Cotton jersey stretches across the grain and returns to shape. Exactly that makes it so usable for shirts and children's clothes. The fabric comes 150 cm wide and brings 230 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 90 % cotton and 10 % elastane.
Terracotta is a full warm tone. Beside petrol and blue it builds the classic warm-cold contrast. A leaf pattern reads calmer than a floral print and therefore suits plain cuts as well. 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.
