Old is Gold! This certainly applies to fabrics. Nothing outdated or musty; old fabrics are exquisite! Old fabrics carry a unique charm and history with them. They are steeped in tales of bygone eras and can be a wonderful addition to various creative projects. In this blog, we'll explore different types of old fabrics, with a focus on brocade and jacquard, Gobelin, Ottoman rib fabric, and printed fabrics with a vintage or antique look. We'll also discuss how these fabrics can be used in projects ranging from cosplay costumes to antique furniture restoration. I. Brocade and Jacquard: Brocade and jacquard are luxurious fabrics known for their intricate patterns and opulent appearance. These fabrics are often found in garments from various historical periods. They are woven rather than printed, hence often considered precious. Especially so in the past!

Some fabrics are collector's items! If you spot Gobelin fabric and hesitate, don't. There's a good chance it's a one-time offer.
