GBSB Ep9 Inspiration: We Love Wardrobe Heroes
From biker jackets and reinvented shirts to the Little Black Dress, discover the fabrics we love from epidose 9 - Wardrobe Heroes Week on The Great British Sewing Bee.
A proper traditional 100% cotton denim fabric in a strong river blue, with a much clearer, brighter blue appearance than the very dark indigo denims. The contrasting white yarn can be seen through the pronounced diagonal twill weave, giving it that unmistakable denim texture and a pleasingly authentic, workwear feel. Dense, sturdy and substantial in the hand, this is the sort of denim that already has plenty of character before you've even put a stitch into it.
At approximately 480gsm, this sits firmly in heavyweight denim territory, with the structure needed for a really good pair of jeans. It would also be superb for denim jackets, chore coats, dungarees, workwear trousers, structured skirts, overshirts and bags. The river-blue colouring makes a refreshing change from near-black indigo while remaining every inch a classic denim. A serious cloth for proper denim projects, and one that should only get better once made, worn and lived in.
