Denim is firm, rugged and woven in twill — the fabric for trousers that last years. 160 cm wide, 322 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 2 % elastane, 21 % polyester and 77 % recycelte Baumwolle.
The tone Indigo Blue sits in the cool range. Beside yellow and orange it builds the strongest contrast there is. For blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses woven cotton is the classic choice — it holds the shape the pattern sets. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Denim Jeans Indigoblau is suitable for

Frequently asked questions
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
