Plain / Housewife
A clean edge with no Oxford flange and no decorative stitch.
Decorative linen finish
Satin stitch
Choose Plain or Oxford, then select the linen and stitch colour.
Three decisions, one clear specification
Choose the style, fabric and stitch colour.
Satin stitch adds a tailored border to pillowcases and made-to-order linen. Start with the construction, then choose the base fabric and thread colour. We confirm the combination, quantity, pricing and production details before manufacture.
- Plain / Housewife and Oxford are separate constructions
- Available base colours: White, Cream, Stone, Grey and Duck Egg
- Choose tonal thread for quiet detail or contrast for a clearer frame
Step 1 · Pillowcase construction
Choose Plain or Oxford.
Plain / Housewife has no flange. Oxford has a visible border. Satin stitch is then specified within that construction.
Plain · two rows
Two stitched rows add a tailored detail without an Oxford border.
Oxford plain
An Oxford flange with no decorative stitch.
Oxford · one row
One restrained satin-stitch row inside the Oxford border.
Oxford · two rows
Two satin-stitch rows create a stronger framed finish.
Step 2 · Base fabric
Choose the linen colour.
Choose the base colour first. We will confirm availability against the selected sheeting quality before production.
White
Crisp and classic. Cotton Percale 300TC is white only.
Cream
Soft ivory warmth in the available 200TC ranges.
Stone
A grounded neutral for a calmer room scheme.
Grey
Cool, contemporary and easy to combine.
Duck Egg
A gentle colour note for a softer scheme.
Step 3 · Stitch colour
Keep it tonal or add contrast.
These examples show the thread on working linen. Screen colour is a guide; the final combination is confirmed with you.

Cream satin stitch
A warm stitch detail for soft contrast.
Stone satin stitch
A neutral stitch detail with practical elegance.
Grey satin stitch
A clean, modern contrast.
