I have mixed feelings about this fabric. It is hard to cut, both my (rather decent) pairs of scissors struggled. Next time I’ll try using a rolling knife. It also behaves more like paper than textile in that it crinkles easily. It’s stiff and unforgiving, one need to be presice when cutting and sewing. On the plus side it is really strong and the midnight blue is beautiful, especially in sun light.
