Cotton jersey combines two things that rarely meet: tough enough for daily wear and soft enough for a baby's skin. Weight per square metre comes to 200 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 95 % cotton and 5 % elastane.
In Black the fabric reads clear and severe. For clothing meant to look matter-of-fact it is the first choice. Stars belong to the motifs children and adults like alike — and they suit almost any cuffing. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
