Description
Large, openly painted blossoms in yellow, pink, purple and green lie close together on a dark ground. Their centres are set dark, so each bloom gains depth and this pattern reads painted rather than printed.
69 % cotton, 31 % linen, 115 g/m², 145 cm wide — Ira is the lightest cloth in this group, so the most summery. Cotton predominates, which is why Ira creases less than pure linen while feeling softer. By the metre from 0.2 metres, gentle cycle at 30 degrees, press low. Being sheer, it repays a lining or a second layer in pale colours and close-fitting pieces. Residual shrinkage runs around 5 %, so it pays to add that when ordering.
What Baumwoll-Leinen Ira Blüten Bunt von Swafing is suitable for
- Summer dresses, because large blooms show best across a large area.
- Blouses, because a light cloth drapes pleasantly.
- Pairings with plain yellow, because that colour sits in the print.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to match the pattern?
This pattern runs evenly across the width with no visible top or bottom. So you can lay pattern pieces freely and save fabric, because nothing needs aligning with repeats.
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.
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.
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.
