Technical details

Yarnpolyesterin a coil of100 m (110 yards), Colour No. 6950. Navy blue is somewhere between black and blue: it is a neutral tone that goes over many dark fabrics, but can be confused with black in low light. It is therefore better to compare it to fabric in daylight.

Our advice

• Reinforce the corners of the patch pocket with a small triangle of stitching: this is where the fabric pulls the most.
• On two sliding canvases, pin perpendicular to the edge and remove the pins just before the foot.
• Sew a sample on a scrap before throwing in an entire pair of pants to check that the navy doesn't blend in with your fabric.
• Tuck the thread into the seam with a hand needle rather than cutting them flush.

A denim button and a navy zipper will form a coherent duo with this coil.
