This pure linen fabric offers a straightforward foundation for clothing and handmade sewing projects. Made from 100% linen, it has a thin, soft and non-stretch construction with a woven finish. Its plain surface keeps the fabric versatile, allowing the chosen colour to become the main visual element of a finished garment.
The fabric measures 135cm wide and weighs 230g/m. It is available in purple red, dark green, purple, dark gray, light blue and light gray. Each metre is supplied as a continuous 1m × 1.35m piece, while multiple quantities are cut as one continuous length. This makes it practical to plan larger projects that require more than one metre of fabric.
For a linen shirt, the fabric provides a simple base for both everyday shirt designs and more relaxed styles. It can also be used for T-shirts, giving a linen alternative to more structured woven garments. The non-stretch construction is an important consideration when choosing a sewing pattern, particularly for projects designed around a fixed woven fabric.
The fabric is also suited to dresses and skirts, where its plain colour can define the overall appearance of the finished piece. For pants and suits, the 135cm width gives you a fixed area to work with when planning the project and calculating the total fabric length. Because multiple metres are supplied in one continuous piece, you can order according to the full requirements of a larger garment rather than working with separate one-metre sections.
Beyond everyday clothing, the fabric is listed for handmade DIY projects, giving you room to explore smaller sewing ideas alongside larger garments. Choose from the available colours according to the character you want for the finished project, then order the required continuous length for your pattern.

Styling Notes
- For a linen shirt: Use this plain fabric for a classic button-up shirt, relaxed everyday shirt or simple short-sleeve style. Choose one of the deeper colours for a more defined shirt or a lighter shade for a quieter everyday look.
- For a linen dress: The plain surface works well for a simple straight dress, relaxed day dress or understated shirt dress, allowing the selected colour to become the main feature of the finished piece.
- For linen pants: Use the fabric for straight-leg, relaxed or wide-leg pants when you want the silhouette to provide the main visual interest. The solid colour also makes the finished trousers easy to pair with patterned or textured tops.
- For a linen T-shirt: This fabric can be used for a simple woven T-shirt design when you want a clean alternative to more conventional T-shirt fabrics. Keep the overall design uncomplicated so the linen texture and chosen colour remain noticeable.
- For a linen suit: Use the fabric for a coordinated jacket and trousers when you want a complete look in one colour, or choose it for a single jacket or pair of trousers as a more focused linen piece.
