Recommended for Stretch Denim Shirting Fabric - Black
Think denim, but make it wearable all day. This lightweight stretch denim shirting fabric takes the look of classic black denim and pairs it with a smooth, fluid finish that's a world away from your standard stiff jeans fabric.
The composition is 60% cotton, 38% polyester, and 2% elastane. Cotton keeps things breathable and comfortable against the skin. Polyester adds durability, reduces creasing, and helps the fabric hold its deep black colour wash after wash — particularly useful in black fabrics, which can be prone to fading. And the elastane gives just enough stretch and recovery to make movement completely unrestricted, without the fabric ever feeling clingy or tight.
This is a fabric that really opens up your denim project options. The lightweight, drapey quality makes it ideal for shirts, dresses, skirts, and lighter weight trousers - the kinds of makes where a heavier denim would feel too stiff or bulky.

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.
