These dots do not sit on top as a print, they are knitted in — you can see that from both sides, you can feel it too. The ottoman weave lays down fine crosswise ribs that give the natural white ground depth and keep the brown quiet. At 220 g/m² Emily has weight without bulk, and it barely curls at a cut edge. At 130 cm wide there is little waste, even when you cut a dress. This fabric is 100 % cotton, washed at 30 degrees. Wash it once before cutting, then your measurements hold later. Skip the iron, it flattens the structure, and keep it out of the tumble dryer.
What Baumwoll-Jacquardjersey Emily Punkte Braun auf Naturweiß by Swafing is suitable for
- Dresses and skirts, because the ottoman structure holds enough body for a clean drape.
- Shirts and long sleeves, because pure cotton stays kind to the skin.
- Children's clothes, because a knitted-in dot stays visible after many washes.
- Combinations in brown or natural white ribbing, because this pattern stays quiet enough.

Frequently asked questions
Does this jersey curl when cut?
Far less than a smooth single jersey. The ottoman weave gives the fabric body, so cut edges stay flat. Cutting out and pinning become noticeably calmer jobs as a result.
Which needle, which stitch?
A jersey needle and a stretch stitch will do, no overlocker required. Sew your seams at slightly lower presser foot pressure, then this firm knit will not ripple.
Does this fabric shrink?
Slight shrinkage in a first wash is normal for pure cotton. Wash your fabric before cutting, exactly as you will care for the finished garment later, then your measurements stay stable.
Is Emily suitable if you are new to sewing?
Yes. That solid weight and a quiet structure forgive uneven seams more readily than thin jerseys do. A jacquard looks more demanding than it actually is to sew.
