Stitch It Classic Jersey Fabric | Dots Jeans

Jersey Fabric Information

The fabric is mid-weight jersey with impeccable print quality. Extremely high cotton content ensures the fabric has a lovely feel.

Created with only 5% Elastane meaning although the fabric does have stretch and will provide a fitted finish it is not overly stretchy and is a little easier to handle than ultra-stretch options.

We describe this as a: Mid Weight Jersey (200gsm).

As a rough guide, lightweight options come in at 100 – 140gsm mark. At the 200gsm weight the fabric is ideal for dressmaking through to tops and t-shirts.

Part of the larger  available from Empress Mills.

Sewing Your Jersey Fabric

Along with the actual Jersey Fabrics we are pleased to offer you all the ‘bits and bobs’ around the edges that make sewing Jersey easier and much more effective:

Needles – Stitch with . The ball of the needle parts the Jersey fibres rather than piercing them to help ensure the elastic quality remain intact.

Thread – Stitch with , this is a poly/cotton fibre. Alternatively, if you would prefer to work with a pure cotton option  will also stitch perfectly.

General Purpose Thread is included if you ‘add a matching thread above’.

Interfacing –  are created especially for working with fabrics such as Jersey. They add a little more body to make sewing easier.
