The best part is that it lasts for many, many years.&nbsp; The price might seem high, but given that the fabric will give you many years I think it's worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Linen V-Top Pattern\" class=\"wp-image-58223 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_0978-150x113.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
