IL019 All-purpose Cedar Green Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 inch wide 100% linen is versatile enough to be referred to as an All Purpose or Do it All linen. With its smooth look and tighter weave, this linen is neither sheer or heavy, but just the right in-between weight you will need for a variety of projects.
Our FS Signature Finish was developed exclusively for us using a special process that makes this linen super soft with a comfy, classic look you'll love at first sight.
As a bonus, this process removes almost all of the initial shrinkage, giving you more fabric to get your projects done.
This finish makes the linen as soft as butter. Yep, 100% linen that feels and drapes and sews as no linen you have ever encountered. Because the fabric has been pre-shrunk for you - it will be less than the base cloth width.

Customer Questions and Answers
Since this fabric has been "pre-washed" do you recommend the consumer to wash fabric prior to garment construction- or will it hold the structure and size once constructed- then washed/ dry cleaned after wearing? Thanks in advance. :)

Please suggest a specific thread color (Gutermann if possible) for this fabric! I am trying to order online and it is difficult to determine best match! Thank you!

I ordered a sample of this color for a customer. She chose it for her project and I need 2 yards. Will this come back in stock? Is there a resale site that might have 2 yards? Is this color available in another base?

Hello, You may like to try our facebook sewing group to see if someone has 2 yards and are willing to send it to you. Otherwise this fabric will be restocked in September.
On the computer, including in most of the review pictures, this looked like a lighter olive. Unfortunately, it is a much brighter, grassier green and clashes with olive. I won't be able to use it for what I intended. It's a decent color on its own, so I convinced myself it would work and washed it, but it really doesn't fit with the olive and brown colors I was going to wear it with. Quality feels good, however. I'd like to make something with it in the future, but am disappointed that the pictures were not accurate. Definitely order a sample first.

Unfortunately each monitor is showing different shade of color. The best idea to order sample swatches first
I love these tea towels. They are beautiful and fun to finish. Instead of the fold over hem, I prefer a mitered napkin hem. It's neater and you don't have to worry about the folds showing on the finished side.
While the color is pretty the color was darker than I expected. I also thought it had more brown in it based on my computer screen but it is the color of a green olive only much darker. Not sure what to do with it at this point as the color doesn't fit into my color pallet. (Autumn)
I found the quality of the products top class, the service exceptional, the prices are sensational and it is such a relief to have a shop where you can visit and know that you are getting a quality product - without having to search. In South Australia the fabric shops seem to be few and far between and when I do need to go to a store it is an expedition so this service is top draw - thank you
After making a dress with this fabric a small piece of leftover yardage became the Grainline Studio Tamarack hacked into a vest. Bias binding, quilting and brass colored snaps paired well with this beautiful green linen.
I chose to make a square-neck variation of the pattern collaboration I did last summer with Taree of Marsha Style. It's called the Grace Dress. For this variation I added ruffles to the shoulders and a button placket in the back. When I received the beautiful softened CEDAR GREEN shade, it felt like pure spring to me, and I wanted to make something fun and celebratory but that I also knew I would wear often. As I get older, I reach more for flowy, forgiving summer pieces that can be thrown over a swimsuit or worn to dinner. And it must have pockets.

This linen lays beautifully for bags. I line it with fusible fleece, and it keeps it shape! Beautiful! kbonikowsky.com
This green is gorgeous! It is springy and the colors of green olives. I make wine bags with this luxurious linen. kbonikowsky.com
I made 8 various size cedar green linen pillows for our couch, a chair and our bed. I loved working with this material, and I plan to make more soon!
