This top-notch European Antique Cedar fabric comes in the dark, rich and subtle lustrous hue of dark cedar brown, akin to a piece of fine polished antique furniture. Dark tones of brown are an excellent alternative to denim and navy for work wear and utility styles.
Properties:
Antique Cedar is known for its stable and tightly woven structure with a fine diagonal twill pattern. The medium-weight fabric is stable both widthwise and lengthwise, providing a crisp feel that softens beautifully with washing and wear.
This high-quality linen blend is ideal for creating sharp pleats and tucks, making it perfect for structured garments. The fabric is both durable and hardwearing, making it suitable for the whole family.
NB: It is possible that this fabric has undergone a starched treatment. We recommend conducting a wash test before use to determine the fabric's true handling.
Garment Suggestions:
This fabric lends itself perfectly to classic, crisp blazers such as The Blazer as well as overshirts. Consider it for pantsuits with long-line sleeveless shirts and wide-legged trousers, channelling a chic "Riviera" style perfect for warm summer days. Pair it with a simple vest or camisole top for a timeless French-inspired look with our Linen & Cottons.
Other Uses:
This fabric is versatile enough for accessories such as hats and caps, or to complete your wardrobe with coordinating items. Add it to your fabric stash as a staple and you’ll find numerous uses around your home, from tablecloths and napkins to embroidery projects and 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.
