Specifications:
Manufactured in Europe
Weight: Medium
GSM: 205
Composition: 35% Linen & 65% Cotton
Width: 142cm / 55.9inch
Colour:
Dark, smokey, rich and intense. Roasted Coffee Bean, a seriously smart glossy dark-mid brown, akin to its namesake or a piece of lovingly polished antique furniture. Dress this dark nature hue up with cream silk blouses or down with a simple white Tshirt!
Properties:
A medium-weight textured, fine basket weave with a subtle sheen. The reverse is less textured and much softer. The natural fibres give a soft yet sturdy linen and cotton quality that will continue to soften with wash and wear.
This open weave fabric is stable width and lengthwise with good opacity (Akin to a tropical weave). A reassuring drape will be achieved when using this fabric at lengths over one metre. This high-quality linen blend fabric will form sharp pleats and full gathers where required.
Garment Suggestions:
Roasted Coffee Bean's medium weight and crisp hand make it the ideal candidate for many uses from the stylish to the practical.
Classic crisp blazers like The Blazer by The Avid Seamstress and over shirts are of course a must but consider pantsuits with long-line sleeveless shirts and wide-legged trousers which are also a fabulously chic "Riviera" style, perfect for those hot summer days. Wear it with a simple vest or camisole top for that classic French look.
Put Roasted Coffee Bean to use for utility-style clothing, and apron dresses Sew Different's Herba Apron and the Harvester Pants are ideal for layering.
Home Furnishing:
Ideal for lightweight soft furnishings such as cushions, café curtains, and lined blinds.

About Linen
Linen not only offers ‘cool chic’ looks, but also comfort, durability, and sustainability, and is an exceptional fabric to wear throughout spring and summer months. It comes in weights from super light and floaty, through ‘shirt crisp’ to softly draping skirt and trouser weight, which can even find a place in the seasonal transition wardrobe. Derived from the flax plant, linen is celebrated for its breathability and moisture-wicking properties, ensuring you stay cool and dry during warmer months. Its natural fibres allow for excellent air circulation, making garments feel light and comfortable even on the hottest days.
One of the standout features of linen is its durability. The fabric's inherent strength resists abrasion and pilling, ensuring that your garments maintain their beauty over time. Additionally, linen will soften with each wash, enhancing comfort without compromising its robust nature. This makes linen ideal for creating timeless wardrobe staples, such as trousers, tunics, shirts and dresses.
Linen's hypoallergenic and antibacterial qualities make it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or allergies. Its natural resistance to bacteria ensures garments remain fresh.
From an environmental perspective, linen is a sustainable choice. Flax cultivation requires minimal water and pesticides, and every part of the plant is utilised, resulting in zero waste. Moreover, linen is biodegradable and recyclable, minimising environmental impact.
For those seeking high-quality linen fabrics, Fabworks offers a curated collection suitable for various projects. While 100% linens are favoured for their crispness and that classic ‘linen look’, linen-cotton blends have the benefits of both fibres, offering the durability
of linen teamed with the softness and gentle handle & drape of cotton. Both these compositions are perfect for creating comfortable and stylish summer garments.
Incorporating linen into your spring and summer sewing projects not only enhances your wardrobe with breathable and durable pieces but also supports sustainable practices, making it a choice that benefits both you and the environment.
