Day 120


This is a part of an old traditional costume.  (<- click)
We call this red and white colored fabric "Melk en bloed".
(Milk and blood).  I don't know how old this piece is but probably around 1900. (maybe I'm wrong) 
I love it and wish I could buy a few yards of this fabric.

    Thanks for the link. It was very interesting to read. Wouldn't it be lovely to have more of that fabric?

    Hi Lucy,
    there is a Dutch shop called 'Stegemans' in Rouveen in The Netherlands which sells that kind of fabric. Don't know it's exactly the same pattern, but maybe you could contact them and send a picture. Here's the link http://www.stegemanstextiel.nl/
