Recommended for Carlos Stretch Denim Fabric - Chalk White
A crisp chalk white denim with real versatility built in. While the face side is a clean, bright white, the reverse tells a different story - the two-tone denim twill construction means black dominates on the back, giving it an overall deep grey twill finish. Two very distinct looks, one fabric.
The composition is 70% cotton, 28% polyester, 2% spandex, and each fibre is doing something useful. The cotton gives you breathability and that familiar denim feel. The polyester adds durability, helps the fabric resist creasing, and means it holds its colour and shape wash after wash. And the spandex - even at just 2% - is what gives this denim its stretch and recovery. It moves with you, springs back into shape, and makes for a much more comfortable wear than a rigid denim would.
At 250gsm, it's a mid-weight fabric, which makes it lovely for garments you actually want to move in. Think fitted trousers, jeans, skirts, and shirt-style jackets. The stretch content makes it particularly forgiving for beginners too - minor fitting adjustments are much easier to get away with when the fabric has some give.

Pre-Wash is Essential!
Before sewing, always pre-wash your denim to prevent shrinkage later. Wash it on a cold or lukewarm cycle with mild detergent and air dry to keep the fabric’s structure intact.
Wash Less, Wear More
Denim doesn’t need frequent washing. Instead, spot-clean small stains and air your garments to keep them fresh. When a full wash is necessary, turn items inside out and use a cold wash to preserve colour.
Opt for a gentle, non-bio detergent to prevent fading and keep denim soft. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can break down fibres and dull the colour.
Skip the Tumble Dryer (If You Can!)
High heat can cause denim to shrink and weaken over time. Air dry where possible, laying flat or hanging to maintain its shape. If using a dryer, choose low heat to reduce stress on the fabric.
Iron with Care
Denim doesn’t need much ironing, but if wrinkles appear, use a medium heat setting with steam. For stubborn creases, a damp cloth between the iron and fabric works wonders.
