I know finding linen fabric within a budget can be difficult, so today I'm sharing my number one source to linen fabric for sewing when you haven't had luck at the thrift store! I've used this many times and have yet to find linen at this quality cheaper!
I hope this video encourages you to think outside the box when it comes to fabric. Looking for duvets in fabrics I love has been a wonderful resource for me vs. shopping fabric by the yard.

The best and cheapest 100% linen I have found is in Perú (where I'm from). I can get it for some cents over $6 per meter. Beautiful colors, beautiful material, a pleasure to work with. There's a district in Lima, Perú, calles Gamarra. It's basically streets and streets of fabric and notions. If you're ever in Lima, Perú. ☺️

Looks like I need to take a trip! What a wonderful resource :)

@MeryAnn-vv1ih 9 месяцев назад

How can i have them ship it yo usa?

@elizabethcook5922 9 месяцев назад

@@MeryAnn-vv1ih You cannot. Unfortunately. They don't ship. You can only get it by going there yourself and getting it, or by having a contact down there to send it to you.

@elizabethcook5992 Olá Elizabeth~ I would love to come and buy linen! I do not speak Spanish. If I came to Gamarra would I need to speak Spanish ? 🙏 🇨🇦

@Drippin94 2 месяца назад

Hey do you make sure it's 100% linen?

@caryncrancer6654 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the tip. I will try dusty blue queen flat sheet. You are so sweet to include the messages of Joy.

I have found shopping local thrift stores to be my best resource for finding great linens at a economic price. Duvets, sheets, clothing at a fraction of the cost any where else. Most dresses are $6 to $12 each. Duvets are around $10 dollars. Bed sheets are $2 dollars each on average. They don't come along every day, but I have luck at least once or twice a month. That's giving me enough to work with. 💖

@RooneySewingPatterns 10 месяцев назад

You're right! With patience finding these linens is totally possible :) I am so glad to hear this

@starbrown1219 5 месяцев назад

I love this idea. I have done this so long ago, that I forgot about this way. Thank you.

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Happy to jog your memory :)

@halleymastrolonardo 10 месяцев назад

Love this! My exact thoughts! I did the same thing with my king size duvet cover because it got ripped at the top and I wanted to replace it anyway but knew it was going to be the best fabric to use for a dress and some other things I want to make since it was soft already :) sooo good! Loved what you shared

@RooneySewingPatterns 10 месяцев назад

I love that you went ahead and used it! It really is so much softer this way :)

Another resource is Fabric Mart during a linen sale, which they have all the time. They stock up on linen during the summer. Sometimes can get it for $8/yd. Often $11-12.

@RooneySewingPatterns 4 месяца назад

Thank you so much for sharing this! I'll definitely look into it -- what a great resource :)

@AshleyRJones8 10 месяцев назад

I love linen too! Burnley & Trowbridge Co is another great source for linen and other natural fibers. Most of their linen is $14/yard.

@RooneySewingPatterns 10 месяцев назад

Oh thank you for sharing this!! That will help so many people :)

Merci pour toutes ses informations ❤

@andreacannon1263 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing such valuable information, natural fabrics are getting extremely expensive. Few years ago I found many men shirts made from linen at a local store, only paid $2.00 us for each one, they were huge( size 3X )I used one shirt to make a beautiful skirt this summer and still have leftovers ❤

@RooneySewingPatterns 10 месяцев назад

Wow! What a great find! Thank you for sharing - it reminds me to always keep my eyes peeled for these treasures and natural materials :)

@sararamos3903 5 месяцев назад

I did happen to find some cotton polyester new sheets at a thrift shop for practice sewing ha ha. Thanks on the duvet tip. I would prefer that over used sheets. Because of duvet would be cleaner I would think.

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

Thats a good thought!

@sarahthatcher123 6 месяцев назад

When speaking about linen and making garments it is very important to mention the ‘weight’ of the linen. Not all linens are the same. Many are extremely thin and would not work for almost any clothing. Perhaps some might work if one is skilled and willing to line whatever garment it is. For those who are newer to sewing they might not realize there is such a difference or range of weights/see through quality.

@RooneySewingPatterns 6 месяцев назад

I agree, there are many different weights for all fabrics! I didn't note that in the video but I try to share it elsewhere. I think thinner linens drape really nicely and heavier linens can feel bulky but it really is what you want the end goal to be :) Thank you for pointing this out, it is an important note!

Weight of Quince duvet linen?

@RooneySewingPatterns 5 месяцев назад

I'm not sure as it isn't listed on the website but comparing the linen I have from them to some from Blackbird fabrics and other fabric stores, I would estimate it at 5oz weight...but that, of course, is my guess!

@susanbarnhart1616 3 месяца назад

Sadly Quince does not ship to Canada.

@ladyflimflam Месяц назад

The king size flat sheet was just $5 more.

Linen and wool were the Proverbs 31 woman's go to fibers! And silk i think...

@susanbarnhart1616 3 месяца назад

Silk has a low frequency because of the killing of the silk worms and it's also harder to take care of usually.

@janenicolson3599 9 месяцев назад

Was looking for resources for less expensive linen. Where was that? 🤣

@RooneySewingPatterns 9 месяцев назад

Hi! You can find it linked under "quince duvet" and the "amazon duvet". I explain in the video how linen is an expensive material and break down the cost of finding it in different resources :)

@cyndiburns7932 10 месяцев назад

I have learned over the decades that 100% linen is the best. Not the easiest to care for, but best for our bodies. Everything on the earth has a vibration. Linen is very high, about 1000. When you mix it with 100% cotton which is 100, it reduces the higher vibration of 1000 to almost 100. So if anyone cares about that, look it up. My husband used to wear a lot of polyester and cotton blends and he now agrees that 100% cotton is much better. I've been doing this for about Twenty years, him about ten years. That's what the Bible yalks about to not mix fabrics in your garments. For your information.

@RooneySewingPatterns 10 месяцев назад

This is so insightful, thank you for sharing your experience with us! I agree, 100% linen is best when you can get it :)

@susanbarnhart1616 3 месяца назад

The frequency of linen is 5000.

@kateb6893 Месяц назад

How are you measuring it@@susanbarnhart1616

@hannahjustin7583 4 месяца назад

It was against the law to combine linen and wool in a garment (Mosaic law). Not saying it's a sin now (no longer under law because of Christ). Someone told me combining fiber neutralizes beneficial ionic charges from fiber... Or something like that. It's just interesting to me. There's so many reasons for God's law though at first glance it might seem meaningless. Take the Sabbath for example. Scientifically, they have proven that 1/7 rest/work ratio is most beneficial for humans (not 1\4 or 1/10). Some of these ratios have been actually tested on populations. ‭‭Romans 7:12 KJV‬‬ [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Sucks that natural fabrics are so expensive today. I have read a story once that a Sheep farmers family always sold excess wool (he was mainly a meat producer from sheeps), now since Plastic fabrics and Cotton became so affordable and cheap he has to PAY others to sheer his sheep and the excess wool is being thrown away because they don't find manufacturers that make the raw wool into yarn and fabric.
