Made by a Fabricista: Pink, pink, pink!
Hello all! I hope this finds you safe and healthy!
For this month's post, I wanted to use this unbelievably gorgeous chambray linen in this equally gorgeous pink.
Here's a link to the fabric I used:
Pink not your favorite color? that's okay! FM has so many pretty choices you can see here: Chambray Linen
I thought his fabric was perfect for summer and once I opened the package, I knew I was right! This is lightweight, breathable, and so very pretty. You almost feel like you can float away in this!
With anything that has natural fibers, I will wash and dry, even though this fabric is gentle/hand wash. My hubby helps with the laundry and if I would forget to put something in the special laundering pile, he'd feel terrible it shrunk and I don't want to risk it. After making my fabric into a garment, I do my best to follow the manufacturers directions.
If you are interested, here is a link to the pattern I used: Faith top/tunic
This chambray linen behaved like a champ. There are pin-tucks down the front that were easy to sew precisely and that ruffle down the front...I simply used the rolled hem option on my serger. Easy-peasy.
Just a closer view!
This was a fun sew using a great fabric!
Thanks for reading!

Oh, I love this on you, Sue! I need to figure out how to use the rolled hem option on my serger- your ruffles look great.
Super pretty, ruffles and color together. That fabric looks like a dream to sew.
