Our Essex Linen Cotton is a favourite! This versatile material combines the best of textured linen and crisp cotton, creating a textile that has a natural, textured look with a softer drape and smoother finish.
This Essex is also a yarn dyed fabric, meaning that the fibres that make up the textile are dyed and then woven together. This gives a soft, low drape, as well as allowing a heathered colour.
Plus, this Essex is extra special with a thin, metallic thread woven throughout. It shimmers beautifully when the light hits the thread.
We suggest pairing Essex with garment patterns that hang away from the body and maintain the garment's shape. For some of our favourite patterns to make, we'd pair Essex with the timeless Gallery Tunic, comfortable Burnside Bibs (size 00-20, size 18-34) or the dramatic Lichen Duster/Wrap Dress.
Not only is Essex amazing for making garments, it has also been used to create throw pillows, tote bags, re-cover chairs, napkins, curtains and so much more! Essex works well and looks good in so many ways.
