Description:

Japanese cotton denim with a classic red selvedge. A classic slubby denim that would work well for nearly all our patterns.

  • 114cm wide.
  • 11oz, 320gsm.
  • 100% cotton.
  • Contry of origin; Japan.
  • 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 387.

Kojima has been used to make our Eve trousers and a pair of Harlene dungarees.

Kojima is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Strides and Haremere.

Washing Instructions

We recommend pre washing your cloth before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the cloth, 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 cloth on its own for the first wash.
  • Sink your cloth 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.

MATCHED UP

Trying to colour match ribbing to your main fabric can be tricky. We have done a spot of personal shopping for you and matched all our striped ribs to our current collection of cloth. We find most people use these ribs for the Fielder and the Tee Shirt patterns, so we have included fabrics that work for these. However, we are releasing a parka coat pattern this Autumn which has a ribbed collar and would work perfectly with oilskins so we have included these where appropriate. We hope this is a helpful resource for you!
