The higher linen content provides breathability and structure, while the cotton helps soften the fabric and improve colour retention. As a natural fibre fabric with a slightly loose weave, it may fray during sewing and prints appear softer and less vibrant than on smoother cotton bases, giving it a natural, textured look.

This fabric is ideal for shirts, tops, pants, blazers, tea towels, napkins, and tablecloths, and is especially well suited to cool, comfortable summer garments.

A beautiful addition to any fabric stash, linen cotton blend combines breathability, softness, and natural texture.

Care: Hand wash or cold gentle machine wash. Line dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry.

Rayon

Rayon is a lightweight woven fabric known for its soft, slightly silky feel and beautiful drape, making it perfect for garments with movement and flow. Breathable and comfortable to wear, it’s especially well suited to warm weather and summer clothing.

With no stretch on either grain, rayon works best with patterns designed for relaxed or loose-fitting garments. The fluid nature of the fabric means it can shift while cutting and sewing, so using a rotary cutter and pattern weights can help achieve the best results. As rayon may shrink, pre-washing is recommended before sewing.

This fabric is ideal for swing tops, dresses, loose camisoles, wrap skirts, shorts, scarves, loose pants, and woven harem pants, or any project that benefits from a soft drape.

A lovely addition to any fabric stash, rayon combines breathability, softness, and fluid movement.

Caring for your fabrics

IMPORTANT: Fabric can shrink by up to 10% in its first wash, so we highly recommend pre-washing all fabric before starting your sewing projects. Wash your fabric the same way you plan to wash the finished garment to avoid surprises later.

We recommend washing in cool water (40°C or below) on a gentle cycle, and line drying in the shade. Use a quality laundry detergent without whitening or bleaching agents to help preserve colour, and wash with similar colours.

Some sewists like to use colour catchers when washing knit fabrics for the first time, but this is optional.

Swim fabric care: If you are sewing with swim fabric, rinse and wash garments as soon as possible after exposure to chlorine to help extend the life of the fabric.
