Description
This cotton linen creases the way linen does. That belongs to the fabric and cannot be pressed away for good. Weight per square metre comes to 140 g/m², width to 140 cm. It is woven from 45 % cotton and 55 % linen.
In Ecru the fabric stays restrained. It does not push forward but lets cut and construction do the talking. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.

- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- accessories and decor

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
