How to date a fabric find
#1
You know your fabric is from the 60's when you find a pair of hiphugging bell bottoms that were homemade by the person who had the fabric. I don't think I ever saw a pair of bell bottoms where the "bell's" were this big but I had to laugh as I certainly had some of these but they weren't made of gingham and the bell's weren't this big.

Have you seen the paisley fabric out there now? I have pictures of my ex from the 60's with ugly paisley pants. I made my first pair of bell bottoms in 66 and had guys ask me to sew some for them. I did not make any for them.
