Linen fabrics are loved for dressmaking thanks to their breathability, natural texture and beautiful drape. This mid-weight linen offers enough structure for defined silhouettes while still feeling soft and easy to wear.

- Easy to handle and suitable for beginners and above

Care instructions:
We recommend machine washing at 30°C on a linen cycle with a mild detergent before sewing to allow for any shrinkage. Do not tumble dry. This fabric is designed to be worn without ironing for a relaxed, effortless look. Do not dry in direct sunlight as the colour can bleach out and fade.
Buying guide: Sold by the half metre. For example, order a quantity of 2 for 1 metre.
