IL019 GINGER Softened - 100% Linen - Middle (5.3 oz/yd2)
Kurt Schwitters art featured torn scraps of color and texture. Made from
the ephemera of his daily life in 1920s Germany, almost anything could
be thrown into the mix, including old bus tickets, newspaper scraps,
wallpaper swatches, and playing cards, transformed into prismatic
arrangements of natural, near flesh tones that seem somehow inherently
linked to the human experience.
Through his endlessly complex designs, pushing back and forth in a bid for our attention, there was a
color uniting his work - a rich caramel and golden brown, like that of GINGER Linen,
which creates an overriding mood of warmth and familiarity.
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces, this 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.

Great linen
This is not as ginger as the pictures show, but i decided to keep it as i can still make the items i want to. The feel.of the fabric is lovely.
This fabric was so delicious and a dream to work with.
I picked the FS Signature Finish linen in the color Ginger. I love love love linen and think it is such a beautiful fabric. I love the way it wrinkles and the way it wears over time. It was an honor to get to play with this fabric!
Brown
One reviewer said this has a nice golden hue. That's what I was hoping for. The piece I got is brown. More like a light cocoa brown with not a hint of yellow. Not what I expected or wanted but I will use is anyway. I wish the colors were more predictable, Sometimes the color you see online is the difference between choosing one over another, and then it turns out wrong. Disappointing.
jacket for the end of year competition!
Pat I love that post of your jacket - what an outfit with the skirt! I've bought some ginger on the strength of it thinking it might also go well with a vibrant green or blue too? Pam
Ginger linen
I have always loved linen and decided to give this a shot. The price was amazing and I love the color. I washed it and it is so soft. I can't wait to make an asymmetrical tunic with a pattern I found on Amazon. I'm sure I will be purchasing more fabric from F/S.
Amazing! Addictive!
This was my first purchase of this fabric. When it arrived it was a little stiff. But after washing it just once, it came out of the dryer soft as butter! The color is true to the online sample and it is dreamy to sew with. I am going to have to buy more of this fabric. In fact I'm going to do it right now! Bye!
First time working with linen and I don't know why I waited,
So many years since I started sewing and this was my first use of linen! I do t know why I waited so long. Since my initial purchase and creation, I have ordered more colors and types of linen. I love checking in everyday to see what is being featured on special!
Ginger fabric
This is a lovely color fabric, and is soft and easy to sew. I always enjoy working with your materials.

Ginger, overall gorgeous color. Beautiful fabric.
Part II the things I forgot to mention. . .
I will now be purchasing enough to make the balloon pants in a Vogue Issely Miyaki pattern. The scraps from the two color dress were combined with some Doggie Bag Sphinx to make a tunic with sphinx sleeves and a ginger body, then more sphinx to make it longer and contrast pockets. Since I can never leave well enough alone, I added a lot of contrast embroidery and applique in sphinx to decorate the seams and around the neckline on the ginger. That's why I need more now to make pants to go with it! Can't resist! Pictures to follow.
Delighted!
I keep buying more of this because it's so inspiring. It appears to be a "mild-mannered" golden tan, but it's a rich, lively golden tan. I used it first with some scraps of chocolate to make a color-block dress to wear all year. The Yoke is the dark brown and the the body/skirt is the ginger. Then I covered buttons in both colors to accent it. The pockets are dark brown with ginger buttons and the dark brown yoke has ginger covered buttons accenting the collar and neckline. It feels wonderful to wear, is a joy to sew, doesn't need slip when it's hot, and can be worn all year!
Oh Yes
There are a few colors that, after a wash and tumble, I carry room to room for a few days just to see it in different qualities of light. Ginger is one of these. (Dry Rose is another.) This is sumptuous linen at its best. Thank you for making it!
My first sew
Today I started sewing my first project, made a pair baggy pants the material was fantastic to sew with I am convert,I will be back for more fabric
Perfect Pirate Pants
The color and weight of this lovely linen is wonderfully old world and rustic and makes a great choice for pirate pants.
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!
I have chosen the Cambria Duster by Friday Pattern Company because it has been on my list for SO long and I thought it would be a great piece to add to my fall wardrobe! It is a great pattern and the instructions are really easy to follow!
I purchased several yards of the ginger for curtains and it went so well with the colors of the walls and the Valance. It gave my living room a warm and inviting atmosphere! Definitely will purchase again.

Handbag from softened ginger and softened natural.
Ginger softened is the maxi NICO dress. The over blouse /jacket is made from Natural softened. And with the left overs I made a matching handbag.
Love this color & the way the light comes through this curtain! Worked equally well for the cross-body purse I made out of it.
I used Ginger for the body of this doll, and Arctic White for her blouse. Beautiful linen for hand sewing, soft and sturdy.
I used IL019 Ginger for this vintage-inspired overskirt. There are no words to say how much I love this color. It works year round. Nice hand to the fabric, too. Love. etsy.com/shop/TiliaAmericanas
Gorgeous flow to the fabric ~ looks great with all my collected laces. lblanchestudio.etsy.com
This fabric is just beautiful! A very warm shade of mocha with a dash of yellow is the perfect foil for my medieval rose design in olive, thistle and forest. giardino.etsy.com
