IL019 All-purpose Potting Soil 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.

What is the difference between "Chocolate" and "Potting Soil"? Which is best for the loose "paper bag pants"? Thank You
F|S Team
I would say the potting soil is a slightly warmer and richer brown than the chocolate, which is a tiny bit darker. Both fabrics are available on the IL019 base which is perfect for paper bag style pants.

I love working with FS linen. sews like a dream and looks like a 'million bucks'.
Made a shirt in a 1/2 yard, bias cut. Really easy to sew, looks so nice on. The Fabric had a few spots of snagging but I was able to work around it. Made my own bias tape using water instead of an iron. It was like cheating.
I love this "brown" color! FS Paola jacket free pattern with Simplicity 8841 style A pants!
