This denim is heavy enough for trousers and jackets and still soft enough to break in. Weight per square metre comes to 322 g/m², width to 160 cm. It is woven from 2 % elastane, 21 % polyester and 77 % recycelte Baumwolle.
In Black the fabric reads clear and severe. For clothing meant to look matter-of-fact it is the first choice. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Denim Jeans Schwarz is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- curtains and drapes
- accessories and decor
Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
