Island Breeze Gauze Khaki, Fabric by the Yard

This product says that it is 52 in fabric, but it isn't. it's 44 inch.

I'll be ordering MORE from this seller....much more. I love their gauze fabric. It's my favorite for summer sewing. And this is simply beautiful fabric and quality material. Thank you!

The media could not be loaded.  Out of the package, there looks to be short animal hair or some type of fiber all over the fabric. Regardless of what it is, it should not have arrived in this condition and I will not be using it as intended.

I'm giving this fabric a one-star review in hopes that fabric companies will understand the importance of cutting fabric correctly. Our local fabric store use to sell gauze fabric. I would watch as she used a table designed for cutting fabric and would take the time to ensure she cut the gauze fabric along the appropriate line so it would be straight and not chip me valuable inches from the yardage. This resulted in me being able to hem the gauze fabric for a swaddle blanket as it was intended. Because I live in a rural area I have to order the bulk of my fabrics online and hope they are cut appropriately. Most of the time they are, except when it comes to my gauze and jersey knit fabrics. Is it really that hard to cut the fabric so it's edges are clean and straight? This is a beautiful piece of fabric. It would make a great swaddle blanket (especially after washing to soften it up more). The color is bright and falls in the orange hues of corals. But It's pretty much useless to me as by the time I cut off the edges to make the lines clean and straight it'll be too small. If you are wanting a squared swaddled blanket it's even worse. Because I have had this experience multiple times, I recently decided I should just order an extra 1/4th of yardage to make up for it, but in all the places I have looked online this isn't possible. You can only order by the yard. I understand anything less than a yard is a waste when ordering online but after a yard is ordered the person should be able to order 1/4th or 1/2, etc. in addition to their one or two or more yards. This needs to change. The cutting needs to change. Fabric is way too expensive for it to go to waste like this. Very disappointed in my overall purchase.

Never ever considered that my order for multiple yards of fabric would be delivered individually. So instead of the big piece of fabric I thought I had ordered, I got several small pieces that will need to be sewn together prior to cutting out a pattern. Insanity.

This is lighter gray than I'd anticipated. It's been great for making summer tunics and dresses that are lightweight, dry quickly, and don't cling. I've found that sliding a piece of paper under the fabric when starting a seam helps prevent the fabric from bunching and pulling.

Cheap price, but also cheap fabric. There’s a flaw in the fabric that I discovered halfway through a sewing project. I don’t have enough to cut another piece so I guess I’m crossing my fingers and/or planning on reinforcements immediately.You may be better off not using this for garments.

I purchased this item twice because I liked the fabric so much. Just remember to wash it first as it will shrink up some. Nice color, gauzy without being too thin.
