Description
Finely drawn blossoms, leaves and tendrils in blue, purple and petrol stand dense on a dark ground. Those lines stay narrow, so this pattern reads graphic rather than lush.
A light cotton-linen at 115 g/m², 145 cm wide, from 0.2 metres. 69 % cotton makes its handle soft, 31 % linen keeps it dry — this blend drapes more fluidly than heavy linen while creasing less. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees, press at a low setting; bleaching and tumble drying are out. Wash before cutting, then your finished piece sits as you cut it. Residual shrinkage runs around 5 %, so it pays to add that when ordering.
What Baumwoll-Leinen Ira Blüten blau/lila Töne von Swafing is suitable for
- Blouses and tunics, because this pattern stays fine.
- Summer dresses, because dark grounds read slimming.
- Pairings with plain petrol, because that shade sits in the print.

Frequently asked questions
Which needle, which stitch?
A universal needle in a medium gauge plus a straight stitch will do. Finish those edges, because linen frays readily where cut — zigzag or overlock handles it quickly.
Does it suit home decoration?
Yes, for curtains, tablecloths and cushion covers it serves well. Linen curtains hang heavier than cotton ones, reading calmer — though they need more fabric for the same fullness.
Why is linen called a summer cloth?
Because that fibre takes up moisture quickly and gives it off just as fast, and because it hardly clings to skin. So it feels cooler than cotton at the same weight.
Will it shrink?
Linen pulls together noticeably in a first wash. Wash your fabric before cutting, exactly as you will care for the finished piece, so its fit survives sewing.
