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.
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.
