Hello from Me, am Scott a normal bloke ;) yet i have a few thousand pieces of Vintage fabric i have not got a clue about. My Nan Ginny was a seamstress, she started work in the 40s. Then she started to sew and collect. I have a room in my house with shelf's in that are four feet wide by eight feet deep. Two of them stacked from floor to ceiling. I need help identifying what they are. have looked at the resource guide, yet seems i have a lot to look through. Was wondering if anyone close, wanted to swop a little time for a bit of fabric. Am on the Wirral, near liverpool ;) Will upload a few photos ;)
Hi Scott, and welcome to the forums. Identifying the age and textile of vintage fabrics is a specialised area - my suggestion is to see if there are any vintage shops near by, or you could try fashion or textile colleges. If I wasn't so far away, I'd offer my services. It might be hard to find someone but I wish you luck: once you know what you have, you can then work out what to do with it.
