IL019 All-purpose Antique White Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2) - 0.90 Yard, Width 58"
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 inch wide 100% linen is versatile enough to be referred to as an All Purpose or Do it All linen. With its smooth look and tighter weave, this linen is neither sheer or heavy, but just the right in-between weight you will need for a variety of projects.
Our FS Signature Finish was developed exclusively for us using a special process that makes this linen super soft with a comfy, classic look you'll love at first sight.
As a bonus, this process removes almost all of the initial shrinkage, giving you more fabric to get your projects done.
This finish makes the linen as soft as butter. Yep, 100% linen that feels and drapes and sews as no linen you have ever encountered. Because the fabric has been pre-shrunk for you - it will be less than the base cloth width.

Customer Questions and Answers
Hi! it has been suggested to me to wear 'taupe' instead of white, where the 'taupe' is somewhere in between cream and purest white. Where would you put this color, antique white? Or would you guess some other color? Thanks!
F|S Team
The Antique white is a beautiful cream shade not too yellow and fits well in the range you mentioned. We have samples available for purchase to make sure this color will work for you.
As it has been treated with your Signature Finish, how will it dye with Procion MX Fiber reactive dyes? Thank you.
F|S Team
It will still dye up wonderfully after it has been thoroughly pre-washed and scoured with the dyer's recommended scouring agent.
I would like to order a sample of this fabric but there is no button to order it. Do you not offer samples for this particular fabric? thank you!
F|S Team
Please contact us via email so we can send this sample out to you or call us at 1-866-620-2008 for assistance.
Is this sheer? I purchased the IL019 in Dove and I had to line the dress.
I will email you directly
Is the IL019 heavy enough to make a dress that would not require a lining or slip.
F|S Team
The IL019 is the most popular choice for apparel. Some colors, mostly the lighter shades will have more transparency in certain lighting. You may want to order a swatch first to make sure you would be okay for your needs.
It's gorgeous, may I use for curtains? If not, which one you recommend. Thx.
F|S Team
Hello, Yes you can use this for curtains. Our recommendations for curtain fabrics depends on your desired look and light filtering/block out. For a personalised fabric recommendation, please email us with these details.
Does the signature finish interfere with dyeing?
F|S Team
Many of our customers have successfully dyed this linen using a variety of different methods. We always recommend that since there is a softener on the linen, you test the dye method and or paints you are wanting to use before you proceed with the entire project just to be sure you do not have any issues.
I love the color of this linen. It was in the doggie bag. I would like to buy more for drapes but can't find this Antique White color in your selection. ?
Antique White is more like a candlelight shade of white instead of ivory. As you can see from the other posts Antique White easily lends itself to heirloom techniques, projects, and vintage clothing. Of course its also great for contemporary garments. It would be great in home furnishings for a less rustic look than the Natural and Mix Natural.
Lovely sand color
I've used this linen several times for my textiles business. I've handprinted my own designs on it and sewed table runners and and pillows for happy customers. I'm about to sew up a toiletries bag with it. The weight and texture of it is just beautiful. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a light sand color.
I posted a picture of the high-low blouse I made using the pattern available here at Fabrics-Store, except I didn't use the elongated pockets. The fabric was a pleasure to work with and forgiving of my errors. It was the first time I used bias tape to find a neckline. This sturdy blouse will serve me very well over the next months!
Love this linen! washes up beautifully, and great to sew on. The color is perfect..coordinates with the other colors and weights. Normally I Use the heavy weight, but I'm really liking the medium lately for clothing.
The shorts New Look 6055 are out of Antique white. They are lined. The blouse, New Look 6720 is out of Parchment with the collar in Antique white because I didn't have enough of the Parchment. I got both fabrics from the Doggie Bag. I find that with linen if I don't have enough of one fabric I can easily use another color to make up for it and it adds interest.
Love this linen! I dyed the completed top to this gorgeous cerulean blue. Guaranteed to get loads of wear with white linen pants.
Blouse made IL019 Antique White and other FS Linen scraps.
My favorite 'white'. Its soft and the perfect not bright white. I made this Roscoe blouse hack in antique white and then again in barn red because its the perfect shirt and great linen.
This is Burda pattern 127 from the May 2020 edition of Burda Style. Not quite a T-shirt and not a blouse is the given description. Very easy make in an hour. But then there's the tracing. :) The IL019 Antique White will become a favorite go-to fabric.
