Wonderful DIY in linen 

Linen is a completely natural material that has been used for summer clothing for many years – and this year is no exception! 

Use linen for elegant summer shirts, a trendy bucket hat, a relaxed suit, a pair of shorts, or whatever your summer wardrobe is craving this season!  

Pick your favourite colour and start with needle and thread.  

Linen for the home 

Linen also works really well for cushions and teddy bears or as a tablecloth with matching napkins for a beautifully decorated table. Let the surface wrinkle naturally for a relaxed and modern look, or iron the tablecloth before use for a completely smooth surface.  

Linen – the natural material 

Linen is a natural fibre that has been used for clothing for thousands of years. It is a durable, light, breathable and absorbent material, often used in warm weather. It tends to wrinkle and is therefore perfect for a more casual look.  

Did you know that linen becomes softer when you wash it a few times?  

A bit more about this linen 

The fabric is made of 100% linen, comes in a width of 135 cm and precisely the length you need. This linen shrinks 5% in wash.  

We recommend using universal needles in size 80 when sewing in this linen.
