I haven't ever even seen linen jersey! I would love a swatch book of all the types of linens.

A good 75% of my wardrobe is linen and tencel. I love these fabrics. They feel so natural against my skin.

It would be helpful to put the titles and publishers of the patterns you have shown, along with what fabric is best with it.

I love cotton and linen blends, and I am really intrigued by your linen and tencel blends - sounds like the best of all worlds to me!

[SewingDee]

Absolutely love your fabrics. Thanks so much for this video, it’s so helpful. Thank you particularly for the explanation regarding the Tencel validity, I wasn’t aware that some are not as ethical as others. I would rather pay a little more for an easy conscience.

Excellent information on the different Linen fabrics. Linen is a favorite of mine. I really like jersey linen and the viscose linen. I am going to love the drape it gives. Fantastic job. Thank you. ❤️

I like what I have read about linen - 1) warm weather comfort, 2) no need to press the garments, and 3) it gets softer over time. However, I have my doubts about that last point. The only linen garment I have is a sleeveless blouse from J. Peterman, labeled 100% linen and made in China. I have had it for 12-ish years, wear it 2-3 times a years then hand wash it to cut back on shrinking. This means I have washed it from 24ish to 36ish times since I bought it. But my blouse is as crunchy as it was the day it was delivered.

* Is my definition of "soft" off base? (For example, cotton is soft, my cat is soft, panna cotta is soft.)
* Am I washing it the wrong way?
* Is J Peterman's label untrustworthy?

Thank you.
