Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. At 150 cm wide its weight per square metre is 230 g/m². It is woven from 90 % cotton and 10 % elastane.
Mustard reads friendly on pale ground and almost luminous on dark — contrast decides. If you sew jersey for the first time, a simple shirt is the best start — the fabric forgives more than its reputation suggests. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
