Description
Cotton linen combines the cool handle of linen with the easy care of cotton. The fabric is 140 cm wide and weighs 140 g/m². It is made from 45 % cotton and 55 % linen.
Ecru is the lightest step in the range: the fabric reads clean and light and combines with whatever lies beside it. Its floral pattern gives the fabric its theme — depending on the cut it reads playful or calm. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker.
What Baumwoll Leinen Blüten in Pastelltönen auf Ecru is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- patchwork and quilting
- bags and pouches

Frequently asked questions
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
