The theme for the May Lamazi Makers Club Inspire Bag is Linen, one of our favourite fabrics to sew and wear. The fabric we chose for this month is a unique and special linen viscose blend crepe with a stunning romantic painterly floral design, a Lamazi classic that we know you will love to wear for years to come. The fabric itself is soft with ample drape, weight and slub texture, characteristic to linen. It will be a beautiful addition to your summer wardrobe. As soon as we saw this beautiful fabric, we knew it would make a perfect treat for our Lamazi Makers.
In this blog you will find inspiration for what you can sew with this fabric, with some classic summer outfits featured. We could not resist also including some of our favourite inspirations with other linen fabrics from our collection.
We are starting off with a summer classic - navy linen shorts paired with a tank style top. This top will see you through warn summer days when paired with shorts, but is also a great option to pair with jeans or trousers.

If a plain top and printed bottom is more your style, we love the latest patterns from French Brand Lise Tailor - the Alia Top and Mimosa Skirt. We have paired it with our new Lush Linen Viscose Crepe, a beautiful light and airy fabric that you will not be Abel to get enough of. These elegant pieces will be the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.

Are you planning your next summer dress? Fibre Mood has many dress patterns that are ideal for this fabric, but we think Colette is perfect for summer days and nights and a dream paired with this linen viscose crepe.
When the dress code calls for 'jeans and a nice top' choose the Fibre Mood Oriana blouse and Lucia jeans. The floaty sleeves of the Oriana will be a dream in this fabric, and paired with Cousette's soft Italian denim you will have an outfit you can wear beyond the summer months.
