Delicious vintage ticking in yellow-orange color. It is a European damask fabric from around 1920. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. This cotton fabric is lightweight and extra soft! Here we can see a set of Chinoiserie elements: A woman playing a shakuhachi flute, flowers such as lanterns, hanging lanterns, etc. The yellow warp yarn gives the fabric a special shine.

ROSARIO SAYS: “It has so many details that I spend my time admiring the fabric and I'm barely making progress in my sewing project :(“
