A gorgeous medium-weight cotton denim fabric.
Denim is a hardwearing cotton fabric made using a twill weave, creating a subtle diagonal ribbing pattern making it different from canvas or cotton duck.
First produced in the city of Nîmes in France, denim was originally called the serge de Nîmes – the word denim is an English colloquialism of the French term: “de nim.”
It’s versatility means that is ideal for sewing clothing such as jeans, jackets and skirts. It is also great for making bags and other soft furnishing projects.
