Colour:
This sweet natural white-hued, cotton base denim sports a calming soft, washed pink-mauve hue on the face - redolent of gentle things like calming calamine lotion, soothing rose water and powdery vintage pink blush springs to mind. These washed pink-hued cotton yarns form the warp and are then interwoven throughout the weft with the natural-hued cotton yarn. The combination of the two yarns produces a pleasing classic denim style.
Denim is super versatile! Posie Rosie 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:
Posie Rosie 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-heavyweight denim is stable, and 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-heavyweight denim will make superb clothing 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. We think Posie Rosie will make a superb trench coat - The Ulysses Trench is a great pattern!
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.

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.
