!!! ( I did it :((( many years ago! ) I washed it with a dark red antique textile! So, the ground is pinky toned!! There are some stains, some holes and the back is slip up the length . This was like a giant sack, and the back got torn! Ideal for creative hands!!! Maybe bleach the ground ???~ Whatever the case, it just takes some creativity to make sachets, small pillows, patchwork, doll clothing ETC! ~
Heavy weight !! ~*
Measurements : This piece measures approximately 42 inches wide by 69 inches long ( but it's like a giant sack, so twice that size if opened out! ~*~
Condition : I washed this about 3 years ago ( OOPS!!! ) Please see above! ~*~ The price of this textile is less than cost, just moving it along for someone to get use from it ! ~*~
