IL019 PACIFIC BLUE Softened - 100% Linen - Middle (5.3 oz/yd2)
Bold, vibrant and filled with optimism, PACIFIC BLUE linen
mirrors David Hockney's dazzling, eye popping blues. Celebrated for his
playful and adventurous colour palette, Hockney spent his early years
as an artist living and working in LA. Moving between the UK and US in
his later years, the vivid colours of California stayed with him and
coloured his many subjects, from sunlit interiors to windswept British
pastures, igniting in them a passionate and invigorating sense of life.
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.
The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).

I make throw pillows and have been looking for a place where I can get quality linen in lots of colors. I've been getting samples from several places and love FS look and feel not to mention price. This is the first fabric I made a pillow from. It is gorgeous! The color of this fabric just pops and it is easy to work with. silverneedleworks.com
Ok, now that I've made lots of clothes and bedding I discovered using my scraps for various sized face cloths and hand towels, double sided. Nice. I'll never go back to store bought home goods again.
This color is beyond gorgeous
The linen itself is the same, wonderful quality I expect from Fabrics-Store.com, but the color is just incredible. It looks even more amazing in person.
REALLY love the top I made out of this. Looks rich, yet is so soft and comfy. Great to wear on a hot day, but definitely feel I could wear it in spring and fall too.
Gorgeous Color
This Pacific Blue is Stunning! I made a beautiful shift dress with it that will be perfect for the beach this summer. I used Guterman thread #625 ( perfect match). I am soooo going to order this again for a few more pieces 5stars!
15th Century Kirtle project
This is a beautiful shade of turquoise blue. The fabric is soft to the touch and I found it easy to work with. I pre-washed. Hand sewed/constructed. I did find that I should have used a thicker thread, the weave is a little bit larger than most poly/cotton thread. So you have to knot the end 2x and double the thread up.
Beautiful Colour!
This paired with any of the orange materials that are sold here is the PERFECT pairing!
This fabric is so soft, and the blue is stunning.
I've always wanted to find a place that had enough wonderful linen fabric in my very favorite color, so thank you for being that perfect store! See posting - I did my entire bedroom in this fabric - bedspread, pillows, curtains, and couldn't be happier!
Best mistake
Best mistake ever- I ordered the wrong color but adore this shade and had to use it in a combination dress/coat/purse for my granndaugher (pictures posted). And just as they say - linen is addictive. I find the colors so rich and beautiful and linen is wonderful to embroider on and to make bags of all sorts.
This fabric is a delight. The color is vibrant, and matches the online swatch very well. The color remains, even after washing, and the fabric itself gets softer with each wash. The fabric is also sturdy, but not too heavy. Perfect for any number of projects. I made a spring kirtle (medieval fitted dress) with it, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It irons easily (use steam. linen loves moist heat) and has a beautiful drape. I highly recommend this to anyone. It also held up well to my hand embroidery. I have not tried complicated satin-stitched projects on it yet, by my hand-stitched eyelets held up beautifully when backed with a heavy tape. I currently don't have a picture of my work, but will post it when I do, for better example.
Beautiful, rich, vibrant blue. Making napkins for my sister
I have been using linens from Fabric-store.com for several years and I love the quality consistancy of their linen as well as the vibrant colors they offer. Never been disapointed.
The fabric is great, but the blue was very blue. Looked a little different online. I may buy a more muted colour now.
I just received my material and I LOVE it...I can't wait to start sewing...I will be ordering more...I am so excited I found your site...
This is the ultimate blue. If you like saturated clear tones, this is for you. Almost true to photo--a little more saturated in reality. Lives up to its Pacific Blue description. Love!
This is the Loren pattern in the beautiful IL019 Pacific Blue. The picture is a bit distorted because of the angle. The dress was such a joy to make and wear. Many compliments and oh so comfortable in the hot August evening of my husband's class reunion. The buttons are bright green enamel, custom made for me by PacificViewStudio, an online Etsy shop. I made a blouse from Loren before the dress to work on the neck and overlap. Not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. The F-S patterns are so well drafted it just flows together.
Beautiful fabric. Easy to work with. I'll be back for more. silverneedleworks.com
Hand towels and face cloths from my current linen scrap pile. Really soft and just plain lovely.
Wonderful color! I have enough left after making this dress that I'll probably use it for highlights on another garment.

Beautiful blue and very comfortable to wear.
I love this color soooo much that I decided to do my entire bedroom in it; the walls were already a similar color several shades lighter. The pleats make it look like waves, so Pacific is the perfect name for it - call it my "Ocean Waves" bedspread. I'm always too warm, so this is absolutely the perfect weight for a cover all year round; even during a really cold midwest winter! :)
Now the dress with the little purse across it.
I couldn't figure out how to select more than one photo at a time, so here is the dress.
I ordered this color by mistake, was trying to order more royal blue, but the pacific blue was to beautiful to return, so I made a dress, coat and small purse for my granddaughter. The white is the optic white.
The napkin is made from IL019, Pacific Blue linen material. I used machine embroidery to create the hemstitch border.

I had several yards of this tropical print linen blend, and finally found the perfect blue linen to go with it on Fabric-Store.com. I am very pleased with how this skirt turned out, and even more pleased that I have enough yardage of each fabric to make a second skirt!
