This book "Fabulous Barkcloth" by Loretta Smith Fehling, is a wonderful reference and resource book full of color photographs of many of the myriad of patterns that were made:
The big, bold patterns are all so gorgeous. There are SO many styles and colors of this yardage out there. Most of the time when I see it, it's way beyond my price range. But I just love it, and I believe these fabrics were some of the most beautiful ones ever produced. Do you like them?
these are wonderful and romantic! I love the color combos! I have been hanging on to a WHOLE bolt of atomic barkcloth for years!!!!

I love barkcloth too. The tropical ones are my favorites, but I love it all. Most of it you find is still fairly sturdy, but there are pieces I've had that tear easily and have a kind of dry rot. I find it usually holds up well over the years though. Great post. Love T
ReplyDeleteI'm a member of the "I Love Barkcloth" club too. I was surprised when I opened the first page you shared...I was lucky to find two large curtain panels of that exact print. I was thrilled. For me it's always in style.
