not vintage but still cool

Fillmore Multi-Color /Silver Metallic Trim This trim is very special. A flower is embroidered in multi-colored thread on a black background & is surrounded by silver scrolls, dots & tiny silver flowers. The delicate & intricate design, made with shiny threads, reflects light & is sure to attract attention. We were unable to capture the depth & detail in the photographs. Please note: I believe this trim to be of relatively recent manufacture. But I have a lot of it, and thought it was too cool not to list. The low price reflects the fact that it's not old. We nicknamed this trim Fillmore after the legendary San Francisco music venue which was famous for psychedelic music & light shows. It's 1.5" wide. 10 yards available. $3/yard.
