Bring distinctive Finnish design to your handmade wardrobe with Marimekko Ensikukat Linen in Dark Blue. This beautiful printed linen fabric features Erja Hirvi's Ensikukat pattern on a soft, drapey dress weight linen. Printed in Helsinki, the fabric combines a cream base with a classic navy print for a refined colour palette that works beautifully across timeless garments.
The Ensikukat design gives this fabric a strong visual identity while the natural linen base keeps the finished garment comfortable and breathable. Its medium drape allows the print to move naturally across the garment, making it particularly well suited to simple silhouettes where the design can remain the focus.
Made from 100% linen, this fabric measures 145cm wide and weighs 260gsm. The substantial dress weight gives garments more body than lightweight linen, while the medium drape prevents the fabric from feeling overly rigid. The fabric has no stretch and an opaque finish.
This 100% linen fabric is suitable for dresses, shirts and skirts. The cream and navy combination is versatile enough for both contemporary and classic sewing patterns, while the large 88cm pattern repeat gives you plenty of scope to consider print placement when cutting your garment. MaaiDesign lists the fabric specifically as suitable for dressmaking and includes it within its printed linen collection.
As linen fabric for dresses, Ensikukat Dark Blue is particularly useful when you want a statement print with enough weight and opacity for a substantial finished garment. The natural linen construction also brings the breathability and texture associated with quality linen.
If you're looking for Marimekko linen fabric with a distinctive print, substantial dress weight and a classic navy and cream palette, Ensikukat Dark Blue is a considered choice for your next sewing project.
