Some sewing projects begin with a particular pattern, while others start with the fabric itself. This 100% linen fabric offers a broad 280cm width and a plain, solid-colour appearance, giving you a straightforward foundation for creating pieces across clothing and home textiles.
Woven from 100% linen, the fabric is suited to a range of DIY and handmade projects. Its plain dyed finish keeps the surface visually simple, allowing the shape, construction or proportions of your finished piece to take centre stage. The generous width also gives you room to plan larger projects with the fabric dimensions in mind.
For home sewing, consider using the linen fabric for bedding, curtains, tablecloths, napkins or aprons. It can also be used for garments, making it a useful option when you want to work from your own pattern and create something specifically suited to your project. For smaller handmade pieces, careful pattern placement can help you make thoughtful use of the available fabric.
Because the fabric is 280cm wide, it is worth checking your pattern dimensions before ordering. This is particularly useful for larger home textiles, where the width can influence how a pattern is positioned and how much fabric is needed. When ordering more than one metre, the source states that the fabric is not cut into separate one-metre pieces, allowing you to plan your project around a longer continuous length.
The fabric is intended for DIY craft materials and is available as linen fabric by the metre. When selecting a colour, keep in mind that the source notes that the actual colour may vary somewhat from the appearance on different computer screens. For a considered sewing project, measure your required pieces first and order enough fabric to accommodate the pattern and layout.
Whether you are preparing fabric for a new set of home textiles or developing a garment from your own pattern, this wide-width linen fabric provides a simple starting point for making something distinctly your own.

Styling Notes
- For shirts and tops: Use the plain surface as a simple base for patterns with clean lines, minimal details or more structured construction. Before cutting, lay out the main pieces together and check how they can be positioned across the generous 280cm width.
- For dresses and larger garments: Plan the complete pattern layout before deciding how much fabric to order. The wide fabric can change how bodice, skirt and sleeve pieces are arranged, so checking the pattern dimensions first can help avoid ordering more fabric than the project requires.
- For table linens: Decide on the finished dimensions first, then plan the layout for a tablecloth, runner, napkins or apron. The plain dyed surface works naturally with both simple and more detailed finishing, allowing the colour and construction of the piece to define the final look.
- For curtains and other large home textiles: Measure the required panels carefully and compare them with the 280cm width before cutting. The generous width gives you more flexibility when planning larger pieces, particularly when the project calls for broad sections of fabric.
- For bedding: Start with the finished measurements of the sheets, covers or other bedding pieces, then work backwards to plan the cutting layout. For larger projects, ordering the fabric as one continuous length can make it easier to organise the pieces and reduce unnecessary joins.
- For smaller handmade projects: Keep the larger pattern pieces in mind first, then use remaining sections for smaller items such as napkins, simple covers or other sewing projects. Planning the layout before cutting can help make better use of the full width and reduce avoidable offcuts.
