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 145 cm across; its weight comes to 220 g/m². Its composition reads 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
White/Light-Khaki sits at the light end of the palette and so reads open and friendly without turning cold. Stripes are the pattern that never goes out of fashion and suits almost any combination. If you sew jersey for the first time, a simple shirt is the best start — the fabric forgives more than its reputation suggests.
What Jersey Streifen Weiß/Hell-Khaki is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- hats and snoods
- cuffs and finishes
Frequently asked questions
How do I press a knit?
From the reverse, at moderate heat and without pulling. Direct heat on the face flattens the loops and robs the fabric of its handle. A pressing cloth between never hurts.
Can I combine different knits?
Yes, as long as the stretch is similar. A firm sweat beside a very soft jersey pulls the seam crooked. With larger differences a stay tape in the shoulder seam helps.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them. Jersey offcuts become cuffing, pocket bags, hair ties or appliqué. Since the goods do not fray, even small pieces work without finishing. Even strips of a few centimetres still make a loop or a label.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Whatever shrinks later shrinks better before cutting than on the finished piece. Wash the way you will wash the garment, and dry it the same way.
