Details:
This is vintage fabric from The Cele Peterson fabric collection. "For almost a century, Cele Peterson was a catalyst to creative, unselfish, community development, and a challenging voice for worthwhile change." She was a "Tucson's grand dame of fashion" and a philanthropist focused on building up the arts and caring for the children of Tucson, Arizona.
(quotes from her obituary in the Tucson Sentinel)
Project Ideas: This is a lightweight denim that would make cute dresses, skirts, shorts, lightweight jackets, home decor accents, accessories, and more! It's excellent (and completely adorable) for children's clothing.
Content: 100% Cotton
Condition: Like new vintage deadstock. It has a wonderful slubby texture that is hard to find in modern denims. There are some random streaks of other colors of thread throughout the fabric, and there may be some discoloration at the selvedges from being in storage - see last photos.
Width: 36"
Weight: Light
Opacity: Opaque
Drape: Moderate
Circa: 1950
Care Instructions: Always wash and dry fabric before sewing to ensure it is done shrinking, this will make your final project more likely to be machine washable.
