Fabrics from 1950's / 60's -does anyone know what to do with them?
      28/12/2008 22:14

Whilst clearing out my dad's loft (to make way for the junk currently cluttering up downstairs lol!) I came across some old curtain material etc from my nan's house I think. The fabrics are in such distinctive prints that you just wouldn't see in the shops these days and must be 40 - 50 years old. It seems a shame to chuck them away but you wouldn't exactly be able to use them unless you were decorating a museum!

I have photograped them is there anywhere that I could send them do you know? I thought about the V&A but they would probably only want real designer stuff - these are good quality but my old Nan's pension didn't really stretch to Cristian Dior! Funnily enough, I saw fabrics on the antiques roadshow tonight but i think our stuff is down the other end of the scale from this.

Many thanks girlies
