Linen Fabric

Linen fabrics are some of the most versatile fabrics in use. Linen is used in everything from furniture to shoes. Linen fabric is made from the fibers of the flax plant and real linen is very labor intensive, making it a relatively expensive, luxurious fabric. When other types of fibers, like cotton, are woven into a linen-like pattern they are often called linen. These fabrics are typically more economical. Linen is often used in quilting patterns and stencils and is popular for summer clothing because it breathes well. Create a comfortable summer dress or suite by choosing linen fabric for your next project.
