Cotton jersey stretches across the grain and returns to shape. Exactly that makes it so usable for shirts and children's clothes. The web measures 150 cm across; its weight comes to 150 g/m². Its composition reads 3 % elastane and 97 % polyester.
Multicolour is the choice for anything meant to read cheerful, from children's clothes to a bag. A geometric pattern reads calm and graphic — it carries a piece without distracting from it. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an overlocker?
Not necessary, but convenient. Everything works with a stretch stitch on a domestic machine — it only takes longer, since sewing and finishing stay two steps.
Which needle do I need?
A jersey or stretch needle with a ball point. It pushes the loops aside instead of piercing them. A universal needle leaves small holes that later run into ladders.
Why does the cut edge curl?
Because knits are made of loops that relax when cut. That is normal and no fault. While cutting it helps to keep the fabric flat and to use a rotary cutter.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern and the fabric width. As a rule of thumb an adult shirt takes about twice the body length, less on wide goods. Add seam allowances and cuffing.
