Thank you for this very informative information. I have not sewn personal garments for many years but want to make some things for myself. This linen seems to be a game changer for me and I am excited to have a new adventure in sewing. I did not know there were so many different kinds of linen fabric. I have always loved Tencel clothing and now I understand why. Thank you for your enlightenment.

Hoping to get an idea of the next linen I should buy for the flow I desire. I saw a linen skirt recently and bought linen for the first time, washed and dried several times before cutting in order to get it softer and easy to care for. It’s heavy, very heavy and not as flowy as I’d hoped for. The description on the roll was just linen. The “look” of texture is great, slubby and natural looking.Any idea of what I should have purchased?

what seam finish do you recomend using on linen? I am using linen for the first time teaching a young lady how to sew. She picked the linen out of my stash from a fabric store closing in our area.

I like what I have read about linen - 1) warm weather comfort, 2) no need to press the garments, and 3) it gets softer over time. However, I have my doubts about that last point. The only linen garment I have is a sleeveless blouse from J. Peterman, labeled 100% linen and made in China. I have had it for 12-ish years, wear it 2-3 times a years then hand wash it to cut back on shrinking. This means I have washed it from 24ish to 36ish times since I bought it. But my blouse is as crunchy as it was the day it was delivered. * Is my definition of "soft" off base? (For example, cotton is soft, my cat is soft, panna cotta is soft.) * Am I washing it the wrong way? * Is J Peterman's label untrustworthy? Thank you.

100% linen will never get as soft as a cotton lawn, but it should soften over time compared to when it is first sewn with / warn

How to spot the difference between ramie and flax linen..? They look quite similar to me..

@SewMeSunshine 9 ай бұрын

It is incredibly hard to tell the difference as they have very similar properties. Linen is made from the flax plant, whereas ramie is made from a nettle plant. They both don't require excess water and they are both biodegradable. Honestly, doing a burn test on both it is incredibly difficult to tell the difference between the two. Ramie just tends to be finer and have a slightly silky sheen compared to linen.

@@SewMeSunshine could u tell me which is better on sensitive skin...many people told me that ramie slightly more scratchy than linen on skin .by the way thanks for the reply..

@SewMeSunshine 9 ай бұрын

@@CozyReadingandReview679 I wouldn't say that ramie is slightly more scratchy personally. I would say it more depends on the weight and weave. Linen / Ramie can be quite stiff and will soften with washing over time.

@Joy Margot dear joy, glad to rec your reply; as i was thinking of my initial post. again, i apologize. i'm much older than you, so that's part of my problem. i was remembering my grandmom after a day of cleaning the rooms at her little motel. before seeing her customers at night she would straighten out her hair, put on some light make-up, and don a dress and costume jewelry. today, however, business, church, shopping, etc. are done in a more casual manner. hey, look how i am writing this post w/improper lettering and w/abbreviations! and, yes, male business owners should fix themselves up before greeting customers. in our little town men do; it's a matter of being professional. i don't differentiate btwn male and female and lgbtq+ folks. they are all equal in my eyes. at least i learned that in my old age:-) congrats on your success. best of luck to you and your staff. i will work on my view of the world. thanks for your time.

Wait a moment. There is a fabric that costs more because there are people making such that the people who are working to make it are made sure they are treated nicely? Who is making the other fabrics? Kids againt their will for no money? I'm so confused by this.
