Kaftan

Michelle or others - do you think i could use this linen for a kaftan?

Wide-legged pants

I made the most wonderful pair of wide-legged pants from this fabric. I always receive compliments on them!

4C22 Very nice

Pack nice looks good looking forward to making my frist dress, suit, robe for feast

Beautiful dark green

The IL019 is a beautiful green, very similar to Ralph Lauren Hunter Green, more blue than yellow as greens go. The weight is perfect for clothing, bedding, tablecloths, napkins, you name it! I plan to make a gathered box spring cover, but who knows? I may have to wear this!

Lovely fabric

I used this fabric to make a kirtle for a costume. It is lightweight but not too light very soft against the skin, and the colour is a beautiful brilliant green similar to the light green found in some 14th century paintings.

True color

This fabric is very much like the picture and is one of my favorite colors of all time. The texture was beautiful, falling with grace and soft to the touch.

Rustic Linen

I found this to be a slubby, rustic looking linen. Because of the slubs, I find it difficult to draw threads for hemstitching. However, it makes good rustic tablecloths and table decor items. It takes to large-scale crewel embroidery.

Wonderful lightweight linen

I used this lightweight, gauzy linen to make a mobcap and fichu for a costume. The items were nearly weightless and did not make me hot, as I had feared they might. I used YLI Heirloom thread in white, size 100 to hand-hem the items, and the stitches are really invisible. This would be a great fabric to combine with laces for collars, cuffs, and baby items. It would also be very effective for ruffles.

Wonderful all-purpose linen

I have used this linen to make summer bedding items. For summer sheets and pillowcases it can´t be surpassed. It is easy to work with, sturdy and hard-wearing, and very comfortable against my skin. I made several summer "blankets" using a two-yard length, turning a narrow edge, and working a single crochet edge in pastel colors. This linen BREATHES and is very comfortable.

Excellent linen

I have used this linen fabric to make summer sleepwear, and plan to make more! Unlike some "fashion" linens I have purchased, this wonderful fabric BREATHES and makes me much more comfortable in hot weather.

order a swatch first

I agree with the reviewer that this color is closer to a sort of rust/orange red than a pink. On my monitor the color appears to be more of a dusky rose. I ordered fabric before ordering a swatch of this color & while the color is pretty it is not what I was hoping for. I don´t know who names colors but it´s misleading to call this "rose."

love love this fabric

this is absolutely wonderful linen fabric for all sorts of sewing--clothes and general crafting, purses, totes. I only wish I could make pants as this would work for those as well as dresses, skirts, etc. Makes great tea towels and aprons too!

Economical & versatile

Originally I bought yardage of IL014 to make Roman shades for my living room. I had some substantial-sized scraps which I dug out when I got bit by the tie-dye bug. I made napkins, dishcloths, and placemats! Great fun! I tried dishtowels, but the fabric, while absorbent, was not sufficiently dense. The towels got soaked too quickly, so I made them into placemats. . . then made more placemats! IL014 is loosely woven and rather coarse. It is soft and absorbent enough for napkins but I wouldn´t recommend it for bedding. It´s fairly translucent and would need to be lined or layered for clothing use.

Just feels good!

IL019 takes dye beautifully and is just an all-around excellent fabric, being both versatile and economical. Sleeping under my new duvet cover, I just want to keep touching the fabric. It isn´t super-soft, but it has a pleasing texture that makes my skin happy! Somehow it feels better than plush synthetics.

TROUSERS & HAVERSACK

I have used this for 1750s &rev war trowsers . I also use it for linen haversacks its strong and has a period look. great linen. . BLUE BOX SUTLERY

Beautiful Linen! --- #1C64

Received my first order of linen to make altar linens for our church. After washing it twice and drying, the linen was a dream to sew! Since I had never purchased linen on-line, I didn´t know what to expect. It is a quality fabric and I will be back as a repeat customer. Many thanks for your store. P.S. I showed one completed linen (purificator) to my pastor to see if he approved. He loved it! Good thing, I bought 15 yards. ;)

Nice fabric, very bright purple

This is a very nice fabric, with a good feel and softness to it, but the color was much to bright for me to use for my project. I would say the purple color is much closer to a bright grape purple, would be perfect for kids gypsy costume, but not what I needed it for.

17th century work coat

I just finished a 17th century work coat made with this linen . It was great to work with and kept its color after a wash . best of all costumer was very happy with it . thank you bluebox sutlery

17th century shirt

I USED THIS TO MAKE A 17TH CENTURY SHIRT FOR A CUSTOMER IT IS A GREAT WIGHT LINEN TO WORK WITH. SOFT BUT NOT TO SOFT . I WILL USE AGAIN .

Top Quality Linen!

When you combine top quality linen, great prices and excellent customer service, you have got a winner. I have been purchasing linen in the 3 oz and 5 oz weights from fabrics-store for 6 years and it´s consistently been a pleasure both in order process and after receipt.

Worked out nicely

Nice stuff. Didn´t check to make sure I got the correct yardage. Will next time. Made beautiful napkins!

Nice Golden Hue

The color of this fabric is actually more yellow than it appears on the website, at least on my monitor. It has a very nice feel and it looks better than I expected- I was picturing it as looking more like sacking but it is much more refined. Gorgeous!

Beautiful Warm Brown

This is a really lovely color! It´s actually a warmer, richer color than it appears to be on the website, which is exactly what I wanted- I´m glad I ordered a swatch or I might never have bought it. It also has a wonderful feel, very soft. It´s turning into a very pretty 18th century petticoat.

color too light

I bought this hoping to combine it with wildcherry and it turned out to be almost the exact same color, much lighter than what is on the website. It is a beautiful fabric and I do love the color, but am dissapointed that it is so much lighter than what it seemed.

Perfect!

I ordered this fabric to make a working class 18th century shift, and it has been a dream to work with. I´d never sewn linen before, and it is just perfect for hand-sewing. It was wonderfully soft on arrival and it has only gotten softer with washing and use. There are very few slubs, but enough to make the piece still look "period." I´ll be ordering more colors for my petticoats soon!

Great Heavy Natural Linen

I purchased this linen for an 18th century farmer´s style frock for my husband. It sewed up like a dream and he loves it! He looked great when we went to Fort Ticonderoga and Old Fort Niagara and will only look better as it is washed a few more times and gets that "aged" look. Great for hunting frocks with fringe because it is heavier than most and also good for bags, hats, etc. Thanks for this heavier weight!

Nice Color

As of 7/26/08 the color in the picture here is a bit lighter than the actual fabric. I have contacted the website and they said they would update it. It is still a very nice color purple. Make sure you wash this at least 3 times in HOT water. This color ran like a stuck pig through 2 hot washes, although, I believe it was just extra color running out. Very nice color and I look forward to using it very soon!

A perfect match

I wanted to make a striped petticoat for an 18th century polonaise gown with IL044-515 and I wanted the polonaise gown to be a matching blue. Silver blue matches the blue in that fabric almost perfectly. And after making 2 petticoats with linen I can´t wait to make the polonaise. Linen is so easy to sew with!

Reenactor Heaven

I can´t get enough of Fabrics-store.com´s beautiful linen. Krista natural was purchased to make a 18th/Colonial shirt for my husband. It was the first 100% linen fabric I have ever worked with. It gathered beautifully and was easily finger pressed or iron pressed into place. I don´t think I´ll ever find a fabric as enjoyable to work with as linen. It made even the difficult parts of sewing easier!

Sticky Note Yellow

I found this to be the same color yellow as your average set of Post-it-Notes. I made a 18th Century petticoat out of it (following the directions on the blog!). I can´t describe to you how lightweight and airy it is here in the SC heat. And it´s also so soft on my skin. I love it!

Striped Masterpiece

I love the colors and feel of this fabric! It´s striped with pale blue, pink, yellow, green, and cream. I bought this for an 18th century middle class petticoat. It´s gorgeous and feels so wonderfully light in the 90 degree weather here in SC. It would also be a beautiful table runner or place mat´s with IL019 in Silver Blue as a Table Cloth. Their blues match almost perfectly. However, you could use a color matching any of the stripes for the table cloth as well. I´m really thinking about ordering more for that table runner and for a contemporary dress.

Makes Great Linen Sheets

Cotton sheets will feel warm to the touch when the night just will not cool down. Back in 2004 I had slept on pure linen sheets at a friend´s house, bought in Europe--they were heavier than any available here in the US, but were absolutely luxurious. I made sure I weighed them before I left Baton Rouge. I found that IL077 was closest to the weight of that linen (but is not as open a weave), so I made some sheets for a single futon out of this fabric. It has moderate linting, washes easily in hot water with Ecos Ultra Free and Clear laundry soap and Ecover fabric softener. I tried other linen weights available on this site but none gave me the feel of those sheets of 2004 than IL077. Shrinkage was about 11% after 8 pre-washes and the width dropped to 57" after the first wash. Do not worry about ironing these sheets, most wrinkles will relax with this heavier weight linen. Besides, comfort will trump appearance when it comes to getting a good night´s sleep. Linen is the only thing worth sleeping on during those hot, humid summer nights without an air-conditioner, as it handles the 90 degrees at 10 pm equally as well as the 63 degrees at 4 am without waking you up. Too bad this doesn´t come in 95-100" widths for a double bed. If you can stand seams at the edges to add width, it could be used to make sheets for the double bed. Be sure to make pillowcases, too since linen feels much cooler than cotton on your head, too. Since pure linen sheet sets tend to start at about $300 per set online (and all advertise as light weight linen, none with this heavy a weight), this fabric is a bargain at about $50 for a twin set and <$100 for a double bed of any size. And linen will last and last and last. Just do not use chlorine bleach, because chlorine will break down natural fibers--best is an enzyme bleach (e.g. Biz) once in a while.

Probably not meant to be used for this but..It is GREAT!

I made a nightgown, a simple shift, from a pattern for a shirtdress, minus the belt, no collar, short sleeves, added an inch to the width to be sure I could pull it over my head. It is the best fabric I have found for this purpose when you have to sleep through those hot, humid, summer nights. This one is probably better than the more tightly woven lighter linen fabrics that you see in manufactured linen sheets and blouses, since it is so loosely woven. I pre-washed it in hot water 7 times and in Ecos Ultra Free and Clear laundry soap (I NEVER use detergent) only for the last wash, shrinkage was about 9% in length, it dropped from 60" wide to 54" in the first wash (but can be ironed back to about 56"). This heavier linen tends to lose sharp wrinkles, making the fabric just look relaxed. It feels like it should be scratchy to feel (even with softener--it lints a great deal) but is so comfortable when you use a natural fabric softener such as Ecover. Linen is the only thing worth sleeping on. I slept on IL077 bleached white sheets on a single futon and fell in love with linen (the heavier linen) sheets--see my comments on that linen fabric. So I decided to ditch the cotton jersey nightgown for a linen nightgown and will never go back. What they say about linen is correct--warm in winter, cool in summer, so it keeps on working well as the house cools down through the night. I guess it works because it is so loosely woven and not tightly knit as jersey, but cotton woven sheets are just too hot in these summers. Maybe cotton only works well in icy cold refrigerated rooms.

Museum "Bed-hangings" Project

Bought this fabric to complete our colonial "bed-hangings" project at the Josiah Dennis Manse Museum in Dennis, on Cape Cod. We have finished the crewel embroidery on the valence using fabric woven by one of our docents. The backing and the canopy fabrics are of donated antique linen, and this purchased fabric will be used for the curtains and headboard panel on our 1735 pencil post bed. The colors of all these fabrics blend perfectly! I´ll send a picture when we get the bed "finely dressed" for our June 21st opening.

blue and white stripes

The fabric is beautiful. I am involved in 1820´s living history and wore a bib front dress at the last event and everyone was complimenting me on my dress and fabric. They asked me where I bought the fabric. Now, I have to find something else to make.... Penny

Beautiful colors

I used this linen to make an unlined jacket for my aunt. It has all the qualities we love in linen (holds a crease, nice drape, malleable, etc.), Additionally, the colors are SO pretty. It´s a yard-dye done in a combination of pale aqua with kind of a dark lavender (not a royal purple). The overall effect is cheerful yet classic, great for summer!

good lightweight linen

This "softened" IL020 is a superb fabric. I have bought handkerchief weight linen from several other online stores, and although their product has been perfectly acceptable, fabric-store´s is better. It is woven with much finer threads than you usually see, so the washed and dried linen winds up being closer to good shirtweight fabric--nothing rustic about it. In addition, it seems to have a longer staple, in that almost no lint or fuzz came out when I treated it to two vigorous machine wash and dry sessions before working with it. Finally, fabric-store´s shipping speed is unbelievably fast: I ordered on Monday; my package arrived on Wednesday! Hard to beat that. I´ll be buying here again, and will post a positive report on a couple of sewing bulletin boards where I´m a member.

Beautiful fabric!

Saturated color, great to work with. I love this fabric. Makes great handbags. Checkout our bags with this and other linen fabrics at www.aandvdesigns.etsy.com

Brighter lighter than photographed

It may be my monitor, but in general all fabrics I´ve ordered from fabrics-store.com are a shade lighter than photographed. The fuscia pink is more a hot pink. The browner tones are more avocado and harvest gold or mustard. FYI. Very much like the photo of a previous customer´s project using this as a blouse.

Great shade

I matched this with the yarn dye light purple and white linen IL044-256. It makes a wonderful contrast of dark and light. It´s definitely a grape - not a wine or blue purple. It´s also an elegant "adult" purple in my opinion. It doesn´t scream elementary school crayon purple... It´s not too stiff nor too soft.

pleasantly surprised

I was excited to see this fabric up close- and it did not disappoint. It has a a wonderful weave and texture- but is surprisingly smooth. There are the typical inconsistencies in a weave, which add to the interest and texture: gatherings and catches of concentrated purple and white- but it is an overall tight weave leaving it to seem almost as if the fabric was pressed and lightly starched! Love it. The actual color is more pale lavender overall than purple (at least on my PC monitor the swatch seems more of a darker purple shade.) This is in no way a detraction- I´d just say the white is a more dominant color of the two in this weave, rather than the purple.

perfect for chemises!

This is THE best chemise fabric, ever! It is beautifully soft against the skin; a perfect foundation layer! This is all I will ever use!

Best Red

I love this fabric! It is a medium weight and was easy to work with. I have washed the dress I made from it several times and it still looks wonderful. I will be ordering more in other colors

Fantastic

Both the color and the weight of this fabric is fantastic! I washed it a couple of times and now it has a very soft hand and the fibers have expanded a bit. I am very pleased with both the quality of the fabric and the quality of the service I received from Fabrics-Store.com.

So Soft!

I bought this on the 20 yard bolt special. It has washed up very well and is extremely soft. IL019 is a wonderful fabric!

Gorgeous color and feel

This fabric arrives nearly as bright blue as I see it on the monitor, but when it washes fades down to a nice medium blue and is SO soft. It was originally purchased to use on a hat, but will be used as the lining for the bodice of my doublet-style Elizabethan, and I bought extra to make into other items, with blue being a favorite color of both myself and my husband

Thank You

Last Spring I wrote an email requesting that you stock a good royal purple. I admit I wasn´t confident so prepared to goad my local sewing/costuming friends into writing as well. That same day you sent a reply asking if I had a swatch of the desired color. I mailed it out and a week later you told me that you´d forward it to the dye house, and would try. Thank you! thank you! Thank you so much for providing a source for this beautiful vibrant hue. It´s been so difficult to find any royal purple linen. I bought some the first week you had it available. It´s held it´s color through 2 hot(nuclear) pre-washes and it´s time in the dryer only made it softer. It loses about 7% in the pre-shrinking so folk should remember that when ordering. It´s ready to cut...I can´t wait. It´s also wonderfully compatible with your other colors. For re-enactment purposes, it goes so well with the Autumn Gold IL019. Thank you again for your responsive attention. It´s the most sterling example of your excellent customer service. You´re my favorite shop, and the first place I look to or recommend to my friends. Keep up the great work

Loved It!

I made a spartan cape replica from the movie 300 for my fiancé. He loves the fabric because it´s light, and it moves and looks a lot like the movie. My brother loves it, too, and now he wants one. It is lighter than the picture, though.

For SCA rapier armor...

...it works pretty well. Two layers *just* pass the drop test, so I made a simple Viking-style overtunic out of 3 layers for my armor. It is a bit stiff but seems to get better with washing.

Wonderful Drape

I wanted to make some of the loose, comfortable styles in linen by Esk*nder and Zor*n that go for rather too high a price. I also wanted a high quality of construction and to flatter my short waisted figure, in colors I like. After washing, tumble drying several times, I cut out the vineyard green (color exact on my monitor)for a long, sleeveless tunic and the ginger in flat-front one-seams and a SW San Diego Jacket. Wow! I was expecting a softer hand due to the treatment and the washing, but it has a drape unlike any linen I have ever worn. It was beautiful to sew and press. It does not stand out stiffly away from my body adding pounds. Easy care (no ironing) as I took extra care with seams and hems. This is the best wardrobe for the high desert. Thrilled.

Love it!

Gorgeous print, colors will not fade. A little stiff but does not wrinkle. I love wearing it even in humid hot Florida summer.

beautiful!

I agree with the other two reviews...this fabric is really beautiful. It�s light-weight but not flimsy, see-through or easily wrinkled. I expect to make a beautiful summer dress out of it. The price, quality and speed of delivery was outstanding.

If only...

The color is a bit less bright than what the picture displays, but I must say I prefer the actual color to that on the screen. It�s sort of a dark periwinkle. It�s exceptionally flowy, but not as soft as I imagined, but that�s because I am disillusioned and was envisioning fleece kind of soft rather than linen kind of soft. This is fantastic fabric, and I�m definitely going to buy more fabric from here! If only I had the right color of thread to go with it...

Very soft, fluid, sheer linen

This is a beautiful linen with a very soft hand. It is one of the finest they have to offer. I�ve returned to purchase it a third time. It has a denim blue stripes.

Elegance

This 100% Linen Fabric is very cool, light, and elegant. Looking at it on the web, looks cheap but when I received it, it looks and feels great. It�s worth the price and I rate this product a 5 star. I loved it so much, I ordered another color. The fabric sews good and I recommend it to everyone.

A goodly linen for lining an Elizabethan gown!

This linen is wonderful! The most amazing, sunny yellow color. The swatch on the website simply does not do it justice. I have two gowns entirely lined in this particular linen, and I love it! When it is washed, it is soft, and comfy, and the perfect period lining. The gown shown at right uses a number of linen fabrics from Fabrics-Store.Com. I wouldn�t dream of buying my linen anywhere else, and I suggest you buy yours here too! Happy sewing, and best wishes, Dame Eleanor of Leycestershyre, also known as Gina.

Love it!

I just made a blouse out of this fabric, and I love the color. It�s a cross-weave with a kelly green thread running one direction, and and a pale blue thread running the other direction, so the overall effect is kind of a muted turquoise, or perhaps muted teal. If you look at a spool of Coats & Clark thread in the \"Bahama\" color, it blends perfectly. I did my topstitching in a pale seafoam green color, so it would show up, and then I used the Bahama thread for the buttonholes and hand stitching, and the thread just practically disappears, it blends so well.

Another great basic.

I made a pair of pants out of this 6-ounce linen (picture posted). I washed and dried it twice before cutting out my pattern. I made a wide-leg pair of pants (Simplicity 3880), and the linen drapes beautifully. The color is kind of a medium navy color, not so dark as to look black. In fact, it�s about the color of mid-range denim. Fabrics-store.com ALWAYS gives absolutely the BEST service of all the online fabric stores from which I order. I get the fabric in what seems an instant. I love opening the box and feeling the cool, crisp linens within. :o)

the POMEGRANATE is delicious!

The pomegranate color of red is beautifully deep and goes well with black or any yarn dye selection that has reds, mauve or black colors. I love all the IL020 3.5 oz weight for my garments I don�t want a heavy weighted down effect on. This makes a good ladies scarf as well. Once you wash it is becomes softer and drapes beautifully. I recommend Fabrics-store to anyone looking for great fabric at an affordable price. The customer service is excellent. they always take care of my needs when ever I call and I have never been dissatisfied in the years Ive been purchasing from them..

Beautiful Look and Feels so soft!

I was looking for a good Navy for my shawls and thought I would try the cobalt.. This fabric is more than meets the eye online.. in hand it is exquisite! The color is a dark indigo "navy" blue..

BAVARIAN GREEN LINEN

GOOD GREEN COLOR FOR BAVARIAN GERMAN LINEN CLOTHING THE COLOR THAT IS SO COMMON IN BAVARIAN STYLE LINEN CLOTHING,NICE DRAPE AND HAND AGAIN IT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE FOREST GREEN COLOR TO WORK WITH THE BLACK, GREY AND TAN SHADES THAT ARE ALSO USED IN GERMAN LINEN CLOTHING THANK YOU

Thrilled

I placed my first order recently and have just received the fabrics. The colors are magnificent, the material is superb. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Thanks Irina and Oksana. I will be doing all of my linen fabric shopping with you. The free kitchen towel is very nice also.

Fabric Care

If the fabric is to be of good quality, why is it washable and not dry cleaned? From experience I never wash my suits or dresses if I spend over or nearly $10.00 per yd. for the fabric.

Wonderful texture

The fabric is soft with an absolutely beautiful drape to it. Just heavy enough to hang nicely, but light enough to breath. I�ve washed it several times with no color fading. The color is lighter than the picture but it is very rich and easy on the eyes.

seams better

I just purchased this fabric to make 17th century work shirts, it washed and dryed beautifully the color blue is a very nice indigo blue and the weight is perfect for this project.

Great for all but the sheerest garb

This linen is fairly slubby, but its bright white and light to medium in hand at a great price! It�s pretty soft on the skin once washed, it continues to get softer. It appears to be a chinese linen as it has a short fiber length, but the price is right!! I have used this for many an italian chemise, hats, linings, sleeves and more. At this price, its not too heavy but not heavy enough for breeches, but it would be ok, for braies (underwear) and any long wearing linen garment. I haven�t tried dying it just yet, be sure to get a \"reactive\" dye for plant fibers if you do.

Used for medieval garb

The color is the most pleasing, vibrant red! It is the same color tone as cardinal, yet with an added ping. I made a dagged cotehardie for a man and a liripipe hood from this material; it is crisp and firm yet remarkably breathable and airy. This is very comfortable to wear. It�s colorfast as well, I�ve washed the cotehardie 4 times and there�s no fading. I also prewashed twice before sewing. I�ve fielded queries on where I found the fabric each time I wear either piece. Well done!

Wonderful product

I had never ordered from this company before so didn�t know what to expect. I trusted the reviews of my fellow reenactors and am glad I did. This linen is fabulous. Way better than any I have bought from my local fabric store. Plus, I can trust that it is 100% linen, unlike my local fabric store who is known for mislabeling linen blends as 100%. I am now an enthusiastic customer who plans to buy from this company again and again!! I�ve also recommended this store to some others I know who sew reenactment clothing.

Wonderful peasant texture

I purchased 2 yards of this fabric with no specific project in mind for it, other than for Elizabethan peasant garb. I adore the color, the screen image is close enough to what I got, a slightly earthy red. The weave isn�t very dense, might need to line it with something else. (Good for the money, though.) I like the beautifully slubby texture for peasant cloth better than the finer IL081 6oz terracota (which is pumpkin colored, by the way.) However, if you are making garb for upper middle class or nobility, this linen is too coarse for your needs. I will definately be buying more of this for a kirtle or a skirt, and probably other colors in this weight (either the khaki or merlot) for my boyfriend�s garb, he loves the texture too.

I love this fabric

I just finished the embroidery on a late-Roman-period palla (large rectangular shawl) made from this fabric, and I loved working with it. The hand of the fabric has just the right amount of softness, I love the medium indigo-blue color, and it is very easy to embroider. The only problem -- and it was a small one -- was that the selvedge was somewhat rough along the inner edge and had to be trimmed off, and the fabric hemmed there instead of leaving the selvedge in place as I�d planned. Nevertheless, I will definitely be using this fabric for more reenactment clothing projects.

Classic Window Treatment

I made several window treatments for an art gallery from this fabric, it looks fabulous and the client LOVES it! Has a wonderful hand to it, I am looking forward to making up a medieval costume for myself with the remainder, it should be great. Will definitely buy from this store again!

Furnture Chairs

I was thinking to put this on my dinneroom chair and the kitchen chair too,because I paint the wall two trpeof green. The is Irish room with shamrock curtain.

Beautiful fabric, beautiful color

I ordered this fabric with hesitation, because it is a linen and cotton blend. I had ordered other fabrics from this site, but they were straight linen. I was concerned that the texture of the blend may not match the texture of the linen. However, I ordered it anyway because the color was perfect for the application I needed. I needn�t have worried. This is a beautiful fabric with a lovely hand. It�s texture is exactly like the straight linens I ordered. It�s a bit heavier than the others, but just to be more opaque. I am very happy with my purchase.

Pretty color

This is a wonderful fabric with a wonderful weight to it. The scan above shows it more as a truer soft blue, but it does have a bit of purple and a bit of grey in it. It�s a beautiful color. Very soft and really nice to look at. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for a blue that�s not so "blue"

Beautiful fabric

This fabric is a beautiful soft yellow. It is not too sheer, but sheer enough that it needs an underlining if you are using it against something darker. It is wonderful quality fabric. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a soft color such as this.

Beautiful fabric

WOW!! This is a gorgeous fabric with a wonderful texture. I am using it to make draperies, and it hangs beautifully on the rod. The color is not a stark white, so it is softer looking against the walls. I love this fabric. I will definitely be back to order more. Really gorgeous stuff. Thank you very much!

Good interlining

I used this fabric to interline my husband�s renaissance doublet. It�s weight worked very well for the job, and it wasn�t stiff. I used a nicer white linen (IL019) for the lining. Because both were linen, his doublet is comfortable to wear, even with the outer layer being black cotton velveteen. The fabric is a bit slubby, but it is a good weight and works well for what I used it for. If you need a stiffer linen, I would look for a different heavy linen.

window treatments

The IL019 black made beautiful drapes & roman shade for a man�s study in a house I am working on. Gorgeous! I washed some of the leftover & am making some garments out of it.

Beautiful fabric!

This is a fairly tightly woven jacquard weave cotton that has very little raveling as you�re working with it. The color in person (at least compared to the picture on my PC) is more of a pink-beige, or a pinkish mauve. It�s a beautiful color, even prettier than I expected. The fabric has nice body and a slight sheen. (I washed and dried it before cutting.)

Lovely pink linen

Wanted to let you know that I just ordered 9 yrs of the lovely pink linen (hyacinth) you offer. It is perfect the perfect color to for the drapes in one of my spare bedrooms. Thank you for the great service.

Perfect!

First, I�d like to commend you on your fast delivery, affordable prices, and your excellent customer service. Second, this is my first purchase from this website, and the first time I�ve ordered fabric that is exactly the color and texture I was looking for. The swatch on the screen is very close to what I was expecting, but even more pleasing to the eye in person. I can�t review on how the fabric will turn out after several washings because I haven�t finished my project yet. I will definitely revisit for more fabric.

Very Pretty

Nice fabric, great price, excellent shipping. I will buy from here again.

lint-y

I agree with the previous review, this is medium-heavy, not heavy weight fabric. This fabric lints a lot, creating mats of fiber that I had to hand-remove. After that - it�s gorgeous. Took the reactive dye beautifully & made a beautiful bedcover. Smooth, not scratchy.

Pink/Natural Linen Jacquard

This fabric is beautiful, even more so in person than in the photograph. It almost has a sheen to it. The photograph gives a good representation of the color. It is a beautiful suit weight jacquard weave in muted pink and natural. One thing that I really like about it (besides the weight) is that you can use either side of the fabric, depending on whether you want more of the natural color to show, or more of the pink.

darker than pictured online

I love this fabric... I use it quite often for my customers garments when they order the color blue.. It is more of dark indigo blue than a navy, but definietely the online picture is so much lighter than in hand.. this is close to navy in hand.

Bleeds!

Although this starts out as a beautiful color, this fabric bleeds like crazy even when washed in cold water with mild soap. It took multiple washes to get the extra dye out and still the wash water is light purple. I was hoping to use this to make a parti-colored surcote with white linen, but now I�m not so sure that I should chance it.

good for hand bags

It is very bright and not as deep as the picture depicts.. It is heavier than the L019 fabrics which I am used to working with but it has a very nice and breathable weave/texture to it. I love it and worked well with making a hand bag for one of my customers. www.zipporahreshel.com

nice

this is a nice color brown.. it looked more brick color to me on the sceen than the actual fabric in person.. it is light weight. The color went well with other darker green colors to make a mens garment. A good masculine color. Would be nice have in a heavier weight. but over all it worked great for the applique work I did with it.

shimmers

this is a beautiful yarn dye. I used it to make a prayer shawl combined with another darker green yarn dye fabric that had a similar light yellow threads in it and appliqu�d on the natural linen and it went beautifully with embroidery colors of sun yellow, royal blue and black threads. Depending on what angle you look at it, it slightly gives an illusion of shimmering the green vs the yellow threads.. the swatch online looks very accurate to the actual fabric I received.

Beautiful apricot linen

This has a crisp hand and is comparable to ILO19. It softens with machine washing and drying. The color is a medium apricot with natural linen threads. It is heavy enough for dresses and skirts, but I will probaly use it for a casual summer jacket. It could be used for pants, but I like a heavier pant fabric. This is a very beautiful fabric that I�m glad I bought.

Great bottom weight linen

This is a nice heavy linen in a black color. It has a soft linen hand for a heavy linen. I machine wash and dry all my linen. I made it in a fitted summer skirt. It�s heavy enough to wear without a slip (no show through). It is very cool and comfortable.

Beautiful midweight linen

IL019 is a midweight linen that arrives with a crisp hand before washing. It softens with washing and age. I machine wash and dry all my linen. This is heavier than ILO20. I successfully used it to make a pioneer reenactor dress (1845 Godey�s) for my daughter. I made it in brick pink which seems to be no longer available. What a beautiful color. IL019 fabric sews easily. It holds pleats well. It is suitable for dresses, blouses, and skirts. It is sheer enough that a slip may be necessary. I would hesitate to make it into a suit, but I could see making a casual summer jacket from it. It is somewhat light for pants unless lined or using a darker color, but I prefer a heavier fabric (6 oz plus) for bottom weights. I will buy this again.

Nice heavy linen for bottom weights

This is a nice heavy linen in a neutral taupe color. It has a soft linen hand for a heavy linen. I machine wash and dry all my linen. I made it in a fitted summer skirt. It�s heavy enough to wear without a slip (no show through). It is very cool and comfortable.

Lovely, pale pink almost ivory lace

This whisper pink is almost ivory in color. It accented beautifully with a brick pink linen. It also seemed to go well with off white lace. This is a light weight, beautiful linen. I love all the IL020 fabrics. It washes beautifully. They all soften over several washes. Those not called softened seem somewhat stiff until washed, but improve with washing. This has a soft hand with good drape for linen. This is suitable for lightweight blouses, lingerie, and other applications. You can�t go wrong buying this or any of the ILO20 fabrics. They are my favorites.

Beautiful, lightweight linen

This is suitable for lightweight blouses, lingerie, and other applications. You can�t go wrong buying this or any of the ILO20 fabrics. They are my favorites.

Soft butter yellow

As I�ve reviewed other ILO20 fabrics, this is also a soft fabric with wonderful drape. It improves with washing and age. The color is a soft butter yellow. The fabric is sheer, but not to the point of transparency. It is suitable for very lightweight blouses.

Beautiful, high quality linen

Fabulous

I have never sewed linen before and I made a skirt from this material. The fabric softened after I washed it and was wonderful to work with. The colors are so rich and the drape is fabulous. I would choose linen over all other materials!

Good fabric for 18th Century soldier�s fatigue shirt

While on campaign, British soldiers were allowed to wear a fatigue shirt which was described as "checked". This is a good weight for making such a shirt. 2 yards should be fine for an average-sized man, but get an extra yard if your soldier is big enough to be a Grenadier! Happy Sewing, Jane

Fabrics-Store.com/ only way to buy linen

This linen is absolutely beautiful, just what i wanted. To date, I have not been dissapointed with any linen that i purchased from you folks. So glad your there. I would not be able to afford it elsewhere !!! Thanks MaryAnn

Excellent Handkerchief Linen!

That says it all! I really like this fabric. It was thin, delicate, and held up well to drawn thread embroidery. It made an excellent, crisp, cap, and a soft, pleasing neckerchief. I hope, in the future, to buy it again!

WildCherry Crazy

I was looking for a color for a 14th century dress. I could not resist when I saw this color. The color in person is better than the picture. I am really pleased with IL019 Wildcherry.

Beautiful Red

When I ordered this fabric, I was unsure of what red I was going to get. As soon as the package arrived, I was so pleasently surprised to see such a beautiful red. I can not wait to make my projects with this linen.

beautiful olive green

I purchased this linen for the construction of a shawl.. it is more olive green than the picture online but is beautiful and soft.

Unusual Color!

When I bought this fabric, I thought it was black and yellow, but upon receiving it, I found that it is acutually black, yellow, and green but I dont mind at all. After washing, the linen was very soft and has a wonderful drape. From a distance, the color is sort of shimmery (not shiney), changing a little as you move. I love this fabric, and will be using it for historical re-enactment.

Quick delivery of luxurious linen!

This is my second purchase of this linen. I make decorative tea towels and table toppers. (Actually, I made ONE and all my friends went goo-goo and placed orders.) The weight for both is excellent, and it takes the machine embroidery beautifully. Ironing the fabric is a cinch with a hot steam iron. Honestly, there is no comparison between cotton and linen tea towels...linen is luxurious, supple, and has a sheen that won�t quit. I recommend it thoroughly. Thanks so much!!

Great color, good gown weight

I used this to make a 16th century kirtle using Kass�s reconstructing history pattern. The weight is perfect for this kind of project. The color appears to be a bit less kelly and a bit more olive than the picture above, but all in all I would highly recommend both color and fabric as usual great job in offering this, fabrics-store!

Beautiful but Brown, not Blue

This is wonderful fabric, drapes nicely, starts out soft and just gets softer. The trick here is that while this is in the Blue color group, it really should be in a Brown color group. The fine blue threads give the brown a nice heathery appearance. It did make a lovely viking dress, though!

18th Century Gown

I used this linen to make a 1770-era Open Robe Polonaise gown. It worked up beautifully, has a nice body and a pretty color. I highly recommend this linen for re-enactors.

BRILLIANT RED

A VERY NICE RED -IT IS BRIGHTER THAN PICTURED BUT STILL NICE-EASY TO WORK WITH-NICE WEIGHT FOR TOPS-

Wonderful Color

Color of fabric is not at all a flat looking brown-Much better than pictured-Looks great after washing-Perfect weight for shirts and summer dresses.

farbric clother

thank you so much please i like your product is like this product that you have know wich is like this farbric clother so thank so much we are looking for your responding by with best regad alagbala investment limited

Better Then Pictured!!!

I love the color of this stuff.It also washed well-perfect weight for summer tops.

Beautiful color!

This is an absolultely beautiful color! I haven�t made my garment yet (the only reason I didn�t give it 5 stars) but I love the color and look forward to working with this linen. My friends work often with this weight and really like how well it wears.

A Nice Fabric

This fabric is beautifully light and almost sheer. It has a nice sheen to it, and the pattern is subtle and elegant.

Fabulous Linen!!

I bought this linen to make an under-kamiz. It is really transparent, so this is definitely for under-garments. It came pretty stiff and a loose weave, but it softened a bit through the laundering process. I�m almost done hand-sewing the garment and it is a marvelous material to hand-sew. I am hooked on this type of linen and will be purchasing the thicker weight for other garments. The shipping of this fabric was incredibly quick and the price is great. I�ve been referring friends!

totally pleased

I bought both the white and the natural. I must say i was quite afraid i would�t like it...until i got it in the mail. it�s beautifull and really heavy. i love it. I use it for crafts, embroidery and crosstitch. It looks fabulous. The price is amazing for the quality of the fabric (even with shipping) :)

Happy in Australia

I am unable to get this type of linen in Australia, so I have to buy via the internet. I have bought two lots of this linen so far and I am about to buy the 20 yard special. Even though it costs alot for postage, this fabric is worth it, it makes the most comfortable chemises. It just gets better with each wearing and washing. Very happy repeat customer.

Lovely Stuff

I could cuddle up to this all day! I�m using this for my latest Elizabethan smock (chemise)- the old one was cotton batiste, and this linen is so much better! I�ve never seen a better price for linen of this weight (when not purchased in bulk, at least), especially not locally.

WONDERFUL STUFF

This is just excellent linen at the price. Perfect for making reenactment shirts. I was a little scared when it first arrived because it was so stiff and the weave was loose. But don�t worry, the weave tightened with one washing and this linen just gets softer and softer every time you wash it.

Another winner

I like the color and weight. A pretty, dark blue.

A bit lighter than I�d hoped

I like the weight on this linen, but the shade is lighter and greener than what I was hoping for. It looked darker and more blue on the screen.

Nice color

I just received this fabric--it was my first order, and I�m very impressed. The color is a rich, dark red-brown, and the weight is good for pants.

Nice weight, nice color

This linen is a nice, soft color, and the 5.3-ounce weight is just right.

Really Pretty

This "fustian type" fabric is very nice! I made a Rev War petticoat of this fabric and continue to get constant compliments on the color and the design. I recommend it and could see it made into a gown or a jacket, also. Nice to work with too. Penny revwarcostume@yahoogroups.com

Great Stuff!

This weekend I finally wore the dress I made from this fabric. It was wonderful! It washed up beautifully and was great to work with. I loved it. I have a little left over that�s being made into a casual summer skirt.

Great for bags, aprons, etc.

I�m not the only one who used this linen to make aprons out of. It�s heavy enough to hold its shape and therefore a lot of this fabric was used to make a bunch of 18th century bags for my family, from market bags to little drawstring bags. The price was great too. Get more of this kind of stuff, fabrics-store.

Great Stuff

I made a gown out of this linen for RevWar Reenacting. It is perfect weight for a gown, not too flimsy, not too stiff. That was a few months ago and the gown has become a staple in my wardrobe. The color is stunning-- a very rich, very deep brown -- and the weight of the linen is really nice, I could see it being used for jackets, petticoats, or.. more gowns. Highly recommended. Penny RevWarCostume@yahoogroups.com

excellent for reinactor pants

Purchased a bit of this from the Doggie Bag and I am so pleased with it. It washed up like a dream with a flannel-like feel. (I generally wash & dry yardage before sewing.) I have used it to make simple pants for my 5 year old son�s garb. They looked great. Now I�m thinking it would make a great kirtle for myself!

nice!

I wasn�Lt sure ordering fabric without looking at it. The price was very attractive. I am glad that I took the chance. I thought texture was little bit coarse and heavy side at first, but prewashing it couple of times before sawing solved the problem. Make sure when you first wash it, wash it seperately in cold water. I washed it with other fabric, and it transfered the color and lint. The more you wash it, it seems fabric feels softer. I really like the natural look of this fabric. I am thinking about buying this fabiric in different color next time, and Would recommend to all!

Wonderful Stuff!

This makes the most wonderful, soft, mid-weight chemises and shirts for costuming...It flows and flexes with the body without clinging and wrinkling. I just wish it was available ALL the time in more colors...hinthinthint to whoever does the buying :)

rev war re-enactor

I bought this to make an 18th century gown in a draping class my group was having. This is my first time ordering online. I received many compliments on the fabric. The color was beautiful, and the hand very soft. The weight is very nice for a gown. I washed and dried the fabric before hand, and it came out beautiful.

Gorgeous color, gorgeous weight

This is a lovely, deep green reminiscent of green tea ice cream. The weight of the threads makes it slightly heavier so that it holds pleats beautifully wiht less stretch along the bias. I can�t wait to finish my project!

REally beautiful stuff

I made nightgowns for myself and my daughter and I just wnat to live in them all day long. I adore this fabri. I wish they sold 20 yard discount bolts of this weight! It is a bit see through, but for underclothing and nightgowns, this is just perfect.

WONDERFUL!!!

love this stuff- made both pants and top from it- lighter than pictured would call it gray

Wow!

I wasn�t sure about ordering linen online, I was afraid it would be limp or not have the body I wanted... but this fabric is even better than I hoped! I washed it in hot water and threw it in a hot dryer and it came out still slightly crisp, just perfect! Thanks, I will definitely be ordering more :)

18th century

This was great for an 18th century man�s shirt. I will order more for more shirts and chemises.

what do you think?

may i have a light color ? tks

Linen doesn�t come in that shade of red...

I�ve been looking in fabric stores for this perfect, blue-based red for about 8 years. Most well meaning shop tenders would try to tell me that Linen just didn�t come in that shade of red, it wouldn�t take. After several not-quite successful attempts to dye my own, I was beginning to believe them. I saw the listing on Fabrics-store.com months ago and figured it couldn�t be accurate. I sent for a swatch, and it WAS. It took me a few weeks to get my fun money accrued before I was ready to order. They sold out before I could buy it. Aaauuughh!! I waited. And here it is! I jumped on it. It arrived yesterday! It�s glorious! It�s pretty firm with a smooth hand and softens up considerably when you wash it. I wouldn�t care if it didn�t soften at all--it�s all about that COLOR. Thank you so much!

Decent heavy weight

I find this overall to be a nice heavier-weight of linen (although I still think of it as �medium-heavy�, not �really heavy�). It has a few too many slubs in it for my taste, and although I�ve laundered the dress I made several times, it�s still a bit on the stiff and rough side. For an outer dress, that�s fine; but I regret the underdress I made out of it. :) The price, of course, makes up for the few issues I have!

Top Fabric and Service

I am extremely pleased with the service I received from your company and even more pleased with the fabric. I first ordered samples which were sent quickly; I then had a few questions which I sent on-line and received a fast reply. Ordering was easy and the fabric was as expected with no flaws or problems. I would have never found the right fabric for my needs without your web-site.Thank you very much.

Dense weave, but soft

This is a lovely fabric, but be warned: it is quite soft, so it isn�t appropriate if you want a stiff fabric. The weave is dense enough so that you can�t see through it, but it has a very soft drape (partly because of the pre-laundering, partly due to the twill weave). It dyes up wonderfully (I scoured it before dyeing, incidently). Great for outer garments--gowns, skirts, etc.

Yuck!

I read the first review but I couldn�t resist the price. Perhaps it really is dry clean only. I think I washed it 12 times before I gave up. You can pick wads and wads of junk off of the fabric, send it through the wash again, and it�s full of pills again. I�ve never seen linen like this before. Everything else from the site has been fantastic. From now on when there is a incredible sale price, I will know to resist.

I Love This Fabric !

This fabric has a nice weight, feels sturdy, yet it is soft and has a very silky feel. All this and it hasn�t been laundered yet. I can�t wait to make a shirt from this.

Beautiful Color and Drape

Just received this in the brown and went online to order more in green and navy. The colors in the fabric almost shimmer, and it has a very soft drape. Great for shirts, blouses, dresses, or drawstring pants. NB: what appears as the dark vertical stripes is actually sheer, but depending upon your design you could achieve great effect with coordinated linings.

Beautiful Summertime Fabric

This is a beautiful fabric. The colors work well in the summer color palette. I am working it up into an unlined jacket which I will pair with bleached white linen slacks and shell. The fabric has nice drape and I am sure it will become one of my favorites.

Ultra soft!!!

This linen is soft enough to use on baby clothes, it is just lovely. You can\'t go wrong, especially at this price!

Just beautiful!

A gorgeous color and sooo soft! This fabric is a great value, I\'m already placing my second order!

Just as pictured

This fabric is exactly as shown. Rarely does the net do justice. Kudos for your right on representation. Will be ordering again SOON! :)

Lovely linen gingham

I loved this gingham and think the hand of it is perfect for flowy wide leg overalls that I am making for my daughter.

What Pattern Should I Choose

I received my lavander print and lavander solid material and I am in a quandry as to wich pattern I want to use, Skirt and Jacket, Dress and Jacket, Slacks and Jacket. All of these are jumping arround in my head like little sugar plumbs, causing me to wish I had ordered more material (which I may just do)so I can make all of them. I showed my printouts of my favorites to the fabrics dept. manager of a major store, who I might add is an avid seamstress, and she was awed. I gave her this website address. Hope you get to see her here soon.

Impressed With Your Customer Service

I received my samples yesterday. I am so excited that I am able to have my customers, not only see, but feel the fine quality of your fabrics. I\'ve been up all night going through your store, picking out samples of material for summer suits. As I browse through your store I am actualy able to visualize my patterns turn into clothing. It is amazing to find such wonderful quality at such reasonable prices. I know with the help of your store I can have a booming business. Online customers can browse and find the material they would like to fit thier needs. And with your free samples they can get a hands on quality security. Thank you for being here.

I love this fabric

I love this fabric, it has a lovely heavy drape to it, lovely feel in the hand. Looking forward to using it.

Love your website

I have not yet ordered any fabric, although I have ordered some samples of some very interesting material. I am writing to tell you what a wonderful website you have. I have been up all night going through hundreds of sites and yours is among the best. Also, one of the few I entered on my favorites list. Since I am just begining to set up my custom clothing line (Your Busy Buddy Fasions) I am looking forward to doing business with your company. I would, also, like to add a link to your site on my website for my customers to shop for thier material. I am in the process of putting my site together. Thank You Sandra Corey

I made a bedspread with this fabric, and it is gorgeous - and luxurious! And I do not fold it back at night - I sleep with it as a cover and it feels so good. It has got some weight which I like and keeps me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It washes well and is amazingly wrinkle resistant.

Great buy!

I just received my first order today. I bought this fabric just to check out the quality and customer service....everything is great. I can\'t wait to start sewing and place my second order!!!! (Oh, I also received my samples today as well. Great presentation! I thought they would be shipped, in an envelope, crumpled together...not the case! Great job!)

irridescent linen

This fabric is a different color in each direction of the weave, dark blue in one and bright green in the other. This gives it an almost irridescent quality though without the shine of a satin. At a distance it has a kind of a teal sheen and appears a beautiful peacock color. I love it. It is exactly what I wanted. It is not quite as dark as the picture indicates.

great fabric

My first order arrived today and I couldn\'t have been more pleased. Great weight for summer clothes. Now to find a good pattern.

Nice, but color\'s off a bit...

Very nice fabric, but the blue is much lighter (or should I say, interspersed with white) than in the online pic.

Prety nice stuff!

Great lightweight fabric; the blue is a little \

BEAUTIFUL FABRIC!

100% Cotton Jacquard Fantasy

This fabric is so extraordinary!! I have wanted a beautiful tablecloth for a long time but could not afford it. With myh purchase I will be able to easily construct a wonderful formal cloth with additional napkins for a fraction of the cost of retail purchase---and the quality will be 10 times better!

Beautiful!

I\'m making a garment for a customer from this clover leaf green, and I am so jealous! I want to keep it for myself! It\'s a great color! The photos are right on, they reflect the colors perfectly.

Disapointed

This fabric was a great disapointent. It is very open weave and very coarse, and not like other similar weight fabric that I have ordered. It pills and fluffs, even after 5 washings, and looks like it will continue to do so. It is completely unusable. I was suprised since every other fabric I have ordered from this store has been excellent.

beautiful fabric

I ordered a few yards to see if I liked it. I am very impressed. It is very versitile and has a nice \\\\feel\

Excellent light weight cotton with a delicate design.

Very feminine

This material is very beautiful. You won\'t regret ordering it.

Ultimate versatility and value

This is the fourth time I\'ve re-ordered this fabric this summer. This time, I\'m ordering a 20-yard bolt. I wash this fabric, then dye it using procion MX fabric dyes. The fabric is strong, takes color beautifully, and takes a lot of processing while still maintaining its soft hand. It washes to a soft rumpled look that I make into dresses, blouses, jackets and pants. All this for less than $6 a yard, and it\'s 59 inches wide too! This is my ultimate value/versatility fabric! I LOVE THIS FABRIC!

Recommend for 18thC and 19thC chemises/shifts

I really like this for my summer 18thC shift, and plan to make my early 19thC shifts from it as well, as the linen breathes better than cotton. Great price on a lovely sheer linen. Excellent smooth selvedge, makes great caps too!

Embroidery - it is almost like the signature of the fabrics.

This particular fabric is 100% white linen with same color flowers embroidered onto it, giving this cold color a warmer summery feel.

Very nice

A beautiful linen for Renaissance Faire chemises, though I think next time I would go one weight higher. This weight is *just* this side of see-through. :)

I would like to know if you have a special prices for quantities ? due to my business i am going to need to buy a lot of just Linen, but I see that your prices for every Yard is up. Please write me at noacachon@hotmail.com

Sent less than order on Doggie BAG

I ordered a doggie bag of this fabric but in light charteuse linen fabric and the doggie bag said 3.5 yards and I recieved less than 3.5 yards. Disappointed contacted fabric store said send fabric back on my expense and give refund of fabric only. Buyer Beware!

For those of you who are new to it ...

IL020 is lightweight 100% linen. It is ideal for all of your sheer applications and is a see-through marvel. Regardless of its use, we are sure that this is by far the best priced lightweight 100% linen you will ever come across.
