Sewing ideas for Tencel denim

This fabric has an excellent drape, so it falls beautifully and flows with ease. Its relatively light weight and Tencel fibre make it ideal for elegant garments. As it is not stretchy, your finished piece will hold its shape well. For the best results, use a fine, sharp needle such as a Microtex needle. Another practical feature is that you can tear the fabric for a perfectly straight grain line. With OEKO-TEX® certification, you can sew with confidence, knowing you are working with a skin-friendly and responsibly made fabric.

Let your creativity run free and turn this fabric by the metre into a swishy skirt, stylish wide-leg trousers, an airy blouse or a comfortable tunic. It is also a lovely choice for a dress, pinafore or even refined nightwear. The fabric is breathable and pleasant against the skin, which makes it suitable for more delicate garments too. This versatile black Tencel denim is sure to become a new favourite in your wardrobe.
