My client adored this fabric, but when it arrived, it wasn't quite the color she wanted. So I have yardage of this, and am dreaming up what to do with it. Absolutely gorgeous and well-pleated!
Whipped this cool fabric up into a pair of wide legs pants using StyleArc Lodden. My daughter (who lives and works in central London) took them! So they must be cool! I'll reorder and make again for myself.
I really like the design of the fabric. I wish it came it came in other types of fabric. The colors are just as bold in person as shown online. And I really like the take on stripes with the varying sizes. Some of the lighter colors are translucent and need a lining. Also, the stripes run parallel to the cross-grain. i ended up cutting on the cross-grain and needed to add extra ease to account for the lack of mechanical give.
I really like the pattern on the fabric, but I was not wild about the fabric itself. It feels especially plasticy and I had some difficultly working with it. It shows needle marks and frays and pulls easily. Even using a fine needle, I have small pulls all along my seams, though they're only visible up close. The white parts of this fabric are also pretty translucent. The design is striking, I especially like that the two black verticals are not the same as each other (have different colored circles).
This fabric was fine to work with. On the thicker side, given its weight. And as to be expected with a jacquard, does tend to fray more easily. In person the fabric isn't as exciting as I was hoping for. The uniqueness of the pixel design and silver thread in the weave is only really noticeable up close.
Overall, fine to work with. I did not need a lining. I would have thought this was a linen blend. While not uncomfortable to wear, it does have a scratchiness to it and does not have as fluid of a drape as I would have expected.
The fabric was very easy to cut & sew. I made a dress for DIL and she said she loves how the fabric feels and moves. Perfect amount of stretch. Excellent recovery.
I've used several types of pattern paper and I can't say how much I love this paper! The pattern makes it super easy to keep everything in balance and on grain.
I am new to working with silks and was delighted to find the perfect fabric. In addition, the staff was amazing at answering questions and discussing options with me. A great experience!

Love the softness. I've been looking for this color in a good green stripe seersucker. Thank you for the selection quality!

So excited to use this fabric in an alterations project - adding an underarm gusset to a too-tight costume.

Beautiful Golden color. Heavier weight linen. Might work well for bottoms and a summer jacket.

The sample of the fabric I ordered is beautiful and the perfect color. Unfortunately, it is too heavy for my project.

Beautiful, flawless fabric; easy to sew but one must consider seam finish to keep the design flawless!

The fabric is great, the color is beautiful,I washed before use it, is very firm and stretchy but soft at the same time.
