Hints & Tips for Working with Denim Fabric
🧵 Sewing Recommendations:
- Use a denim needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) for best results.
- Heavy-duty thread works best for durability.
- Consider using French seams for a professional finish.
🌀 Washing & Care Instructions:
- Pre-washed to minimize shrinkage.
- Wash separately for the first few times to prevent dye transfer.
- 30°C machine wash, cool tumble dry, do not bleach.
- Turn garments inside out when washing to reduce fading.
⚠ Important Notes:
- Denim dye may transfer onto lighter fabrics and upholstery.
- Avoid storing under bright lights or in direct sunlight as denim will fade over time.
- Before wearing, wash clothes made from this fabric several times in cold water to remove excess dye.
