washable tweed suiting - turquoise/cafe au lait .9 yds

If you love the look and feel of a pricey wool tweed but would rather do without the dry cleaning or the price, this is a fabulous alternative! I was fooled by this polyester tweed suiting, which is a dead ringer for a fine wool tweed: quite soft, malleable and easy to work with. The colors are so beautiful: turquoise, teal and cafe au lait (PANTONE 16-4535, 19-4914, 15-1215). It is medium weight with body in the drape, and is perfect for tailored suits, skirts, jackets, etc. It is identical on both sides and has pretty selvedges. Also, a great way to test a new pattern before you cut into your really expensive fabric! Machine wash, gentle, warm, and hang to dry. LAST PIECE, .9 yds.
