Jeansblau 744 is a muted mid-blue with the calm character of a well-worn pair of jeans. It feels warm enough for everyday clothes and sits happily next to natural shades, grey or brighter colours – a blue you keep reaching for beyond one season.
With 95% cotton the jersey feels soft and dry against the skin, while the 5% elastane adds crosswise stretch and helps seams and cuffs spring back into shape after wear. At 220 g/m² it is a medium-weight jersey: opaque enough for dresses and skirts, yet still fluid, falling into soft folds rather than standing away from the body. The surface is smooth and even, with no sheen. Certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
What Vanessa is suitable for
- Shirts, long-sleeve tops and dresses, as 220 g/m² makes the fabric opaque while still draping softly.
- Leggings and skirts, since 5% elastane provides crosswise stretch and good recovery.
- Children's clothing and bodysuits, because this soft cotton jersey is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
- Larger pieces such as dresses or jumpsuits, where the 155 cm width gives plenty of room for cutting.
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen
- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.

Frequently asked questions
Is this jersey opaque?
At 220 g/m² Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey, and Jeansblau 744 covers well. One layer is enough for dresses, skirts and shirts, and the deeper blue tone makes see-through spots unlikely.
How much does the fabric shrink?
Residual shrinkage is around 5%. Washing the fabric once before cutting takes care of that shrinkage, so your finished garment keeps its fit through later washes.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash at 30 °C and iron on a low setting. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry – this keeps the colour fresh and protects the stretch given by the elastane.
Does the colour match other fabrics in the range?
Jeansblau carries the colour code 744. Within the Swafing ranges this code stands for the same shade, so a top and a jacket can be combined without a visible colour difference.
