CONDITION
Fair condition. This fabric has some tiny holes, some pale fading and flaws, it’s maybe only suitable for small projects such as pillows, small upholstery, sachets, patchwork - it really depends on your tolerance for signs of time and use. A wonderful and rare fabric with a gorgeous color! Lovely but not perfect - still very special and large indeed!
