This European linen and cotton blend fabric is woven in a combination of lighter and darker-toned lustrous navy yarns. The combination of tones produces an overall dark sapphire hue with the depth of a precious gem. The twill weave produces vertical tripes, which emphasise the lustrous sheen of the yarns.
Properties:
Woven in a stylish jumbo twill, which creates raised diagonal lines, which catch the light with a lustrous sheen you may presume was silk! Lightly but pleasantly textured, almost akin to silk gros grain, yet with a much softer drape. Black Sapphire is stable, closely woven with a gentle bias ease that produces a reassuring drape quality, which is soft, and malleable drape quality - perfect for creating occasion wear and formal attire with stylish flair.
Garment Suggestions:
Make excellent statement shirts and blouses, shirt dresses, cowl-necked dresses, drapey play suits and jumpsuits, loose-fitting trousers such as palazzo pants, harems and culottes, and so much more!
Create bias cut silhouettes, wide-legged trousers, jumpsuits or kimono robes. This fabric is wonderfully versatile, let your creativity run wild with our Linen & Cottons.

Ideal for creating matching accessories or soft home furnishings.

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.
