Summer Sewing Trends - Linen Looks

[@marathorne6821]

Flares from the 90s? Some of us old fogeys associate them with the 70s! 😁 Lovely either way, particularly in linen 😍

I love sewing with linen and the look of it especially when it’s blended with cotton or rayon. I made my first blazer recently in a cotton/ linen. . In fact, now that I think about it , it was a blazer pattern you mentioned awhile back and I purchased it from you. Turned out terrific, I’m so pleased and will wear it a lot. Thanks! If your viewers are interested, Karina from Lifting Pins and Needles has been doing vlogs focusing on linen - all aspects of sewing, care, etc.

Love the linen look and although have not sewn with this fabric I would like to for when we go into our spring weather here in Aussie land later on this year. Thanks Lucy for sharing and love the colours you showed us!

love, want to do linen things, can't afford the nicer more expensive linens though. Think I'll just buy less expensive and go with it for now, learn how to work with it.

Look for linen tablecloths in thrift shops.

Beautiful coloured linens

I'm on my fourth pair of True Bias Lander pants! Two pairs are cotton twill, one is gabardine and my latest pair is stretch denim (from Sew Essential - left over from another project). I just love that pattern and I wear them all. Maybe my fifth pair will be linen! I have found the straight rectangular waistband gapes at the back on me so I use the curved waistband from the Closet Core Ginger Jeans.

Lovely choices! I just did a huge linen haul for Spring, Summer and Fall. I am of an age where we wore bell bottoms. You wore flairs.😀

What do you think about this ❓ I have striped linen would look sharp as a jumpsuit, BUT my being 69 yrs have the need to bathroom very often 🥲 So I want to cut a jumpsuit in half and put elastic on both cut ends to layer on top of each other to look like a waistline But it’s really separated for easier bathroom use. 🤔🤔

[@anitahornbrook745]

Love this channel. At what temperature do you prewash the fabric before sewing?

[@christinefarley9101]

Love the blouse Lucy

[@alfa5243]

Please, is this Facebook page available in the states. This is a great resource for home sewing of garments. I don’t see any downloads on the products she is talking about.

What linen blend isn’t scratchy? Every linen I’ve had is scratchy no matter how much I’ve washed it.

[@lynnm.johnson5755]

Have you tried washing the fabric in Coke? It's a tip from Peggy Sagers, to soften fabrics.

[@cleanqueen75]

@@lynnm.johnson5755 no haven’t tried that. Wouldn’t that stain it?

[@JosieStev]

@@cleanqueen75 She claims it doesn’t. I haven’t tried it. I have a scratchy black linen I will experiment with Coke

[@bethbalius7200]

How badly does linen wrinkle?
