Description
The linen content gives this fabric its typical irregular texture — intended, and the source of its character. 140 cm wide, 140 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 45 % cotton and 55 % linen.
The tone is Ecru — light, clear and immune to changes in fashion. What you make from it still looks right in a few years. The floral print runs across the whole surface, so no pattern piece comes out empty. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.
What Baumwoll Leinen Aquarellblüten in Bunt auf Ecru is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
