Description
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 210 g/m², width to 145 cm. It is woven from 97 % cotton and 3 % Elastan.
In Petrol the fabric reads matter-of-fact and calm. For everyday clothing that is the least complicated choice. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later.
What Cotton Jersey in Petrol is suitable for
- dresses and skirts
- hoodies and sweat jackets
- cuffs and finishes

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.
