Sewing linen clothes yourself is quite simple. It is only important to remember the likely shrinkage of up to 15% and sharpen the scissors in time - due to the high density of the fabric, the sharp blades quickly blunt and begin to spoil the material.
While you are in the kitchen, grab a roll of aluminum foil to sharpen your cutting tools! If your rotary cutter’s blade is dull, instead of changing it right away, try this technique: take a long sheet of foil and fold it several times on itself, until you have at least 8 layers. Place the foil on your cutting mat and roll your rotary cutter on it, several dozen times. Try it every so often on a scrap of fabric: you should notice a clear improvement! This works just as well with fabric scissors.
