This lightweight denim is a pleasure to sew with. Its stable woven construction makes it easy to cut, pin, and stitch, and its lighter weight means seams are much easier to manage than with traditional denim.

Because this darker dye color, some color transfer is expected, especially during the first few washes. We recommend prewashing separately before cutting and taking care to protect light-colored sewing surfaces and ironing equipment while working with the fabric.

Choose this fabric when you want the softness and comfort of a lightweight cotton with just a little extra structure. It has enough body to hold its shape beautifully, while still offering a lovely, relaxed drape. It's especially great for garments that need a bit of definition without feeling stiff or bulky.

Great for:

• Relaxed button-up shirts and shirt dresses
• Gathered skirts and easy everyday dresses
• Lightweight pants and relaxed shorts

• Lightweight layering pieces

Machine wash cold separately for the first several washes, as the indigo color dye may bleed or transfer color. We strongly recommend prewashing before cutting and sewing to allow for any shrinkage and to help remove excess dye. Continue washing with similar dark colors, and hang to dry or tumble dry low. It may need several washes before the dye settles in.

We do our best to photograph our fabrics as accurately as possible, but colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings. We always recommend ordering a swatch if you're unsure about a color.
