Dense weave, heavyweight denim. 14oz/400gsm. 150cm wide.

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.

The reverse is a gauzy cotton, there is no batting in the middle of this cloth, the inside is made up of a series of thicker yarns which gives it the quilted feel. The top is a fine cotton.

If possible we would advise overlocking your raw edges before sewing to prevent fraying.

We can see this being used for throws, quilts, quilted jackets, oversized cushions, and smaller cosmetic bags.
