IL019 All-purpose Evergreen Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
Evergreen Linen’s deep, rustic green brought intensity and depth into William Holman Hunt’s mythological scenes, whether indoors or out, invoking in them the awe and wonder of the English landscape.
A leader in the Pre-Raphaelite school of painting, Hunt looked back to the innocence of medieval times, when art was more closely tied to the natural world; as a result, his colors and subjects seem to be pulled straight out of the ground. Greens from all shades of the spectrum filled his heady canvases, imbuing them with a rich, mysterious glow.
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.

Do you have elegant patterns on the linen, similar to the one in the painting on today's advertisement? Thank you.

Hello, We don't stock printed linen, instead we have a range of jacquard woven linen with designs just as beautiful. See our jacquard section under the linen fabric tab.
How much shrinkage can I expect from this weight, IL019?

For this particular fabric with the FS signature finish, you can expect minimal shrinkage of around 3%. For more information about shrinkage on our other finishes, see this helpful article: support.fabrics-store.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403190857485-Fabric-Shrinkage
Is this linen good for bedsheet and pillowcases? Thank you
F|S Team
Yes. This fabric is our recommended fabric for making sheets and pillowcases. We use this fabric in our Classic Linen Bedding Collection of patterns.
I'd like to make an evergreen linen tablecloth for the holidays. Is this thick enough to hold up as a tablecloth?
F|S Team
Yes, this fabric is our go-to for most household items like table cloths. It has a lovely amount of substance and drape without being too thick.
The color of this fabric is richer than pictured, a gorgeous foresty green. I haven't decided yet what I want to do with it, just building up a stash right now. I'm very pleased with this one!

Thank you for sharing your comments
I am so happy with my purchase. This color was a bit different than what I was expecting (my monitor showed it more blue) and since green is my favorite color, I was fine with the color I received. I made The Pansy dress pattern by Rosary Apparel. It's my favorite dress right now!! I seem to have switched most of my sewing fabrics over to linen. I love it!
Emerald and Crimson mid weight linen napkins will be part of our celebrations this year. Each yard will make six 18" dinner napkins so we will have a total of 12, enough for all our dinner guests. Thank you for making linen clothes available to us! The rustic weight linen will be transformer into bento gift bags for gifting
Beautiful Evergreen
This green is nice, rich green just like its name. I handprinted it for a shoulder bag for a customer who was so thrilled she asked me to make her this pillow. I can always rely on Fabrics Store for fast delivery of top quality fabric. Thank you Fabrics Store.
Sewed up like a dream. Color was a little brighter than I expected, but still beautiful. Already a repeat customer.
FYI Gutermann sew-all color 764 is a match for linen in EVERGREEN
I bought a Doggie Bag of this fabric to make a pair of wrap pants, and not only was I able to make the pants with almost zero waste, but the way this fabric handled while sewing and ironing was nothing short of amazing. The pants are so comfortable, and after washing, they're even softer. After this experience, I will definitely buy more, and in various colors! This green was gorgeous and I can only imagine each color will be just as spectacular.
Exquisite green
Matched very well to the colour on my computer and phone screens. A luscious green, perfectly named as Evergreen. Will be using this to make a dress for attending a summer wedding (and a matching tie for my husband).
I love this shade of green! Complements a multitude of other colors and the fabric is very versatile both for clothing and home decor. It's light enough for summer and when layered is warm enough for winter. It's soft and durable enough for work clothing and holds its shape after many washes without wearing out. Linen is also a dream to work with. It doesn't slide around whole your sewing on it.
Love this evergreen color. Haven't made anything in it yet but have made many things in this weight linen. Love how it wears and is so comfortable.
I haven't made anything with my medium weight Evergreen fabric yet, but so far it seems up to the quality I would expect from FS. I'm always wondering how different colors look compared to other shades and in different lighting, so I thought I'd made a photo showing that with some of my different shades of green. Of course everything looks different on different monitors, but hopefully this is helpful.
For the Medieval Faire in Santee, California, I made a cotehardie and a Surcoat out of midweight linen, using the port wine and lilac, and evergreen, for a stunning combination.
I used this gorgeous green for a Medieval Surcoat. I used Tawny Port and Lilac for the Cotehardie. Both pieces were a delight to wear; breathable and comfortable.
Made a Christmas dress using Evergreen medium weight linen.Newlook pattern N6705.
I made my daughter a dress from this evergreen linen. I drafted the pattern myself. I'm so glad I found affordable quality linen for our clothes. Very fast shipping as well.
The fabric I chose for this one is the EVERGREEN in FS Signature Finish, which is a lovely green, cooler in tone and more saturated than the Dusty Lotus that I used for my Curated By You dress. Even though I have worked with Fabrics-store linen a few times now, I am awestruck each time I open the package. Their linen is really something special. I have actually never come across this quality of linen in South Africa. All of my garments made from FS linen wear beautifully, are quite soft, do not pill easily, washes really well (I do wash my clothing on a delicate wash for longevity) and are a pleasure to wear!

Heraldic cotehardie for re-enactment made with IL019 Evergreen and Black. Applique is Optic White. I have been buying my linen for period garb from Fabrics Store for years and have never been dissapointed.
