Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. Weight per square metre comes to 170 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 97 % cotton and 3 % Elastan.
In Green/Dusty Pink a piece gains something calm. The tone is neither cold nor warm and therefore straightforward. Flowers are the motif that stays in fashion longest; this print brings them at a scale that works on small pieces too. The cut edge of jersey curls. That is no fault but the nature of the goods; you still finish the edge.

- children's clothing

Frequently asked questions
Do I need matching cuffing?
For clean finishes at sleeve, hem and neck, yes. Cuffing is cut shorter than the circumference and sewn on stretched — which makes the finish hug rather than stand away.
May the fabric go in the dryer?
The care label decides. In principle knits shrink more in a dryer than on a line. If you plan to tumble dry, do it once before cutting.
Which stitch do I set?
A stretch stitch or a narrow zigzag, otherwise the seam bursts when stretched. If you have an overlocker, use it — it sews and finishes in one pass and is built for knits.
Which way does the fabric stretch?
Clearly across the web, barely along it. Align your pieces accordingly: whatever wraps the body runs crosswise. Confuse the two and you get a piece that will not move.
