Description
Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 220 g/m². It is woven from 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
White shows pattern and texture better than any dark tone — the fabric stays a quiet ground. The cut edge of jersey curls. That is no fault but the nature of the goods; you still finish the edge. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Cotton Jersey in White is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- hats and snoods
- children's bedding

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.
