Kaufman Essex Yarn Dyed Linen Blend Flax, Fabric by the Yard

This is a very nice fabric! You get a good amount and it’s pretty thick and heavy. I washed it and I didn’t notice any (or much at least) shrinking. Happy with it

This cotton linen blend is a dream to sew. I am very pleased with it as my choice to pair with the patchwork pieces I used to construct this shirt. The fabric has the appearance of a medium weight denim, but with a more elegant drape. I pre-washed the fabric, knowing it would most likely have considerable shrinkage. I ordered 3 yards that measured 110 inches and after a cool wash and medium heat in dryer, it yielded 106 inches. I will only cold water wash and hang dry the shirt for future, to ensure no additional shrinkage.The weight of the fabric is heavier than an Oxford Cloth, so it is better to consider it as a lightweight denim for selecting your project. It is just heavy enough for a lightweight pant. I chose to use a contrasting top stitch, using off-white thread, since this weave is both blue and white. You will need to finish any seams with a zig zag, as all weaves will fray.I suggest ordering more fabric than you need for one project, because you will definitely find use for this fabric in more than one project.I found the price to be excellent for a linen blend.I will undoubtedly order more in some other colors.BTW....I have been sewing for almost 45 years.

I just made a Japanese-style cross-back apron. It was my first one ever and I needed a linen-cotton blend. This fabric worked beautifully and was very easy to sew. Even when I had to rip out seams and sew them again, the fabric was forgiving and didn't show any marks. I really enjoyed working with this fabric and plan to get more to make another apron.

I made 6 napkins out of 2 yards. They ended up just over 18” after 1” hem. Price is better than anything I can find locally. Easy to cut, easy to sew. Wife and I LOVE them. They have a real heft to them.

I love this fabric and the color is beautiful.

The fabric is very light it’s what I expected it’s excellent quality and a very light material

I put this in a quilt (my search was for quilting fabric) and didn't realize it was a linen/cotton blend. It stretched very easily. It has texture to it that was perfect since I used it for one of the borders around a wolf panel.

I used this fabric to make a romper for my baby. I washed and put through the drier before using and it did shrink but I expected that. It was really nice to sew with and I love the colour of it.
