Linen for Clothing

Lightweight woven imitation linen fabric is wonderful for heirloom sewing. Combine with cotton lace for ladies’ blouses, delicate lingerie, or baby dresses. Lightweight linen is also great for shadow embroidery and smocking.

Heavier linen is good for men’s shirts or ladies’ dresses. Pleats and gathers are easy to do in crisp linen. Adding a lining to dresses and skirts helps reduce wrinkling. Hopsack linen is heavy enough for tailored blazers and suits.

Natural linen has light gray/taupe color. Linen also can be bleached to a white or off white or dyed in brilliant and durable colors. A linen sundress, shirt dress, or dress shirt can add luxury to last season’s wardrobe.

Linen for the Home

Linen has become a generic term for all household textiles: sheets, towels, tablecloths, etc., even though many of those items are now made of cotton or cotton/polyester blends. You can still choose to use linen for your household linens.

With linen fabric by the yard, you can measure a dining room table and create a tablecloth that is just the right size. Trim with a simple hem or use Italian hemstitching, cross stitch embroidery, or other needlework to create an heirloom look. Sew pillowcases and stitch monograms on the hems for a special wedding gift. Make linen dish towels, place mats, or aprons to coordinate with your kitchen décor.

Linen is durable and washable, so any sewing you do with this versatile fabric will give you years of beautiful service. Like fine wine, linen becomes better with age. Laundering makes it ever more lustrous and soft. Try sewing a linen top or towel and see how you like it. Then move on to a bigger project. Enjoy this natural fabric for your modern lifestyle.
