Description
The linen content gives this fabric its typical irregular texture — intended, and the source of its character. At 155 g/m² and 135 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 45 % cotton and 55 % linen. Mind the residual shrinkage of 5 %: wash the fabric once before cutting, the way you will wash the finished piece.
With Hot Pink you get a warm tone that stays fresh through many washes. Stripes are the pattern that never goes out of fashion and suits almost any combination. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets.
What Baumwoll-Leinen Paul Streifen meliert Pink von Swafing is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- cushions and table linen
- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
