I made a dress shirt for my husband in my college sewing class. This fabric worked beautifully and was so pleasant to sew with! My only complaint was when I was sewing with the grain line, I noticed my stitches stood out significantly. But going perpendicular they look perfect and tightly stitched together. I thought I had a too big needle size or something was wrong with my machine at first but realized it’s just how the fabric was! Super odd, I’ve never noticed that in another fabric (I’m in my 4th advanced sewing class so not a novice but not a total expert), maybe it’s a thing and was just more dramatic in this Oxford weave. I probably wouldn’t have noticed either if I wasn’t sewing something where perfect topstitching and edgestitching was a critical part of the make. But it’s fine it worked out and the shirt looks amazing! Would honestly purchase this fabric again for a shirt or dress for me.

I used this fabric for pocket bags and zip guards on three pairs of trousers, two made of 8 oz twill, one of 10 oz canvas. It works wonderfully for this purpose. It lies flat and slim under the thicker material, but is strong.
