Cotton jersey

If we had to choose the most popular fabric today, then cotton knitwear would be a serious contender for first place. The combination of cotton and elastane created a unique material that is easy to fall into. It is perfect for sewing a wide variety of clothes. The variety of color shades and motifs is a challenge for every creative seamstress. A clever combination of different patterns can create amazing and original pieces of clothing.

What you should know about the substance:

You will especially love the softness, flowability, breathability and elasticity of cotton knitwear. These properties make it the most comfortable material that can be tolerated even by otherwise sensitive children.

And while knit with elastane is more flexible, fits better against the skin and doesn't tend to pull out, 100% cotton knit is more breathable and comfortable, just a little more wrinkled.

Cotton knits are proud of the Oeko-Tex Standart 100 class 1 certificate, which guarantees gentleness to sensitive skin, so the fabrics are also suitable for children under 3 years of age. Some of the plain knits also have the GOTS certificate.

Cotton knitwear needs to be prepped before sewing.

How to use the substance:

You can dress men, women and children in cotton knitwear. Its use is almost universal.

For example, you can use it to make decent T-shirts, tunics, dresses and skirts. Perfect for leggings , sports pants, thinner children's tracksuits, shorts, tank tops. You can also conjure up extremely comfortable pyjamas, hats, neck warmers and, of course, even elegant finger gloves.
