Linen Lovers

👋Hey cuties, welcome to this cozy corner for all things in plant-based sewing! To kick us off, please share what you are sewing or dreaming up, from first experiments to long-term obsessions. A short intro plus a photo of your latest work-in-progress or pattern/fabric haul fits perfectly here. I'm so happy to be here with earthy, creative people who are kind, curious, and open to learning together! 🥰

Hello, I’m Cynthia.

I am a textile artist in Northern California. Although I use my sewing machine regularly, I’m new to sewing clothing.

Since I participate in Art festivals to sell my art, I’m in the sun for many hours and need professional attire that I won’t melt in and linen seems to be the best option. I am hoping to make something stylish that will protect me from getting more skin cancer.

Happy to learn more from others here.

I just spent the day sewing my first Finch Shirt. I discovered that the fabric I bought at the thrift store was linen. I had just enough to squeeze a Finch out of it. Normally I would have made it a bit longer, but that wasn’t an option. But for 40 DKK (that’s about $6 USD) it was still worth it. So no frills—short sleeves. Next time it will be a bit longer and with sleeves. It’s simply the best wearable

muslin. The photo is terrible because daylight is in short supply on a gray spring day. ☁️✂️
