Description

A lightweight denim chambray in rich brown. A very unique cloth that would be a dream to sew with.

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

  • 118cm wide.

  • 5.2oz, 177gsm.
  • 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 883.

Chestnut Japanese Chambray is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam, Curlew, Heron, Strides and Saltmarsh.

 

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your fabric before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the fabric, 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 fabric on its own for the first wash.
  • Sink your fabric  in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
  • If you can break up your 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.
