5.5oz Cotton Chambray Vintage Wash

$23.30/metre
Description

A classic cornflower blue chambray with an off white selvedge. It would make a beautiful Etta.

This is a soft, mid-weight cotton which would make a beautiful shirt. If you were making a dress you'd want to pick a pattern with some fullness, or you could line it. Also perfect for tops, pyjamas, and lightweight breezy curtains.

  • 90cm wide.
  • 5.5oz, 188gsm.
  • 100% cotton.
  • Country of origin; India.
  • This fabric is hand dyed. For the couple of washes, place the fabric in the washing machine drum at 30 or 40 degrees with a handful of table salt. This will fix the dye to prevent it from running.
  • As our Indian cloths are handmade, they are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave like banding, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.
  • 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 311.

Vintage Wash chambray is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Bantam and Heron, Saltmarsh and Curlew.

 

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.
