Colour:
Shades: Midnight Drift is created from supersoft yarns to produce an all‑over mid‑denim‑blue mélanged hue, evoking deep ocean expanses with the white of crested waves gently speckling the surface.
Design: A clever basket‑weave linen‑blend fabric, woven in a grouped formation where the warp yarns are arranged in the classic over‑and‑under structure. White yarns throughout create a beautifully speckled, striated effect across the surface.
Overall: A delicious, summery palette in an equally sophisticated weave and fibre. Craft your own wearable confections with this richly textured fabric.
Properties:
Texture: This basket‑weave linen blend has a fine, complex structure that produces excellent visual and textural detail. This fabric truly benefits from being handled to appreciate its craftsmanship.
Handle: A malleable and springy hand that remains stable in width and length despite the open weave structure. The tactile quality is soft yet substantial in weight.
Drape: A soft and fluid drape when used at length, with enough body to support volume and shape.
Garment Suggestions:
Types: This fabric is well-suited to semi‑structured separates and stand‑alone garments. It will drape, tuck, and gather beautifully, perfect for voluminous sleeves, skirts, tunics, shirtdresses, and statement silhouettes.
Patterns: Consider patterns such as the Cordelia Trousers, Elodie Dress, Charlie Caftan, Naia Pants, Shepherd Skirt, Factory Dress and Florence Dress.
Other Uses:
Accessories: Create matching slouchy shoulder bags or headwear such as scrunchies and hair bows.
Furnishings: This fabric would be lovely used in the home, bringing the vibrance of a cottage garden inside the country home.
Upcycling: Use in scenic craft projects or use scraps as rustic parcel ribbons.
Rustic Texture, Cool Comfort, Everyday Ease
Linen is a natural fibre fabric perfect for summer, being cool, breathable and becoming softer and more relaxed with every wear and wash, whilst also being extremely durable and very versatile. Whether you choose it for carefree holiday outfits or shape, pleat and press it into crisp work wear, linen should be a go-to for home sewists. It has a texture and drape that gives that easy lived‑in, cool, relaxed feel, while still being able to press into something crisp when you want a cleaner look.
Its signature slubs and gentle texture lend every piece a pleasantly rustic, artisan style, perfect for floaty dresses, crisp shirts, relaxed trousers and everyday wardrobe favourites.
Linen is as much a pleasure to sew as to wear, having a stable weave that works for floaty casual dresses, wide-legged trousers or crisp office shirts and If you love natural fabrics, linen is for you.
