Customer Reviews
... as an addition to my review from 09/26.
Since I was on vacation, I only saw the fabric today and I'm totally in love with it! I'm looking forward to sewing it. Will be a favorite coat!
Delivery to Germany very quickly, overcharged shipping costs were quickly refunded, very fair.
It's my second fabric from Fabworks, my son is happy with the first one (coat), I am with the second one.
Easy to work with. And allows flexibility in choice of projects as a result.
Following my initial review when I received the fabric I have subsequently made it up into a jacket and pencil skirt. I am very pleased with the results. The fabric is a pleasure to use. For anyone thinking of making a shacket for chilly spring days this would be a great wool fabric choice. I have ordered a further length to make matching trousers. Beautiful fabric! Many thanks Fabworks!
This is a beautiful fabric. It ticks all the boxes;
wool ✅ texture ✅ warmth ✅ stability ✅ colour ✅🤩
I will make a spring jacket. A “slow sew” over gloomy winter days, ready to bloom along with bulbs and blossom. 💐🌸🌺
