VERY cool! I'm bookmarking this post. I love linen, too! I can think of all kinds of garments to sew on my aging sewing machine! Thank you, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI love linen but am not creative enough to make anything! I KNOW you can:) Enjoy your weekend dear Nancy, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteIt is always good when you can trust a store and its products.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that shirt/jacket. Fun color.
ReplyDeleteOh Gosh! I order from there. They have the best linen. The prices are fantastic too. I've made pinafore/apron's for my family and they love them. My niece is having her first baby and we were going through a bunch of her old baby clothes. I came across a baby pinafore w/ruffle pants I'd made her 30-years ago. I decided to make a few pinafore/aprons for family members as gifts. As I LOVE to and often do wear linen it was a natural progression to make them from linen. ha. Just by luck I ran across this shop by googling online linen. Have made over 20-so far. This fabric launders up great!
Made a couple pairs of capri's and pants also. Would love to try my hand at a set of sheets as the linen is so soft I think it would make great bedding.
We've been able to wear linen over here for much longer this summer!Lovely blouse and very-well made. Nice colour and will suit you admirably, Nancy. Have a good week. x
ReplyDeleteI am amazing by people who can sew beautiful garments. I can sew, but no one would wear anything off my needles. And shirts are SO hard. I have yet to knit a sweater that fits, so my hat is off to you and your gorgeous shirt.
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I just love linen. It wrinkles so badly, but I still love to wear it. Your shirt, jack turned out nice, and I concur with the new color you have chosen for your next one. Have a great week, hugs!
