Description
French terry is smooth outside and finely looped inside. It warms noticeably more than jersey without adding bulk. 240 g/m² at 145 cm wide: calculate your yardage from the width, not from the pattern alone. Material: 95 % cotton and 5 % Elastan.
A fabric in Light Grey reads calm and lets cut and texture come forward. Stars belong to the motifs children and adults like alike — and they suit almost any cuffing. Sweat is thicker than jersey — at hood, pockets and cuffs several layers meet quickly; sew slowly there.
What French Terry Stars in Light Grey is suitable for
- zip-up sweat jackets
- joggers
- dresses and tunics

Frequently asked questions
How much fabric does a hoodie take?
For an adult model a little over twice the body length plus sleeves, more on narrow goods. Hood and pockets come on top — allow generously.
Does it suit children's clothes?
Very well. Sweat takes movement, warms and forgives imprecise seams. Because it adds bulk, cutting a size up pays off in children's sizes. The goods also stand up to knees and elbows, the first places children wear through.
How does sweat differ from jersey?
In its inside. Sweat carries loops or a brushed surface there that holds warmth; jersey is smooth on both faces. So sweat is thicker, warmer and more stable, while stretching a little less.
How do I sew over thick spots?
Slowly and with reduced presser foot pressure. Where hood, facing and cuffing meet, turning the handwheel by hand beats pressing the pedal. A tailor's clapper or pliers flattens the spot first, and the needle then passes more easily.
