Linen

Our collection of linen fabric includes lightweight 100% linen, linen blends and breathable summer dress fabrics perfect for garments you’ll wear again and again. Whether you're sewing dresses, trousers, shirts or relaxed tailoring, linen is valued for its strength, texture and cool handle.

Available in a wide range of colours and weights, our linen fabrics are carefully sourced, including many ex-designer and Italian-made options.

To browse fabrics made from 100% linen only, use the Yarn filter and select 100% yarn content. This will remove linen blends from your results.

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.
