I used it to make a sheer shrug/bolero jacket for a client who was self conscious about her upper arms. It was sheer, but gave just enough coverage to make her feel comfortable. Not a lot of stretch, but it had the right amount of "give" to make a softly structured garment. I was very happy with it!
It's very hard to find buttons this large and silk covered. I use them on the front of a christening outfit I make and see on Etsy. So glad I found a good source. Fast delivery
The material works well for the lining of my blazer. 3 stars because the color is actually more muted, the picture is brighter & more of a baby pink while the actual color is a mauvy pink
The pattern paper arrived quickly and is exactly what I ordered and wanted. It is perfect for altering purchased patterns to fit me. Excellent service.
The fabric is beautiful and has a nice hand, but upon sewing with it I needed to remove some stitches and found that the dye is shallow on the linen/rayon blend. Immediately white is seen even when carefully removing stitches. I am an experienced seamstress of over 45 years. The garment I made is still quite nice, but I may consider the dye structure in the future.
I bought half a yard of the blue to make a simple loose summer shell. Like it so much I'm going to buy more to make a pair of summer capri's. The blues are all saturated, the florals are true to how orchids look, even the buds are realistic. That bit of stretch just provides added ease and comfort. Though dry cleaning is recommended I will wash this on gentle and know from much experience with linen that the hand will soften and plump which is a look I like. Pulling it when just damp from the dryer and ironing it will give me the crisp but soft look I like. Delighted to see that both selvages are stay stitched and tasseled . I will be incorporating that pretty little tassel into my shell at a bottom edge or use it to highlight some aspect of the shell. Can't wait to start sewing.

Some of the best Ponte I've ever purchased. The weight is medium. Not too light, good for pants, skirts, dresses, even light jacket.

This fabric is rich looking and feeling. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is a little difficult to sew, a walking foot is a must!
