A plain linen fabric can give a project a clean foundation while leaving the colour, silhouette and finished details to take centre stage. This 100% linen fabric is woven at a fixed width of 135cm, with a plain-dyed surface and a listed weight of 170g/m.
Described as medium thickness, the fabric is suitable for a range of clothing projects, including shirts and dresses. It is also listed for children’s clothing, offering another direction for simple garments where a plain linen surface can define the overall look without introducing an additional pattern.
The fabric has a subtly slubbed character and is described as medium soft and non-transparent. These details give the plain surface some visual texture while keeping the overall appearance straightforward. It is available in plain colours, making the choice of colour an important part of the finished project.
Beyond clothing, the fabric can be used for cushions and tablecloths, as well as other DIY sewing and handicraft projects. The 135cm width provides a consistent working format across different types of projects, from individual garments to smaller home textiles.
Length options are available in 1m, 2m and 5m. Multiple orders are supplied as one continuous piece, so ordering three 1m lengths provides a single 3m piece, while combining one 1m and one 2m order provides one continuous 3m piece. This makes it practical to purchase the length required for a larger project without receiving separate cuts.

Styling Notes
- For a linen shirt: Use the plain surface for a classic button-up, relaxed everyday shirt or simple blouse. The slubbed texture adds subtle interest while keeping the overall design uncomplicated.
- For a linen dress: This fabric works well for a straight day dress, shirt dress or relaxed silhouette where the chosen colour and clean shape can define the finished piece.
- For linen children’s clothing: Create simple dresses, shirts or other everyday garments where the plain-dyed surface keeps the design easy to coordinate.
- For cushions: Use the fabric for simple cushion covers when you want a plain linen base with a little surface texture rather than a printed pattern.
- For table linens: A plain-dyed linen tablecloth can provide a simple foundation for the dining table, with the fabric colour becoming the main visual element.
