Swafing Vanessa Cotton Jersey Solid Khaki 768

Khaki 768 is a muted green with a soft grey-green cast – a calm shade that sits just as comfortably next to warm naturals as it does beside strong red or mustard. As a solid colour without any melange effect it reads clean and even, and it stays matt rather than shiny in the light.

Made from 95% cotton with 5% elastane, the jersey feels smooth and soft with a fine, close knit face. At 220 gsm it is a medium-weight jersey: it drapes softly along the body without sagging, and it is opaque enough for dresses. The elastane gives it recovery, so necklines and knees keep their shape.

The 155 cm width leaves room when laying out pattern pieces, and the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification makes it an easy choice for babies and children.

What Vanessa Khaki is suitable for

• Tees, long-sleeve tops and dresses, since 220 gsm is opaque yet still drapes softly.
• Leggings and cycling shorts, because 5% elastane provides stretch and good recovery.
• Baby bodysuits and children's clothes, as 95% cotton feels soft against the skin and the fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
• Skirt panels and loose tunics, because the 155 cm width allows larger pieces to be cut in a single layer.

Sewing tips
