I finally pulled out my old hankerchief linen stash from old Denver Fabrics, only 3 yards, and am making it into a new smock. I was despairing of ever finding its like again, since many stores have such slubby linen at this weight, or it is a blend with cotton or rayon, or it is super expensive. But to learn that there is a store that has even better quality linen at this weight? Ah, like mana from heaven.
Thank you Marion for sharing this info. I look forward to buying some from Gray Line for my family's nicer smocks. And checking today, their site is still having errors. But I can wait.

I adore it, its very smooth, not slubby and tightly woven, so you won't get the pulling at the seams like the linen from fabric-store.com. I love all the chemises and veils that I've made from it. (Do you remember the old Denver Fabrics handkerchief linen from 6-7 years ago? Its just like that, only better) Yes, it would make a lovely embroidered shirt. <snip> _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
