First time sewing or first time sewing with 100% linen? Start here

Do you have reservations about taking on your first project with 100% linen or about going forward with your first ever sewing experience?

It can be very hard to try something new.

Having no previous experience and not knowing what to expect is scary. Not knowing what fabric or fabric weight to use, how much it will end up costing, what the results will be and if those results will up to my standards…Well, those are certainly “one” of my worries. These reservations are so strong that I have often procrastinated with trying something new to a point of building up such pressure that I can’t start at all.

First time sewing

Here are answers to questions that bring forth these completely natural reservations. Leave worries behind and get back to just being eager to start your first project.

Use linen – it is easy to work with. The fabric doesn’t fray as you cut or sew which helps to cut out patterns well and to avoid frustration of laying seams that don’t hold where you want them to. Linen is naturally non slippery so when you are sewing pieces together, your fingers don’t get tired trying to hold on to the cloth that slides all over your sewing machine. Linen doesn’t give room to stretch it and you don’t have to worry about the pressure you are holding the fabric pieces with, when you finish sewing – the fabric won’t “spring back” leaving you with waves on every seam.

Get medium weight- it is the golden middle of cloth. Fabrics come in a huge variety of weights; getting the appropriate weight is half of the projects success. The golden middle of linen cloth is a 5.3 ounces a yard² fabric IL019. Because it is right in the middle, it is not too light or too bulky. It is made using medium thickness thread which gives it a soft hand and durability for years to come. Whatever you want to make first - IL019 will work for clothing, home décor items, hobbies such as embroidery and appliqué, costumes and recreating historical garb.

Get the best price- you deserve lower costs IL019 has been the go-to linen for over 10 years for beginners and experts alike. While prices on raw material are increasing left and right, IL019 hasn’t budged to the trend only because the constantly growing demand increases yards that need to be woven and maintains production costs. We pass these savings on to you. Hundreds of thousands of yards found happy owners. At its regular price such quality 100% linen can’t be found somewhere else, but for this week only – you can get your first yards of IL019 at an additional 10% off!

Equipped with answers to handle reservations of any first time project and with additional savings of already best available prices, this is the best time to start your sewing.

Remember, this is a limited time opportunity and will end Sunday, February 13th.
