Fun with Fabric / Re: Where are you all buying your fabric?

Snap - well almost snap @Lachica . I bought two lengths of linen-viscose prints from Pound fabrics (rainforest and spring garden) and they are gorjus. I think they are fine for shirts @Acorn - a reasonably sturdy shirt - not a lawn weight. The 55%linen/45% viscose are a slightly heavier weight but some of the prints are 20% linen/80% viscose and are a lighter weight if you prefer that as @Lachica suggests.
Also consider their cotton/viscose lawns - just scroll down the new fabrics page a bit. They have two abstract blobby prints and three flowery fabrics. These are super - they are lightweight and with a slubby finish which makes them look like a fine linen. They are an absolute bargain at £3.50 pm IMHO! It's interesting - you never used to see cotton and viscose combined in a fabric but now it pops up all the time and seems to work well.
