If you're buying linen fabric for a home sewing project you might be wondering whether it needs pre-washing or any other kind of treatment before you get started.
Linen is one of the most pleasurable fabrics to work with. It not only looks super professional once you're finished (regardless of how experienced you are at making things) but it's also a dream to sew.
As you know, we're huge fans of all things linen over at Linenbeauty. From its humble origins in the flax fields to its multi-purpose versatility, it's a fabric that contains centuries of human history within its threads.
When you start on an upholstery project it's just as important to consider the function of the piece of furniture as the overall look. Get this wrong, and no matter how pretty the chair might look, it won't last long and you'll find yourself having to recover it.
As a third generation business working with linen is in our DNA. While our day-to-day life is concerned with designing, creating and dispatching beautiful linen homewares, we also appreciate the long and fascinating history of this magical fabric.
