That takes me back to my childhood memories of Mother and her sewing and hearing the word "lawn". That was considerable years ago, believe me and I hadn't heard that word in years until now. Like deja vu.

Laura Ingalls often had dresses made out of 'lawn' fabrics!

Yes, I know it for very light weight summer garments.

I remember it from the vintage clothing we used to collect and model.

If you look at the cotton lawn quilt they have in the magazine, note that they hung it in a window and you can see the seam allowances through the quilt. Seems to me the quilt would be very soft and drapeable, but I'm not sure how well it would wear. Wouldn't the seam allowances have a tendency to fray a lot?

How does it compare o the thickness of cotton batiste?

I would use it to make a wholecloth trapunto quilt.

And some new nightgowns. It's beautiful fabric and perfect for antique styling and sewing techniques - pintucking, smocking, faux hemstitching, entredeaux. I didn't realize CT was carrying it now, so thanks for the heads up.

I sooo badly it were available in quilting cotton. I love the prints, but not lawn for a lap quilt for myself.

Cotton lawn would be good for objects in a wall hanging or table runner ... something that would not be heavily used. It is a bit heavier than batiste but not as "heavy" as cotton broadcloth (if I could describe broadcloth as heavy). I could see it used as accents in an art quilt.

Used to make my 3 daughters summer dresses for church from it. Very delicate.
