Outback Wife is the debut collection of Cathi Bessell-Browne, the hands and heart behind Gertrude Maude. Inspired by the beautiful floral barkcloth fabrics of the 1940's and 1950's each fabric has a distinct vintage feel. Outback Wife is an ode to the strength, passion and courage of rural women across Australia. It is the texture of the cloth, rather than the fibre of the fabric itself which gives Barkcloth its distinctive appearance. Barkcloth doesn’t appear to have a wale (rib) or distinct weave, which results in a rough, textured appearance reminiscent of tree bark. Popular for Hone Decor / Furnishings but can be used to great effect in clothes too ! The fabric is not treated with fire-retardant, and is therefore not intended for use in children's sleepwear.
