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 145 cm wide and brings 180 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 95 % cotton and 5 % Elastan.
Azure carries pattern well without covering it — which makes the tone the favourite ground for prints. A vehicle print tells a story and turns even a plain shirt into a favourite. The cut edge of jersey curls. That is no fault but the nature of the goods; you still finish the edge.

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.
