I made placemats and a tote bag. I'm wondering if there's a blue that matches for some napkins?

For those who find this too wrinkly for towels, you must wash this linen many times, I would say at least 8 times, I throw them in with every wash cycle over a few weeks and then you get the most wonderful, soft and absorbent dish towels ever. It takes time, but it is worth it. I just ordered several pieces from the doggie bag to make dishcloths and placemats and will use some unwashed to make shopping bags.

I'm not happy at all with this it's so hard almost like a plastic the only thing it is good for is making patio cushions or covering outdoor chairs it is not good or fit for inside work.I definitely will not be ordering this again. And the stripe is really a good 2 inches wider so not even what I was wanting or hoping for. Just not pleased at all with this purchase ,will not be doing it again.

We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with this linen. I will reach out to you via your direct email to see if there is a way for us to turn this purchase around for you.

Can't wait to try this type of linen fabric out. I have never worked with canvas quality before this purchase. Excited. I am planning to pre wash x 3 and line dry before attempting, as this method has been successful in the past with my linen projects. Grey tone is slightly darker than anticipated but won't effect the project/

See my description / photo in the posted work

I am sorry to hear that the towels are not working out as expected and will email you directly with additional suggestions/solutions that may work in achieving a more satisfactory result.

I haven't finished what I am doing but, I am making napkins, placemats and a valance for my kitchen. I love this material and I made pillow covers with ties when I bought it last time it's so versatile.

I'm in love with all of those striped linens. It has the smell of linen, of fields, of the thrue life! Love the touch. I always machine wash and dry my linen before cutting and sewing it. I find that the best thing to do is to dry this one at medium heat for 30 minutes for 20 yards. First, I have machine dried it for too long and it was really hard to iron. Second, I took it out of the dryer while it was still too wet. Third, I think that I understand how to manage it!

It is pictured as blue and cream. It is actually blue and brown. I was making placemats as decoration for a wedding rehearsal tables. Now I have to find something else. I would not have ordered many yards if the picture had been correct.

It's Linen so it's Naturally Beautiful! Turned a narrow (1/4 ") hem twice, and stitched. The crispness allowed stitching without pins nor needed pressing. I just smoothed with my fingers. I was short on time, just wrapped, and gave two Dish towels as a gift. I cut a full yard for each. Gave without washing. My friend just Loves them! I I advised she remove from washer and hand straighten. Smooth out a bit. Low partial dryer. I use two at a time in my kitchen. One in use, while the other dries. Then rotate. You always have a dry towel to work with! Thanks again Fabrics-store.com!!!

I bought some of this fabric to make a few kitchen towels for myself. The fabric shrinks a lot so I used 2 yards to make three towels. They were quick to make. I washed them in hot water & detergent & dried one on the clothes line, one in the dryer & laid one flat on top of the dryer. They all came out exactly the same size. They shrink in the wash but not at all with drying. They are heavy weight towels and are not "soft" but they feel nice, practical & sturdy & they soak up liquids like crazy. Anyway I bought 12 more yards to make towels for Christmas gifts.
