Seeking Vintage Tiki Patterns

Aloha! I have mostly lurked, but have a need so great that it has sprung me into action. I have just purchased a beautiful Heywood Wakefield sofa...it's refinished and has comfy cushions. However, it was also covered in 1972 with this gawd-awful country crafts floral upholstery. I would love to find the best source of affordable (for me, under $30 a yard) fabric, barkcloth preferred. I'm new to this, so either reply on the forum or private message me...email me at [email protected] or friend me on the facebooks:

Welcome to Tiki Central. A very good online source for fabrics is Fashion Fabrics Club. Many upholstery fabrics. Maybe they have something you'd find suitable.

Fancy meeting you here!

I can't remember which place I purchased fabric from online, but here are a couple sites I remember looking at:

http://www.barkclothhawaii.com/

http://www.hawaiianfabric.com/content/barkcloth.cfm

Here is one: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=123765&sid=31U9Hz2is5JoEL4-00111509150.f7
here is their whole tropical print section: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_main.html?catid=26&start=1&sid=31U9Hz2is5JoEL4-01111571550.d5

http://www.jandofabrics.com/products.asp?id=181 Some of their best ones are no longer available on the site (IMO)

I should really stop searching before I post replies. Here's another: http://www.tonicliving.com/productslist.asp?categoryid=14&onsale=0
