Beautiful weight for summer basics. I actually haven't decided whether to make a pair of pants or a shirtwaist dress. I have some time since the weather is cold now. Either one will be great since the color is so summery! Looking forward to working on it.
The color is super rich and warm. You just want to wrap it around yourself before even making anything! It has a nice drape, washes well, but unlike what we normally think when we think of fleece, it is not solid. Each row is made up of the bubble texture which is then somehow bound on a mesh-like backing. This mesh can show a bit on the right side if the seams happen to enclose or bend the fibers over a bit. It has very little structure and you will need a lining of some sort depending on what is being made. I think this fabric is more suited for home decor and blankets. I made an oversized sweatshirt as a gift and lined it with a normal fleece on the reverse.
This is a little heavier than the other colors of this bamboo - cotton fabric, which makes it a little warmer. It is just as soft and stretchy, while retaining its shape. It sewed up into trouser type pants with elastic waist for working from home.
Looks just like the photos. Really lovely light shirting - type material, not much drape but made a nice sleeveless top. Gorgeous pattern, got lots of compliments on the fabric!
I bought this paper for tracing patterns and eventually will use it for pattern drafting (which is why I wanted the markings). It's sturdy but still very easy to see through.
I used this khaki twill to make a pair of pants for my husband, and I enjoyed working with it and really liked the finished look. However, the fabric wrinkles like crazy in the wash. To keep the pants looking nice, I have to iron every inch and fold them carefully like suit trousers. For future projects, I'll look for a cotton blend that's more resistant to wrinkles.
Fabric is beautiful- but completely the wrong color. Now I'm stuck with $200 of very dark metallic grey silk shantung and had to go buy cheap polyester for my project- which is going to be miserable to wear.

I ordered this as a swatch. It's an amazing piece of fabric. I also used the swatch as a test piece for washing. It came out beautiful!

Color goes beautifully with the multi-color cotton sweater I knitted. Fabric weight also a good match.

the prints are big on a petite frame and I don't think the blue is as flattering as pastel sky blue for asians

This fabric is pretty but quite thin and weak drape. Pretty colors though!

Fabric is beautiful. I wish you would have a bigger collection of prints, more classic prints. The classic prints we can wear longer

I won't use any other brand of thread. I love how Mood gives you thread color suggestions for each fabric that I purchase. It makes it so easy!
