Description
Rib jersey is the knit with visible structure: it gives a piece texture without needing a pattern. The fabric comes 150 cm wide and brings 220 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 100 % cotton.
Mint comes out strongest beside red; that is the complementary contrast, and it always works. 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.
What Rib Jersey Flowers in Mint is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- leggings and trousers
- children's bedding
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
