Dutch People fabric
|
I love shopping at thrift stores as you never know what you will find! Last week I found this pieces in a stapled shut plastic bag with only a small part of the guy with the buckets showing so I thought maybe it was a "Jack and Jill" themed fabric. Got home and then got sick. A few days later, when I finally open the plastic bag I discovered this great piece with the Dutch boy and girl (although since the boy is smoking a pipe maybe they are supposed to be adults). From selvedge to selvedge it is 36" wide and 54" long. The background tiny pink and white gingham is printed on the fabric. A friends suggested it is feed sack fabric, but I see no evidence of holes from sewing edges together or an label having been taken off. I have never knowingly seen feed sack fabric, but I would assume that they would have those characteristics. If anyone has more information about this great piece, please let me know. I would appreciate it.
