Five & Dime Vintage Christmas Fabric

Remember the colorful ornaments, candy, wrapping paper, and decorations of Christmases past? Five & Dime by Patrick Lose captures that nostalgic holiday feeling in a wonderfully playful collection of vintage Christmas fabric.

Old-fashioned glass ornaments, starbursts, candy canes, peppermints, gifts, ribbons, bows, holly, berries, and geometric designs come together in a classic Christmas palette with plenty of retro personality.

Retro Christmas Fabric

Five & Dime has the unmistakable character of retro Christmas fabric. Bold reds and greens, black backgrounds, creamy neutrals, whimsical geometrics, and vintage-inspired holiday motifs give these prints the feeling of treasured Christmas decorations and wrapping paper rediscovered from decades past.

Use the prints together for a completely retro Christmas project or mix individual designs with coordinating solids and tonals.

Vintage Christmas Ornament Fabric

Colorful ornaments are one of the signature motifs in Five & Dime. Shiny, old-fashioned glass Christmas ornamentsappear in several designs, from tossed ornaments on a light background to densely packed ornaments bursting with nostalgic color.

There's even coordinating ornament fabric available in both standard-width yardage and 108" wide backing, making it possible to carry the vintage ornament theme all the way through a quilt.

Candy Canes, Peppermints & Christmas Sweets

Nothing brings back old-fashioned Christmas memories quite like holiday candy. Five & Dime includes playful candy canes, peppermints, and colorful Christmas sweets in cheerful red, green, cream, and other festive colors.

These smaller-scale designs make fun coordinates for quilt blocks, borders, bindings, bags, table runners, and other Christmas projects.

Gifts, Ribbons & Bows

Christmas presents become part of the fabric itself with gifts, ribbons, bows, tags, and wrapping-inspired designs.

These festive prints reinforce Five & Dime's nostalgic personality and work especially well alongside the collection's ornaments, candy, holly, and retro geometric coordinates.

Holly & Berry Christmas Fabric

Classic holly and berries bring a traditional botanical element into this otherwise playful retro collection. Bright red berries and green holly leaves provide an easy bridge between the novelty prints and more traditional Christmas projects.

Pair the holly with ornaments, stripes, starbursts, and other Five & Dime designs for a coordinated holiday quilt.

Retro Starbursts & Geometric Christmas Prints

Some of my favorite coordinates in Five & Dime are the retro starbursts and geometric designs. They give the collection that distinctive mid-century feeling without requiring every print to feature an obvious Christmas object.

These smaller-scale coordinates are especially useful for quilt blocks, backgrounds, borders, bindings, and other areas where a large novelty print might be too busy.

Vintage Christmas Stripes

The collection also includes colorful linear and geometric designs reminiscent of vintage Christmas wrapping paper and decorations.

Stripes and directional prints are especially useful for borders, bindings, sashing, and fussy cutting when you want to emphasize the geometry of the design.

Christmas Fabric with Black Backgrounds

The use of black is one of the things that makes Five & Dime particularly striking. Bright reds, greens, creams, and golds seem to pop against the dark backgrounds, giving the vintage Christmas motifs extra contrast.

Black also keeps the collection from becoming overly sweet and reinforces its bold retro character.

Five & Dime 108" Wide Backing Fabric

Finish your Christmas quilt with coordinating 108" wide backing fabric featuring the collection's colorful vintage ornaments.

The ornament design is available as both standard-width yardage and an extra-wide quilt backing, allowing you to carry the same nostalgic motif from the front of your project to the back. Wide backing can also eliminate or substantially reduce the number of seams needed to back a larger quilt.

What Can You Make with Five & Dime Fabric?

Five & Dime is perfect for Christmas quilts, table runners, table toppers, placemats, stockings, tree skirts, pillows, wall hangings, fabric baskets, bags, and handmade Christmas gifts.

Mix the novelty prints with the collection's smaller-scale starbursts, stripes, holly, and geometric coordinates for a project that feels wonderfully nostalgic without sacrificing contrast and variety.
