If you have read much of my blog then you know I collect vintage christmas stuff with abandon. You would also know that I adore vintage textiles, so OF COURSE I collect vintage christmas fabrics.
In fact my collection is quite extensive.
Over at True Up it's nothing but christmas prints from now through Dec 25. They also have a flickr pool for fabrics and you can see more there.
I snapped pics of my collection to share here, pardon the creases!
I saved the best for last, this is one is my absolute fav.
I just made a tote bag from this fabric. I love polka dots too. ya think.
These fabrics are just so whimsical and fun. They are almost all border prints and they were sold as yardage. Often they were made into curtains, pillowcases and of course aprons.
oh wow, i’m positively GREEN! Great collection 😉

I kept finding a favorite (candy canes in baskets) and then another (Season’s Greetings) and another (Christmas in every language) and another (the snowmen) … they are wonderful. The only one I have is the last of your Santa border prints – the pillowcase I slept on when I was a kid. Great post!

I’m a huge polka dot fan myself and the bag is gorgeous. As are the fabrics. I love the pink with the red and green. I don’t collect Christmas fabrics but I just bought an apron made with the kitten in a stocking border print – so cute. Thanks for sharing your collection!
