Fabric Options:
- Cone Mills Indigo Extra Wide Denim - A true indigo,, this denim is soft and smooth, and surprisingly thin for its weight. If you're looking to sew a classic dark pair of jeans, this is the fabric for you.
- Cone Mills Charcoal Extra Wide Denim - Somewhere between black and indigo, this charcoal denim will age beautifully into a muted, steely pair of jeans. Heavyweight, it is sturdy but not too thick, which makes it a great option for jeans.
Also in this box: Matching thread, contrasting topstitch thread, rivets, buttons (with an extra one to let you practice), a rivet tool, a jeans needle, topstitching needle, fusible interfacing and cotton pocketing.
