Does anyone recognize this fabric?

13 years ago

I found this fabric at Hancock on their "flat fold" sale table a year or so ago. It's been in my fabric stash and I recently found the perfect project for it. However, I only have about 1 1/2 yards and I need more. Does anyone recognize it and know where I can find more?

The black damask print is velvet flocked on a somewhat coarsely woven linen type background. I would say it's a medium weight drapery or lightweight upholstery type fabric. I searched Google and finally found something called Bonetti Velvet Flocked Linen, but the pattern seems different (the only image I can find of it is very close up, so it's hard to tell). Any other ideas? Thanks.

I searched and searched and found similar fabrics but not this one. Sorry.

Hopefully someone will recognize it.

I don't think the Bonetti is a match.

Thanks for looking Dawn. Do you mind sharing the similar fabrics you found? I would consider just buying something new in the yardage I need if it's very close. I really love the juxtaposition of textures and colors in this fabric and haven't seen anything close to it except the Bonetti, but the picture of it was too small to really tell if the overall pattern would work.

The residence was also written up in (I think) the Feb issue of Better Homes and Gardens. I've passed it on to my sister, but it said something like the Color issue on the top of the cover. I know there was some information in the resources section of the magazine as I looked up a pillow on the bed in the guest room of the story. If you can find that issue, it may mention the fabric source.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. My DH now informed me this morning that he thinks it might be to busy when the panels are pulled closed (I wasn't going to pull the bay drapes closed). I think I am going to call back the fabric center and see if they will give me a refund, and start over. I am going to find a fabric I love, even if it means painting the kitchen over again. We are at the end of our small remodel, but the fun has gone out of it. By what many others have told me I am a fine seamstress, but I sure cannot pick fabric for my dining area drapes. I guess I am just feeling extra discouraged this morning. Thanks again for trying to help me. If you have anymore suggestions of what I should be looking for in a dining area drape, please feel free to let me know. I need to find a good book, or website that explains what I should be looking for when trying to decorate this simple area. Jane

Lisa_a- that is a nice fabric, but I don't think it's the one I'm looking for since it has no yellow. The reason I'm so hung up on this particular fabric is because it has the aqua, citron, yellow, khaki, and cream that I love. I was really depending on this fabric to tie my accessories together. I guess I'm just going to have to try to find something different with the same colors in it. I love Amy Butler fabrics but I haven't seen them in person and I'm not 100% sure the ones I like contain the right colors. However, Waverly does have a fabric similar to the other fabric (it comes in mineral and mist I think). Instead of brown the lattice pattern is cream. That could work and it's on sale right now. Thanks again and I'm open to substitute fabrics with the same color scheme that is not necessarily a stripe. I love kitchens with relatively neutral choices and bold fabrics.

my3dogs, that's it! The fabric I have looks like linen but it doesn't have any info printed on the selvage like some fabrics. Does acrylic look like linen? A search for swavelle mill creek fabrics will give me a starting place. I love this pattern more and more. I hope I can find it.

Hi, Equest, I was just in Hancock fabrics today and they have some similar flocked fabrics to the one you're looking for (in the Eau Claire, WI store). I don't recall if they have that exact one, but I was looking through all of the upholstery fabrics and they had at least two flocked with black that caught my eye and were gorgeous. These fabrics were still on rolls in the "current" fabrics; not on remnant tables or anything. In addition, most of the upholstery fabrics are 40% off right now through 2/23, I think.

The store's telephone number is 715-832-1255. You may be able to send a photo of the fabric to them or fax a photocopy and they'd see if they have a match. I can look in person, too. I might be going to Eau Claire on Thursday; it's 45 minutes away, so I don't go super often. Let me know if you want me to look.

If you turn the second photo upside down I'm sure you'll find that it's a match to the one you are looking for. Did it say where you could purchase it? It's gorgeous fabric.

Folkvic, I found it! I feel rather silly, because I located it at the Hancock website after your suggestion. I had looked at my local store, but I guess they carry different bolts. Since what I found was only a remnant, I assumed it was no longer available from them.

It's the Diderot Black Decorator Fabric Item# 1884196 on the Hancock website. It doesn't say anything about flocked and the photo is from so far away I almost didn't recognized the pattern (their stock photo definitely doesn't do it justice). And it's only $18 a yard right now! Thank you all for your help!

Oh I'm happy you found it. You're right, the pic from the website shows nothing of how gorgeous it really is.

I saw this fabric at a discount fabric store. However, I don't remember the name of it but the price was $10.95 a yard. I remember thinking what gorgeous drapes it would make. I love black and white together.

Good choice equest!

I'm so glad you found it, Equest! I checked the Hancock Fabrics website, too, but didn't see it....probably didn't look long enough! What's your project going to be? We can't wait to see pics (hint, hint!).

It might take me a little while to get to it (I have to finish laying the flooring in two rooms first ;-), but I have a drapery project planned with the material. I'm just glad I can get all the fabric I need!

Does anyone know if this fabric is still available anywhere? I am in desperate need of one yard. I used this years ago for my bedroom set and am moving to a new house. I need to make one more curtain panel. Please help!!!
Thanks in advance.
