IL020 Handkerchief Gouache Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Light (3.7 oz/yd2), Width 58"
There is a pale, almost lilac tinge to GOUACHE
Linen's pastel blue, echoing the dreamy, mystical light of Belgian
Surrealist Rene Magritte. Master of the uncanny, Magritte transformed
familiar objects into magical or metaphorical symbols by floating them
amidst hazy, pastel skies and airy white clouds, letting them drift off
into another world, where lucid dreams unfold.
At a lighter weight of 3.5 ounces this 58 inch wide 100% linen is woven with finer threads to give it a smoother appearance. Referred to as lightweight or handkerchief linen, this fine, but surprisingly sturdy linen brings new meaning to the term "sheer elegance".
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 absolutely love this color! I can't wait to make it up. Your fabric is really wonderful to sew with.
This fabric is beautiful and so is the color. Best to get steamed at dry cleaners when done making garment. Makes for a stunning finish! Needs lining in front if making clothes

FS Phoebe in IL020 Gouche. Oh, what a lovely blue! When sewing, be sure to use smaller-than-normal stitch length for bias binding in IL020.

Used this lightweight linen to make a summer kimono-style wrap dress (Victory Patterns Trina Dress). The linen is light enough to wear on summer days. I love the colour, and how this dress turned out!
I hand-stitched these palazzo pants with a draped neck blouse that hangs in two layers on the front from your gouache fabric for a cool summer outfit. The pale azure blue color glows and makes me feel wonderful when I wear it. It hangs nicely and was easy to "iron" with my fingers as I stitched the seams. All I had to do was measure and press it down between my thumb and index finger to get a clean, straight seam to stitch. A really lovely fabric that I highly recommend for spring and summer sewing.
