A Note on the last 4 images - These images are from Fabric Godmother. You will see that there is more warmth (more yellow|orange) in this quartet of photos. As I hold a sample up to the screen, I believe that the cloth is probably in-between the FG images and my images. It isn't quite as orange as the FG photos indicate. I hope you find that helpful.
This denim was a huge best seller for Fabric Godmother (and Cloth Edit!), and I've been hoping that they were going to re-print. As per my comment above re. the colours in this gorgeous leopard print are - to my eyes - not quite as warm as the FG pics indicate. The brown is more a cool dark chocolate (imagine the best organic kind ;-)), and the background is a lovely taupe that's on the warm side.
This cloth is generous 160cm wide, and a good weight, at 310gsm. It's substantial, but soft. Comparing the Cousette denim, this is a finer weave, and it's obviously a print and doesn't use dyed yarns. This cloth is thus white on the underside.
This is a perfect cloth for trousers, boilersuits, dungarees, skirts, shorts and jackets.
We stock so many Indie Pattern that would be perfect for this cloth (this is just a small selection):
Fibre Mood Magazines always include patterns for pants and jackets. Check out Issue 37 for the fab 'Astrid' pattern.
