Peerless Black is a finely, woven, European linen and cotton twill fabric. Classic black, timeless, sophisticated, smart, stylish, understated, easily dressed up or down and of course goes with everything! It's no wonder black is one of the top tones for designers and fashionistas.
Properties:
A combination of strong, breathable blended yarns in classic black, Peerless Black has excellent stability and the most beautiful, reassuring drape quality which displays its fine lustre and detailing the fine diagonals of the twill weave, combined with the superfine cross-hatched finely slubbed detail of the linen.
It is perfect for a mountain of uses. This fabric will hold crisp details like collars and cuffs plus it will form superb ruffles, gathers and pleats. Drill and twill styles have perennial appeal, and classic blacks will help to form key pieces within any wardrobe. This natural fibre blend makes for a strong yet breathable and kind to sensitive skin fabric, that is perfect for clothing all members of the family.
Garment Suggestions:
Create unique shirts and blouses, shirtdresses, tunics and the most elegant and wearable dresses you will return to season after season. Take a look at Tessuti Patterns they have a wide range of styles from tops and simple trousers to tunics and dresses. Vogue Patterns V1672 is an elegant wrap bodice dress that we love, with a gently flared skirt it is perfect for wearing throughout the seasons, layering up as we go into autumn/winter with cardigans, chunky tights and boots.
Emphasise the wonderful lustrous drape with the gathered tiers and prairie style of patterns such as the Sew Different's Layer Up Collection and Megan Nielsen Protea Capsule Wardrobe. If trousers are more your style, The Pattern Stash - Cordelia Trousers or Zadie Jumpsuit are ideal.
Utility styles are super useful and never date. The Assembly Line Patterns are ideal for this, as are Merchant & Mills and The Maker's Atelier. There are of course lots of other fabulous pattern brands out there just choose patterns that let the fabric sell itself.
Other Uses:
Aprons, napkins, table covers, runners, applique, embroidery and so much more!

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.
