Why Is Linen Fabricv Expensive
The cost of linen fabric varies considerably depending on the quality. However, superior quality linen can be quite expensive, and there are a couple of reasons for this higher price. First, manufacturing linen is a time-consuming and laborious process, which is the main factor that drives its higher price.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how linen is made.
Harvesting Flax Plant
The flax plant is ready to be harvested about 90 days after the seeds are planted. When it’s time for harvesting, the flax plant cannot simply be cut. The entire plant must be uprooted intact from the ground. This helps obtain the maximum length of the fibre, which is key to manufacturing high-quality linen. Uprooting each plant is tedious work and takes a whole lot of time.
With 1.75 metres of de Linum’s sheer blossom printed 100% french flax linen in hand and Style Arc’s Anita Peasant Blouse pattern, I began my newest sewing project. My goal was to create a considered, intentional garment - a trans-seasonal piece that could be worn for work and pleasure, and I am so pleased with how the final product hit the mark.
Upon receiving my fabric I immediately notice the smooth hand feel of the fibre, complemented by the almost gauze texture. The delicate blossom print was the perfect romantic compliment to my existing wardrobe of earthy neutrals.
When I received the gorgeous light khaki linen blend fabric from de Linum I was so happy to see how beautifully crisp and structured the fabric felt. It would be perfect for my Aje inspired structured puff sleeve mini dress.
I started off with my trusty raglan sleeve pattern block which I slashed and spread (the front, back and sleeves) to achieve the volume. I probably could have done with a little less volume but that's the price I pay for not making a toile first…
After gathering and assembling the bodice I somehow winged the neck facing which isn't perfect from the inside but it does the job!
I turned the back opening in for the button plackets and then turned the hem up to make the elastic casings.
History of linen is dated back to ancient civilisations. In fact, linen and its use has been associated with great civilisations.
In ancient Egypt, Linen was used for making elite clothing, and religious purposes. It is believed that mummies of pharaohs were wrapped in pure white linen. They must have considered linen to be the best for mummification due to its purity and longevity.
Sacred texts including Holy bible mentions about linen and it shows its historic significance. Bible has 58 mentions about pure linen.
