$14.00/metre
Description

 A lightweight denim chambray in a charcoal black.

Ideal for tops, dresses and lightweight trousers. We would make an Etta dress or a Dress shirt.

  • 150cm wide.
  • 100% cotton in charcoal.
  • 5oz, 140gsm.
  • Country of origin; China.
  • Wash at 30/40 degrees, with a non bio detergent, and on a gentle spin. Always re wash your cloth before sewing to get rid of any shrinkage.
  • As all computer monitors show colours differently, we recommend ordering a sample of the cloth to check it is the right colour and weight for your project.
  • Thread match Gutermann Sew All 542.

The fabric has a slight sheen and is tightly woven and a little crisp to the touch. 

5oz denim is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam, Curlew, Heron, Strides and Saltmarsh.

 

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your denim before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight denim into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the denim, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn't have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

  • Wash your denim on its own for the first wash.
  • Sink your denim in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the denim already wet.
  • If you can break up your denim fabric into half this will help.
  • For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
  • If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
  • Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
