With its generous 280cm width and plain solid-color surface, this 100% linen fabric provides a practical foundation for sewing and handmade projects. The simple appearance keeps the focus on the shape, construction and finish of whatever you choose to create, while the unusually wide format gives you more room to plan larger pieces.
Made from 100% linen and weighing 165 gsm, the fabric is suited to a range of creative uses. The source lists clothing, pillows, sofas, tablecloths, curtains, cushions, aprons, quilting and crafting among its intended applications. This makes it a useful option when one fabric is needed across different sewing and home textile projects.
For clothing, the plain surface can work with a variety of patterns and silhouettes, allowing the cut and construction to define the finished piece. For home projects, it can be considered for tablecloths, cushions, pillowcases or other fabric pieces where a solid color creates a straightforward backdrop. The generous width can also be useful when planning larger textile projects that require substantial fabric coverage.
The fabric is described with tear resistance and abrasion resistance as key features, while its construction is listed as non-woven textile. It is also intended for cutting, sewing and stitching and is described as suitable for both domestic and non-domestic sewing machines. When preparing a project, consider the required pattern pieces and finished dimensions before cutting to make practical use of the 280cm width.
At 280cm wide, this linen fabric offers plenty of surface area for projects ranging from clothing to household textiles. Its plain design also leaves room for your own choice of pattern, construction and finishing details. Whether you are preparing fabric for a sewing project or creating a textile piece for the home, this 100% linen fabric provides a simple starting point.

Styling Notes
- For a simple shirt or top: Start with a straightforward pattern and check how the front, back and sleeve pieces can be arranged across the 280 cm width before deciding how much fabric to order.
- For a dress: Choose the pattern first, then calculate the required fabric length from the complete layout, allowing room for seams, hems and any additional sections included in the design.
- For wide-leg pants: Lay out the two leg pieces when calculating your fabric requirements, as their wider shape may require a different arrangement across the fabric width than a narrower trouser pattern.
- For an apron: A simple apron pattern can make good use of the fabric for the main body, while smaller remaining sections can be reserved for ties or other pattern pieces where the design allows.
- For curtains: Measure the finished curtain dimensions first and compare them with the 280 cm fabric width to plan the panels, seams and total length required.
- For a tablecloth: Start with the finished table dimensions and decide how much fabric you want to extend beyond the table edges before calculating the required length.
- For cushion or pillow covers: Measure the finished cover size and include the fabric needed for each panel, seams and the chosen closure construction when working out the total length.
- For a sofa project: Measure the individual sections you plan to cover and make a cutting plan before ordering, especially when several separate pieces are needed from the same fabric.
- For quilting: Sort the fabric requirements by the size and number of pieces in your pattern, then plan the cutting layout so larger sections are allocated first and smaller areas can make use of remaining fabric.
- For multiple projects: List each project separately, calculate its required fabric length from the actual pattern or finished dimensions, then combine the quantities before ordering.
- For smaller offcuts: Keep usable pieces left after cutting for small accessories, patchwork, appliqué, fabric ties or other compact sewing projects.
- For pattern-led projects: Let the actual pattern layout determine how much fabric you need rather than estimating from the project name alone, since different designs can require different amounts of material.
- For careful fabric planning: Mark out the main pattern pieces across the full 280 cm width before cutting to see how the available width can be used and where smaller pieces might fit.
