There is something about the colors from the 1930's and 1940's that I am drawn to. I just love the fabrics from that time. Here are some that I like!
This one reminds me of bubbles...The tone of green is gorgeous! Its a fun pattern.
I like the blue background. Very cheerful. No gloominess here! A summer dress made of this material would be sweet!
Tiny geometrics with tiny roses. I can see this as cafe curtains tied with red ribbon in a retro red kitchen. It would give the room a cozy feminine feel. Laying on the kitchen table are the cooking tools with red wooden handles.
