Lot of 1940s vintage all cotton fabric, about 5 1/2 yards altogether of 34" - 36" wide fabric. There's some red polka dots on white, a shirting with design in red, some really lovely all cotton gingham check in blue and white.

This fabric is out of a whole cellar full of beautiful old textiles we purchased recently... including some very unusual and hard to find fabrics. This was stored away since around WWII, untouched since the 1940s.

Most of this material does have age related foxing (it was carefully stored, wrapped in paper or tissue, which no one expected at that time to lead to foxing later!). There's discoloration to edges and outer folds and fold lines on this fabric.

It's never been laundered, and we haven't washed or soaked it. It might clean up with a good wash, but we'll leave that up to you!
