Default Looking for 70s fabric

Can anyone help me. I need to know a few websites I can look at to find some fabric dating back to the 70s. Thank you so much.

etsy sellers often have vintage fabrics.

be careful though...sometimes they can be insanely expensive.

depending on what you are looking for and why, there are lots of repro fabrics from all eras. and then there's thrifting. so if you are looking for 70's colourways lots of people send their old linens to goodwill etc.

Come over to my place, I have tons of them. Mostly what you will find are old VIP prints and Cranston. To me, they look most like what I would call calicos. There were NOT the number of manufacturers as there are now a day.

I doubt that you will find actual 70's fabric in any shops...but I would think Ebay or Etsy would be good locations for finding some. Just look under Vintage fabrics.

Have I got a piece of fabric for you! Kittens and puppies on a cream background, kittens and puppies are red and blue. I don't know the manufacturer off the top of my head but it is from 1972 or 1974. The date is on the selvedge.

It's for a friend. It is a retro california troll doll white fabric. We found some on Etsy. But it's only fat quarters.

Carmen,
I may have that fabric. Can you send a link to the picture? Mine is colorful troll dolls on a white background. I purchased it at a garage sale a couple of months ago. How much yardage do you need? Tomorrow I am at guild charity quilting, but will be home in the late afternoon.
