Made in Japan by Sevenberry, this cotton linen canvas features oversized polka dots in a collection of playful and beautifully unexpected colour combinations. The bold woven design is paired with the natural texture of a cotton-linen base, creating a fabric with plenty of character for both garment and accessory sewing.
Woven from 80% cotton and 20% linen, this fabric combines the familiar comfort and versatility of cotton with the distinctive texture and natural character of linen. It is a medium-weight canvas with enough body for structured projects while remaining suitable for selected garments.
The fabric is produced using a linen-blend greige base with an unbleached finish designed to preserve its natural texture. As a result, subtle colour variations, slubs and irregularities may be visible throughout the fabric. These are characteristic of the natural cotton-linen construction and are part of the intended appearance of the fabric rather than defects.
Featuring a yarn-dyed construction, the colours are woven directly into the fabric using coloured yarns rather than surface printed, giving the oversized polka dot design a distinctive woven appearance.
The large-scale polka dots may require additional planning if precise motif placement or pattern matching is desired.

Recommended projects include:
- Structured dresses and pinafore dresses

For garments, choose sewing patterns designed for a medium-weight, non-stretch woven fabric. This fabric has more body than lightweight shirting, broadcloth or rayon and is therefore best suited to silhouettes that benefit from some structure rather than a very fluid drape.
Why Choose Cotton Linen Canvas?Cotton linen canvas combines the qualities of two natural fibres. Cotton contributes comfort and versatility, while linen adds texture, character and a distinctive natural appearance.
With a composition of 80% cotton and 20% linen, this Sevenberry canvas is a great choice for sewists who enjoy the textured appearance of linen while wanting a stable and versatile woven fabric.
Its medium weight also makes it particularly versatile. It has enough substance for bags, accessories and home décor while remaining suitable for structured garments such as skirts, jackets, pants and dresses.
