      1970s fabrics

      Hold the mouse over the picture for details.
      With a few exceptions such as the Laura Ashleys these are all mainly
      poly-cottons and are fairly robust but a 30ºC machine wash will suffice.

      Where it's not obvious I've had to guess at the fabric composition
      but I've tried to make that clear in the description.

      7001

      7002
      7002
      St Michael (M&S) large scale design in browns and ochres. Fabric is cotton or poly-cotton in a loose weave.

      Best for: cushions, placemats.

      7005
      7005
      Poly(?)cotton with white and soft orange blooms on soft faun-y brown. A subtle take on the 70s floral.

      Best for: cushions, lavender bags, drawstring bags, zipped bags and purses.
      7006
      7006
      Poly cotton with shades of yellow, white and ochre. Fun without being brash.

      7008

      Soft poly-cotton with shades of yellow, peach and griege. It has a faded quality which I think is integral to the fabric (rather than from age) as it's uniform.
