The advantages and disadvantages of linen fabrics

Let's now explore the many advantages of linen fabric, while keeping an objective eye on its few disadvantages. It's a fact, it's hard to find disadvantages because its advantages are so numerous.

First of all, linen has one quality that makes it irresistible: its breathability. This characteristic makes it a favorite choice, especially on hot summer days. This results in creations that don't suffocate you, but rather envelop you delightfully. Isn't that superb?

Next, the durability of linen deserves to be highlighted. Opting for this fabric means investing in longevity. Your creations will valiantly stand the test of time, giving you satisfaction that will last well beyond the first season.

Now let's talk about its aging, a characteristic that evokes the maturation of a good wine. Linen fabric, just like this refined beverage, improves with time. As you wear or use it, it acquires softness and becomes a real pleasure to the touch.

However, let’s be realistic. Even linen fabric, for all its qualities, has a drawback to consider. Its propensity to wrinkle can sometimes be perceived as a challenge, requiring special attention to maintain a top appearance. But honestly, in the face of all its virtues, this slight drawback only highlights the need for a more meticulous approach to fully enjoy the wonders of linen. With its various benefits and natural charm, linen remains a most attractive choice for your creations.

Our advice for sewing well with linen

1. Pre-wash:

Before starting your project, don't forget to wash your linen fabric thoroughly. We recommend machine washing in cold water to avoid any further shrinkage. This will ensure that your creation retains its dimensions after sewing.

2. Using the right needles:

Linen can be a little more demanding on needles than some other fabrics. We recommend using sewing needles that are designed for natural fabrics. This will reduce the risk of unwanted puckering and make the fabric easier to handle while sewing.

3. Iron temperature:

When ironing, set your iron to a temperature suitable for linen. This will help to create crisp creases without damaging the fibres of the linen fabric. A burst of steam can also be helpful in removing stubborn creases.

4. Sewing with care and patience:

Linen requires a little more attention when sewing. Go slowly and be sure to maintain even tension on the fabric. Finer stitching and careful finishing will be the key to achieving a flawless end result.

By following these handy tips, you can tame the specificities of linen and create beautiful pieces that reflect all the charm of this fabric. Feel free to experiment and adjust these tips to suit your specific project and sewing style.
