Composition: Cotton & Polyester

Colour:
This shot denim sports a Wicked gleaming green-navy hue. Fine darkest indigo cotton yarns form the warp and are then interwoven throughout the weft in Gleaming Emerald silken polyester yarns. Combining the two yarns produces a spectacular shot/two-tone look where the green silken yarns create a lustrous sheen, peeping through the indigo navy.
Easily dressed and fashioned into smarter silhouettes with sharp detailing - neat, contrasting, emerald topstitching and metallic hardware. They are also perfect for creating dressed-down styles and distressed/worn areas for statement fashions.
Properties:
Emerald Gleam boasts a pleasing cotton hand, feeling softer on the reverse, whilst the superfine diagonal ridges of the twill weave emphasise the close weave, hard-wearing quality on the face. This medium-weight denim is stable, semi-structured and will soften with washing and wear, making it suitable for a wide range of stylish and practical purposes.
Garment Suggestions:
This reliably sturdy medium-weight denim will make superb clothes for the whole family. Denim jackets, coats, and luxe-work-wear styles from The Ilford Jacket to dungarees, like our Pattern Stash - Lynsey Dungaree, overalls, boilersuits, pinafore dresses etc.
Be bold - you can create your own 'Elphaba Wicked' sewing magic and be your own fashion designer, by adding contrasting top-stitching and different kinds of hardware; studs, buttons and zips you can create your unique style. For some classic denim aesthetic-designed patterns, take a look at Merchant and Mills and The Assembly Line. There are so many other excellent patterns available too.
We love the Sew Different Osborn Dungarees pattern and Kusama Jacket pattern.

Turkish Denim
Sourcing unique deadstock fabrics is Fabworks' speciality, but getting hold of a good quality denim fabric that is high quality, affordable and features appealing colours meant that we had to look further afield than usual to get our hands on this special collection. Sourced from a small independent fabric manufacturer in Turkey, who specialise in cotton-based textiles, we are delighted to be able to present you with this range of phenomenal quality fabrics that is second to none.
Denim is practical and hard-wearing thanks to its close weave construction with lightly raised diagonal ridges, and its strong heavier weight yarns. The fine twill weave, stable handle, (often with slight ease width-wise) mediumweight, reassuringly heavy drape and pleasing cotton feel, these fabrics make perfect for a plethora of hard-wearing fun and fab garments.
These fabrics boasts excellent strength, stability and a versatile handle. They will drape well (when used at length) and has a pleasing malleable hand, yet will hold crisp details such as collars and top-stitched panels: characteristic of jeans and utility styles.
