Liberty Augusta Linen is a beautifully balanced blend of cotton and linen, combining the best qualities of both fibres. It has the cool, breathable feel of linen with the added softness and smoothness that cotton brings. The result is a fabric that feels relaxed yet refined, making it a wonderful choice for both garments and home sewing projects.

Augusta Linen has a softer, smoother handle than traditional pure linen, which can sometimes feel more crisp or textured. The cotton blend helps reduce heavy creasing and gives the fabric a more fluid, easy-to-wear finish, while still retaining the airy, breathable qualities linen is loved for.

This fabric is wonderfully versatile and works beautifully for warm-weather clothing. It’s ideal for dresses, shirts, skirts, lightweight trousers and relaxed jackets. It’s also a lovely option for simple homeware projects like cushions or table linens. If you’re planning a garment, our sewing patterns can offer a helpful place to begin.
