Denim and Chambray

We have loads of new denim in the store, as well as denim's softer, lighter cousin, chambray.


Like denim, chambray gets its subtle color effects from white filling yarns woven into a dyed warp. While denim is firm and sturdy, chambray is soft, drapey, and a little more versatile.

Particularly noteworthy are these dotted chambrays! The teeny pindots add just enough interest.




Whether you're longing for jeans, dresses, jackets, or blouses, there is a chambray or denim at Treadle just right for your project.

Double-Sided Fabrics

We have a beautiful selection of amazing new double-sided fabrics in the store! From airy double gauze and soft, drapey jersey to bright, heavy denim, there is a double-sided fabric for every garment!

Why double-sided? Doubling gives a lightweight fabric better drape and opacity, and seeing a peek of the contrasting or coordinating side can liven up a garment. Double-sided fabrics are ideal for unlined garments and designs with turn-back edges like cuffs and cowls. Or try sewing your seams the "wrong" way out for a piping effect!

These plaids are a treat for the eyes! Fresh, springy colors and two patterns for the price of one, since these cotton double gauze fabrics have a different pattern on each side.




 Next we have a group of soft double jersey. The colors contrast boldly, and the fabric drapes fluidly. Perfect for soft, easy-to-wear dresses and tops.



We also have double-sided denim! Give denim jackets, pants, and bags an update with an unexpected dash of color.



There are even more double-sided fabrics in our store! Stop by Treadle to check 'em out!
