Description
This denim is heavy enough for trousers and jackets and still soft enough to break in. The fabric comes 145 cm wide and brings 255 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 2 % elastane, 28 % polyester and 70 % recycelte Baumwolle.
Blue carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. 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 in Blue is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- patchwork and quilting
- bags and pouches
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
