Jean fabrics, used for a long time
The origin of jeans dates back to the 19th century in the United States, where it was designed as workwear fabric for gold prospectors and laborers. Originally made from cotton denim, it became established thanks to its strength and resistance to wear. In the 1950s, it became a symbol of freedom and rebellion before definitively conquering the fashion world.
Today, jean fabric remains a must-have. It stands out for its longevity, natural elegance and ability to adapt to all styles. It comes in several versions: raw jeans, comfortable stretch, lightweight jeans and fluid gauze, perfect for original creations. Versatile and timeless, jean fabric continues to inspire designers and sewing enthusiasts alike.

The meterage below comes from our meterage guide, for a width of 145 cm.
- Jackets: 2 m to 2.50 m
- Trousers: 1.20 m to 2.50 m
- Skirts: 70 cm to 2 m
For example, for a jacket, allow 2 m to 2.50 m and add a little extra if the fabric has a pattern that needs matching.
In practical terms, a width of 145 cm often allows you to cut two pieces side by side. In practice, there is no need to pre-wash it: our fabrics are already pre-washed and will not shrink as long as they are washed at 30 degrees.

Practical tips for sewing denim fabric
Use a special denim needle and strong thread, such as le Fil Français. This ensures neat seams even through several layers.
For stretch fabrics, use stretch stitches. Allow for reinforced seams (double stitching) on pieces subject to tension.
Denim fabric withstands machine washing very well. Wash at 30°C; use a delicate cycle for fine fabric. It dries quickly and retains its color and shape even after several cycles.
