This was my first time ordering fabric from Core Fabrics and I couldn’t be more pleased. The shipping to Pennsylvania was surprisingly quick and my fabric was all so nicely packaged. Each type has a card with washing instructions, weight, yardage, etc. pinned to it. The fabric was wrapped in tissue by human hands and a great reminder of why I want to patronize small businesses with thoughtful purchases instead of overbuying from the big box stores. I can’t wait to get going on a garment for spring and summer. I just have to decide on the pattern and take the plunge!
So happy with the quality of the broadcloth. Equally pleased that the colour was exactly what I wanted. Package arrived when promised, to Ireland. Excellent service. Thank you
I recently joined crew and decided to sew the Celia dress for an upcoming event. I used a viscose I purchased from Core Fabrics almost a year ago which worked very well for this pattern. My only adjustment was shortening the dress as I’m only 5’3”. Excellent instructions. A very enjoyable sew. I have also enjoyed the support from the crew community. So glad I finally signed up.
This was my first Closet Core make and I must call it a complete success. I was apprehensive about all the interfacing but I was wrong to be, the shirt hangs beautifully and fits well. Also, covered plackets work best with my straight stitch only machine, because the on seam buttonholes are hidden.
I made a simple version of this shirt using Linen. I liked the curved yokes for my version. The instructions are great and easy to follow.
