Did you know or remember that Sears used to sell fabric by the yard? No longer, I'm afraid. Here is a sampling of what was available in the Spring/Summer catalog of '67.
Lots of gingham.
Kitchen curtains anyone?
I admit it-- I never heard of "hopsacking" before. Have you? I'm surprised as my mother did a ton of sewing back in that era.
Thanks for viewing!
Oh yes I do remember that. Do they still carry material in other stores like Wal-mart?
ReplyDeleteHopsack sounds vaguely familiar, but not sure about it. The others are familiar. It's amazing how all of it was so 'cool' at the time. :-))
ReplyDeleteI don't remember Hopsacking either.
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about that! Knits....oh how hard they were to sew! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've heard of Hopsacking.. Some of those fabrics are pretty awful by today's standards. I guess fabric is sold in specialty stores now..You used to be able to get it in craft stores..
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of those patterns would work for me
ReplyDeleteLook at all those patterns! Love the gingham, I have a soft spot for it for some reason. I've heard of hopsacking but to be honest didn't know what it was exactly, just did a search and it appears to be a coarse fabric similar to burlap? Don't think I'd want a shirt made out of it!
ReplyDeleteI remember Mom ordering material from the catalogue! Such a variety!!
