Customer Reviews
I made a Riveria dress with this beautiful fabric. So lovely to cut out and sew with, super drape, weight and movement. Wonderful to wear. Am delighted!
I haven’t made this up yet into a shirt for my husband but it’s cut out ready to sew in a queue! It washed extremely well which is great. The fabric has more texture than I was expecting and feels more silky than I’d have liked but I think it will sew well. Great service from fabworks .
