Linen Slip

I am in love...  I ordered a yard of the IL020 bleached 100% linen from http://www.fabrics-store.com/, and made myself a simple half slip from an A-line skirt pattern with elastic in the waist.  It is so comfortable! This is their "handkerchief weight" linen.  It is amazingly easy to sew, a little crisp and yet very very soft at the same time. Fabrics-Store.com has very good prices on their linens and linen blends as well as regular sales.

I used Butterick B4803

Linen is so durable, I'll probably have to mention this article in my will.  ;)

    I had a linen shirt once but found it uncomfortable. It was pretty stiff, maybe that's why. I'm glad your slip turned out so well and that you like it!
