5 out of 5 starsFantastic service and communication from this seller. She got a swatch out to me promptly, and let me know when the stock was running low so I wouldn’t miss out. The extremely fine, sheer wool gauze woven in a tone-on-tone brick red sort of plaid pattern is STUNNING!! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
Do you accept returns on fabric?
All sales are final on fabrics. I will accept exchanges on fabric if the buyer is unhappy with their purchase due to the product or service. In such cases, the buyer is responsible for paying for all shipping expenses.
Due to color temperatures on individual computer monitors, I do not guarantee colors on fabrics, nor do I guarantee shipping times after the item has been shipped.
Is shipping really that high?
Usually, the answer to this question is "no." All US packages over $35 will ship free. International packages will be charged for shipping, and we suggest you contact us for a reserved listing with the exact shipping charge, as Etsy usually does not calculate the charge correctly.
