Linen is beautiful to sew and wear — but it definitely has a few quirks. ✂️

A few small choices during cutting, sewing, and pressing can make the difference between a linen piece you love for years and one that shrinks, twists, frays, or shows marks you didn’t expect.

A few mistakes to watch for:
• Skipping the prewash — linen can shrink, so wash and dry it the way you plan to care for the finished garment before cutting.
• Using the wrong needle — a fresh universal needle is a great starting point for most mid-weight linens.
• Ignoring the grainline — even slightly off-grain pieces can twist or hang unevenly.
• Using the wrong marking tools — always test first, especially on darker or textured linen.
• Leaving seams unfinished — linen loves to fray, so plan your seam finish from the start.
• Rushing with the seam ripper — slow, careful unpicking helps protect linen’s weave.

Linen isn’t necessarily difficult — it just rewards a little extra care. Once you know what it needs, you can get that beautiful drape, texture, and polished finish we all love.

We rounded up all 8 common linen sewing mistakes — plus exactly what to do instead — on the Fabric + Flow blog. Head to the link in bio to read the full guide before your next linen project.

Linen is forgiving to wear but tricky to sew. Avoid these 8 common sewing mistakes with the right needles, chalk, clips and seam ripper fixes for crisp results.

Why blend linen and viscose? Because they bring out the best in each other. 🤍

Our fabric is 70% viscose / 30% linen, giving you the timeless look of linen with an even softer feel and beautiful drape.

✨ Linen adds breathability, durability, and that natural texture we all love.
✨ Viscose brings softness, fluid movement, and a gentle drape that feels incredible to wear.

Together? You get a fabric that's cool, breathable, less stiff than 100% linen, and perfect for garments that move with you.

It's the best of both fibres—and once you've sewn with it, you'll understand why we're so obsessed.

Have you sewn with our linen? If not, what's holding you back?
