Linen Lovers

Hi I'm new here! I just found Charlie Darwin and am still contemplating which pattern to make first. I've been sewing casually for about 20 years, although lately mostly just for pattern testing and Tauko make-and-shares. I have a trip this summer I'm starting to brainstorm for.

Do you all have a favorite place to buy linen fabric? For a long time I was buying from fabrics-store.com but their linens don't hold up great over time. I'm looking for a bargain and better quality if possible! TIA!

I don’t know how many in this group follow Bernadette Banner, but she just posted a YouTube video about searching for a new source of “historical quality” linen. She is in the UK and makes historical garments, so the focus is not quite the same as here, but it’s interesting to see and compare the various qualities of linen.

Has anyone tried the linen fabric from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club? It looks so fun!
