IL019 All-purpose Chocolate Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd²), Width 58"

I absolutely love the chocolate colors offered by FS. I've previously sewn cropped pants with it, and they are comfortable and easy to wear. I've bought more of this fabric because, well, there's always something to sew with linen

I made three matching underdresses for Medieval reenactors. Keyhole necklines , sleeve cuff and hem trim in Autumn Gold. Next will be embroidered details. Apron dresses will also be in Autumn Gold with coordinated embroidery.

I love this fabric! I made a pair of overalls with it. It was easy to sew, feels soft and is comfortable to wear.

very dark brown. coordinates well with Potting Soil. this is "warm" like all browns, but definitely on the cooler side (potting soil is much warmer) and can be worn by people who favor cool tones. it coordinates well with Insignia Blue, Evergreen, Eggplant and Biking Red (i had samples of those to work with)

I made a baby T-tunic with keyhole neckline for my son, leaving generous seam allowances and tucking up extra into the sleeve and hem for him to grow into. The washability of this weight of linen is perfect for baby/toddler garb, and the color is rich and lovely. I used Verdant green to make a contrast keyhole neckline

The fabric is soft rich in color and all around fabulous!

This is a beautiful brown linen fabric. I have used it for my clothing intems and my customers love it...and it softens every time it's washed! Ariana-Skye,com

This was to be something else but I had gotten a Doggie Bag scrap of "Cedar" and the two looked so good together that I changed my plans and I now have my favorite, want to wear it every day, sturdy summer smock. I used the green for the deep yoke and this brown for the body of the dress. It is a dream to wear, even on the hottest days, but it's heavy enough to be opaque, no slip! Later I used the scraps of "Chocolate" for the yoke to a dress of "Ginger" that's wonderful and more "dressy." I added accents of contrast self-fabric buttons, ginger on chocolate and chocolate on ginger. LOVE this dress too.

This fabric is very rich and beautiful. I straightened the grain, then zigzagged raw edges, and washed on warm 3 times, with borax (a natural fabric softener). I did not put it in a dryer ( I think a dryer ruins the naturally beautiful hand and texture of linen ), but hung it to dry, then ironed with lots of steam. Although the fabric had seemed somewhat stiff and shiny upon receiving it, this treatment resulted in a soft but not limp hand, with the feel of linen that I love so much. I will be sewing a coat for spring out of this. Vogue 9040 view A. I will underline the linen with soft cotton which will reduce wrinkling, and it will be lined in a smooth cotton percale. I'll use vintage buttons. Can't wait to sew my project with this gorgeous fabric. Although I'm using it like this for a lightweight coat, this fabric weight is also great for pants, skirts, jackets, and dresses that are meant to have shape and some structure. The color is really wonderful. Highly recommend this gorgeous fabric choice. There's nothing like quality linen!

I used this linen to make a skirt and top that was a mainstay of my summer into fall wardrobe. I get so many compliments on this fabric. It washes well and does not hold stains that come easily in my busy household. I love the way this drapes yet it is very practical for everyday wear. I am coming back now to buy yardage to make a maternity dress. I know this fabric will serve me well and be super comfortable in this special time.
