8 Clothing Patterns to Sew From Linen

by

I do love linen for spring and summer!  The lightweight natural fabric has a lovely texture and is highly breathable, which is important when the days turn warm.  It’s a wonderful fabric to sew with – it’s stable and holds a crease easily.  Even better, clothes made from linen tend to have simple lines which show off the color and texture of the fabric.  We’ve rounded up some beautiful sewing patterns made to be sewn from linen, sure to get you inspired for some spring and summer sewing!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
