Eve Linen - Sage Flat Sheet

Wonderful fabric, unusual review, maybe.

To set the scene, as it were, I am a seamstress. I make my own duvet covers. I do this because even though a person has a queen sized duvet, or king or what ever it does not mean that it is the same size as every other duvet of a given name size. They are not. I also like mine made a particular way with a closure of my design. In order to do this I buy king sized flat sheets, cut them to the right size for my duvet and make them. I did this with the lovely linen sheets. I bought them in 2 colors and made two covers. I then purchased the cotton one in the same color to make fitted sheets and pillow cases as I don’t like sleeping ON linen, just under it. The cotton ones are just as wonderful and oh so smooth and luxurious. I also made Euro sham out of the linen. I’m sure that the sheets themselves are good for those who are not nit-picky perfectionists and sewers. Here comes my only complaint. The top and bottom hems are almost perfect. The side hems are waaaaaay off. I know this because in order to recut them to make a duvet cover or sheet or pillow case I do what’s called pull a thread. That insures that you are cutting right on the weave. If you are one of 99% of the people who may be reading this (if it gets posted) you won’t care, nor should you. If you are another person such as myself buying these to make something be aware that they are not cut straight. I would love to just purchase the fabric. The linen is so soft and cuddlesome. Until then I will have to buy sheets and recut them to make my own duvet covers and fitted sheets. Bottom line is I would and will buy these again and would recommend them to my friends who don’t sew. Really lovely fabrics. A++++
