Vintage Calico Fabrics

Niesz Vintage Fabric provides a nice history of calico in this recent blog post. I’d love to see a resurgence of calico — I wonder what a modern spin on the tiny print would look like. Here are a few more calicos for purchase or inspiration:

From Sew Repurposed

From Retro Revisited

Trim from Destash Depot

    These pictures are causing flashbacks to my childhood–my mom made all kinds of clothes and toys from calicos like these! Thanks for posting!
