Customer Reviews
This isn’t my usual style of fabric but I fell in love with the crisp feel and knew it would make perfect pyjamas. It’s beautiful to sew with; firm and stable yet very light and fine. I use the Fran pyjama pattern from Closet Core (also purchased at Fabworks) which is easy to follow. The final result is really roomy and comfortable; I like them a lot, but some people might prefer to drop down a size for a more fitted look.
I am not generally a bold florals wearer, but when I made my Lustrous Green Ivy skirt I knew it would look its best with something that popped. Bursting Blooms had green in it that was an excellent match, so I took a gamble. I ran up my '2023 go-to top' in it, and was quite surprised that I could carry the bright and busy floral after all, and it lifted my Lustrous Green Ivy skirt to make a lovely, cool and upper end of smart-casual outfit. It just shows that sometimes it pays to embrace fabric outside your normal comfort zone. Bursting Blooms is genuinely a cheerful fabric, exuding the English summer we dream of and do not get (no brolly required and has an excellent handle - soft enough to gather well and crisp enough for a very neat collar. As a lawn it washed well, needless to say . Bouquets all round on this one, Fabworks.
