The Mind The MAKER Trevor Taslon Fabric in Indigo Night is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and makers looking to construct high-performance garments like jackets, trousers, and technical accessories. Designed for extreme durability, this 120 gsm fabric offers a professional-grade blend of breathability, water repellency, and quick-dry functionality, though its structured, high-tech nature requires careful handling during machine sewing to maintain its specialized weave.

It is water-repellent, meaning it provides protection against light rain, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Yes, its lightweight 120 gsm profile and breathable nature make it an excellent choice for windbreakers and light outer layers.
The tight Taslon weave is resistant to fraying compared to looser textiles, though finishing your edges with a zig-zag or serger is still recommended.
Absolutely. The structured handle provides the necessary rigidity for bagmaking and various outdoor accessories.
Wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang dry. Avoid bleaching and fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent finish.
Switch to a new, sharp Microtex needle and check that your stitch length is set between 2.5mm and 3.0mm.
Use a walking foot or a Teflon-coated presser foot to provide even pressure and prevent shifting.
Ensure the tension is balanced and avoid pulling the fabric through the machine; let the feed dogs do the work.
To ensure the longevity of your Trevor Taslon project, use a sharp, high-quality needle (such as a 70/10 or 80/12 Microtex) to avoid damaging the dense weave. When pressing the fabric, use a low to medium heat setting with a pressing cloth, as high temperatures can compromise the water-repellent finish. For cleaning, machine wash in cool water on a gentle cycle and hang to dry; avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as they can reduce the technical properties of the material. Always perform a test stitch on a scrap piece of fabric to verify your machine tension before beginning your main project.
