I fell in love with this online and received it today. It's even cuter than the photos. Lovely colors and soft hand. Can't wait to make the casual shirt dress for which it's planned!
I liked this fabric so much that I ordered more so I could make the same jacket for my sister. It is very easy to work with The pattern has a boho vibe
I have been struggling with tracing over patterns because I dislike cutting them out of the paper. I tried marker and pencils and flip flopping the paper back n forth as I tried to mark out the pattern. I cannot believe I didnt try this earlier. This is easy to use. It has a flat spot on the top to place your finger upon which allows for easier use.
This lining fabric is so easy to work with! Unlike other lining fabrics, I have used, this does not fray or shift or distorted shape. My daughter is using it with her first Advanced beginner project and is very happy with it!
This fabric is high quality and the colors are beautifully vibrant. It will make a Beautiful Maxi Dress. AS someone who we all know and love would say "Thank You Mood"!
Maybe because I'm an intermediate sewer? to me the fabric is Very lightweight and flimsy would be hard for me to work with. However it does look like the photo. Glad I ordered a swatch! The fabric does look like the photo but the lighting in the photo make the fabric look a little brighter.
I made a novice mistake,I didn't inspect the fabric when it arrived and before washing it. However when the fabric came out of the wash I noticed a long snag and hole on one side. I wasn't expecting the fabric to be so delicate and won't stand up to use. I guess it depends how much wear and tear you want to put the garnet through. I wouldn't buy it again. Live and learn.
Just received this fabric. It is smooth, not itchy against skin. Washed a swatch, shrinkage was about 7% weftwise and 5% warp. About 50% stretch weft, and less in the warp. Nice drape, thin-ish for a wool double cloth. (In a good way, for my project. ) opaque enough. Not quite as smooth after wetting it, but still very usable. I plan to preshrink (wash) my fabric. My concern is pilling. (That's why 4 stars, for now.) I'll report back :)
Also, you CAN peel the layers apart, for seams etc. I haven't decided if it will be necessary, yet.

I always love silk/habotai for lining any tailoring items. Nothing particularly special about this one, but with 20% off it works out at great value.

SUCH a beautifully soft stretchy fabric. I am very satisfied with the purchase. When they say NEON they mean NEON!

A very nice twill. Presses well, easy to mark up, stable. A little pricey but well worth the money.

A trouble free purchase

It was a nice mix of solids and prints, fabric weights and fabric content. All usable one way or another.
