This is an early 1900s cotton mattress ticking fabric remnant, featuring a pleasing arrangement of soft blue, muted red, and creamy white stripes in varying widths. The pattern is classic and timeless, well-suited to primitive and farmhouse-style projects.

Originally used as mattress ticking, the fabric has a sturdy hand typical of utilitarian textiles of the period. It remains in good usable condition, with honest wear consistent with age and prior use.

This is a remnant piece with cuts along one side. There are three heart-shaped cutouts along one edge, each contributing to a missing section measuring approximately 15″ across by 13″ long. The opposite side remains intact.

**Measurements:**

* Length: 108″ on edge with no cuts / other edge would have cuts
* Width (full side): 30″
* Width (cut side): approx. 17″

**Condition:**
Good antique condition overall with expected signs of use. The cut areas are noted above; otherwise, the fabric displays well with strong color and structure remaining.

A wonderful piece for small sewing projects, patchwork, pillow covers, or adding an authentic antique textile touch to your home. Perfect for folding and displaying in a basket or on a shelf.

This collection features a variety of period cotton textiles including dimity (a lightweight cotton with subtle woven texture), polished cotton (finished for a soft sheen), voile (fine and airy), and flannel (softly brushed for warmth). Together, they offer a delightful study in early 20th-century domestic fabrics—practical, pretty, and enduring.

**Condition:**
Overall, the fabrics are in good vintage condition. Some pieces show light wear consistent with age, including small holes and areas of oxidation, particularly in the voile. Several pieces remain unused. Please review measurements carefully, as many are irregular remnants.

**A Collector’s Note:**
Fabric remnants such as these were seldom discarded in their time, but rather saved carefully for mending, quilting, or small household makes. This assortment reflects that spirit of thrift and creativity—each piece a small surviving fragment of everyday life, ready to be reimagined once more.

This vintage ticking textile dates, in my opinion, to approximately the 1940s. Woven in a classic blue and creamy white narrow stripe measuring 1/8″ in width, the fabric is a pleasing medium weight cotton — sturdy yet supple — traditionally used for mattress covers, pillows, and utility household sewing.

This particular piece was at one time a mattress cover but the fabric was remade into a pillow cover. The original joined seam was left intact when this remnant was sewn into a cover, suggesting practical construction rather than alteration for heavy use. The overall condition indicates it was likely stored or lightly kept rather than regularly used.

The piece measures 20 inches wide by 25 inches long and has been sewn into a simple cover from what appears to have originally been a remnant length. Running horizontally from side to side is a constructed seam where the pieces were joined. You will notice slight puckering along this seam, consistent with stitching tension and age. This is not a tear or repair, but part of the sewn construction.

The fabric remains in very nice vintage condition with no stains, holes, or notable damage observed. The weave is sound, the stripe crisp, and the color retains its attractive depth.

Included with this piece are two other remnants pieces cut from the old tick. Both pieces are 25″ in length. The width of the one is 10″ wide. The other is 12″ wide.

**Measurements: for cover**
20″ wide
25″ long
Stripe width: approximately 1/8″

Perfect for primitive decor, bolster pillows, chair pads, or for repurposing into smaller farmhouse sewing projects. It also displays beautifully folded in a textile stack, offering that unmistakable early mid-century country charm.

**Collector’s Note:**
Striped cotton ticking of this weight and stripe scale was widely used in American homes in the 1930s–1940s for practical bedding and household textiles. The narrow stripe and medium weave are consistent with utilitarian domestic production of the period.
