Denim Fabric Cotton 8-OZ Light Blue

Denim Fabric Cotton 8-OZ Light Blue

This light denim fabric displays a fine, even weave in a fresh light blue shade, exactly the colour you'd expect from a classic pair of jeans. In the photo you can see how the twill weave creates a subtle diagonal structure, with the typical lighter, slightly rougher underside of denim on the back. The fabric looks sturdy but not stiff, with a matte finish that suits timeless, robust fashion fabrics. A real everyday denim that works for countless projects.

What does 8-OZ actually mean

The 8-OZ (ounce) designation refers to the weight of the denim per square yard, a measure traditionally used in the jeans fabric industry. The higher the OZ number, the heavier and stiffer the denim feels. At 8-OZ you're in the lighter segment of denim, which makes this fabric more supple than, say, a sturdy 12 or 14-OZ work jeans. That makes it pleasant to wear and easier to work with, without losing the characteristic denim look. For anyone torn between heavy denim and something lighter, this 8-OZ version is a good middle ground.

Uses and projects

Thanks to the medium weight and sturdy, non-stretch structure, this cotton denim has plenty of uses. You can use it for:

• Classic jeans and denim trousers
• Denim jackets and coats
• Blazers with a casual twist
• A-line or straight skirts
• Denim dresses for a modern look
• Sturdy bags and accessories
• Work wear with an authentic feel
• Patchwork and appliqué work on other garments
