I'm still sewing up my very first swimsuit, the Closet Core Sophie using Core Fabrics and the Closet Core online class. It is much easier sewing than I anticipated, partly because of the stability and nice weight of the fabrics. Thanks!
Love the fabric. Can’t wait to sew it up.

I purchased the Tartan Cotton Flannel in cream, taupe and grey and love it! I sewed it into a Frida Shirt by The Modern Sewing Company. It feels absolutely wonderful, so soft and fuzzy. It is a lightweight but very high quality flannel, which was perfect for my project. I would love to see this fabric in more muted light colors such as this. I don't want to take it off and would love to make more shirts with this fabric!
Beautiful fabric! Washes well and almost no shrinkage. Drapes well too.
The fabric is wonderful, washes well and dries well with little shrinkage. Feels great in your hands! Unfortunately for me, the color turned out brighter than I'd like. I should have ordered a sample prior to purchase.
One point I hope may be adjusted in purchases, and that is the measurements are always in 1/2 yard increments. I often find patterns call for 1/8, 1/4 yards. Perhaps 1/4 yard increments can be considered for future. Currently I end up with too much for waste, not enough for clothing.
Sometimes the laptop colour doesn't capture the true tone/shade of a fabric sample, and I am so thrilled that the fabric is richer, moodier and so much more luxurious in real life - so much so, that I am now using it as the main look for a fall capsule wardrobe! Beautiful design and rich, beautiful autumn colours for me, I can't tell you how perfect this fabric is to sew and wear. Thank You Core Fabrics!
