Why do I appreciate denim so much? Well, there's the predictability of the fabric. It doesn't play games like a slippery satin or an unravelly rayon. The weight of denim, even the lightweight stuff, demands that I take it more seriously. Most of the denim in my stash is 54"-60" wide, which means more chance to play. Maybe I'll try a new collar or sleeves, and if it doesn't work out, I have some extra for "Plan B".
I'm trying to figure out what to do with the rest of this denim. I think I will try my hand at a denim coat or a little denim moto jacket, with flat-felled seams. And since I have sewn a lot without finishing a pair of pants, I may challenge myself to take this class, which has gotten great reviews from students for helping them tackle the holy grail of apparel projects (for many of us): custom jeans.
