I'm sewing a pair of jeans I designed so the jeans are made from scratch.I already have my fabric but,I'm sewing on linen before I get to the actual denim fabric.Will the linen be ok to use as a test for my jeans?
I think that is a great idea! When I was in design school we always made a mock-up of the garment, often of cheap fabric, to see how/what to do. Often the mistakes were corrected then we sometimes used the muslin mock-up as the actual cutting pattern for the garment. That said, if you sew your mock-up correctly, you can then try on the garment to see how is reacts for real. I personally like this idea, especially if I am unsure of the patterns cut and fit. It is a lot better to make a mistake on the inexpensive fabric as to the real thing!I, however, would not use linen for this...it wrinkles and can be frustrating to work with. As others have said, it won't react the same as your denim. You may find cheap canvases (try to match the weight and hand (feel) of your fabric). I don't really have anything against using muslin either simply because it has virtually no stretch either...it is just lighter weight.
Good luck!
