Why choose linen fabric?
Linen fabric is made from flax fibres and is known for its durability, breathability and distinctive natural texture. It softens beautifully with washing while retaining its structure, making it ideal for garments that need both comfort and shape.
For dressmaking, linen works particularly well for:
- Summer dresses and shirt dresses
- Wide-leg trousers and relaxed tailoring
- Shirts, blouses and lightweight jackets
- Co-ords and capsule wardrobe pieces
If you prefer something with less creasing, linen blends offer the same airy quality with added drape or softness, often combined with cotton or viscose.
Lightweight or heavier linen?
Lightweight linen fabric is ideal for warm weather clothing and layering pieces. Midweight linen suits trousers, pinafores and everyday dresses. Heavier linen works well for structured garments and transitional pieces.
When sewing with linen, pre-washing is recommended to allow for natural shrinkage and to enhance softness.
