Sewing tips

• Don’t pull the fabric as you sew, so the seams stay flat
• Neaten seams to stop fraying, with French seams, an overlocker, a zigzag stitch or bias binding
• Hang finished garments to rest for a day before hemming, as jersey can drop
• Press on a low to medium heat, on the reverse, with a pressing cloth

Viscose and linen are plant-based fibres, and this blend is made to be worn and washed for years. Choosing a well-made plain fabric you’ll wear again and again, and caring for it gently, helps your handmade wardrobe last.
