Colour:
This printed deep-dyed dark indigo-toned denim sports a wonderful printed design of vintage-style, cabbage rose posies in hues of mid denim, teal green and mauve.
Printed denim fabrics are super versatile! Indigo Rose can be easily dressed and fashioned into smarter silhouettes with sharp detailing - neat, contrasting, natural topstitching and metallic hardware. They are also perfect for creating dressed-down styles and distressed/worn areas for statement fashions.
Properties:
Indigo Rose boasts a pleasing absorbent cotton hand, feeling softer on the reverse, whilst the diagonal ridges of the twill weave emphasise the 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. A touch of added elastane allows for more fitted jeans, skirt and dress styles with retentive ease across the width.
NB: We strongly recommend purchasing a little extra of this fabric for pre-washing and slight shrinkage. Also, this deep-dyed denim has some excess colour, so pre-washing is advisable.
Garment Suggestions:
This reliably sturdy medium-weight denim will make superb clothes for the whole family. Denim jackets, coats, and work-wear styles from The Ilford Jacket to dungarees, like our Pattern Stash - Lynsey Dungaree, overalls, boilersuits, pinafore dresses etc.
Be bold - you can 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.

Create cute, accessories, hats, caps, bags with offcuts and scraps. Also soft furnishings from cushions and bean bags to blinds and storage pockets.
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.
