MCML has six pieces of vintage fabric for sale, woven by Marion Martin in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This is a rare opportunity to purchase quality, hand woven fabric, in large enough quantities for making garments or other significant pieces.
This fabric was donated to MCML several years ago to sell as a fundraiser.
Note: Close up images show 1/2″ x 1/2″ squares of the fabric.
- In-Person viewing of the fabric will be October 11-14. Please visit the C2 Centre for Craft from noon – 4pm on these days to see the fabric in person.
- Sale of the fabric will be on Sunday, October 15, at the Destash event.
- We will not be cutting the fabric into smaller pieces – purchasers must buy the whole piece.
- We are open to reasonable offers on the fabric.
- All proceeds will support the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library
