Specifications:
Manufactured in Europe
Weight: Light
GSM: 170
Composition: 100% Linen
Width: 146cm / 57.5inch
Colour:
Rich deep resinous brown, the colour of the giant sentinels of coniferous forests. This pleasing spicy, Redwood brown is an almost a toasted cinnamon hue. Team with other warm spice hues, rich tans, golden yellows and earthy greens for a truly bohemian nature-based palette.
Properties:
This finely woven, classic shirt-weight linen boasts the characteristic fine slubs and cross-hatched appearance one would expect from a quality flat-weave linen. The closely woven fine yarns produce a fabric that is stable with good opacity, yet malleable and drapey enough for soft gathers, pleats and tucks on blouses and dresses, whilst crisp enough for classic shirt details.
Garment Suggestions:
Use this classic shirt-weight linen to create beautiful summer-to-autumn styles. Consider patterns like the Triple Tuck Smock, and Folia Frock or explore Lagenlook designs from Boho Banjo and the fashion aesthetic of Gudrun Sjoden. The gathered, tiered silhouettes and simple tops in the Megan Nielsen Protea Capsule Wardrobe are perfect for this shirt-weight linen.
For stylish and practical makes, check out patterns from Tessuti Patterns, Merchant and Mills and The Assembly Line.
Design loose layering vests, A-line styles, shark-bite overtunics, sleeveless overdresses, and skirts. Experiment with textile-art-inspired pieces, incorporating embroidery, weaving, and lace appliqué for a unique touch.
Home Furnishing:
Light and airy window drapes with a very Boho-free-spirited look. Also perfect for fresh table runners and napkins.

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.
