Description
Sports and swimwear need more than stretch — this jersey returns to shape even after being pulled hard. At 165 cm wide its weight per square metre is 220 g/m². It is woven from 7 % elastane and 93 % polyester.
Powder is no signal colour but a warm middle shade with a character of its own. Stretch runs across the web; align your pattern pieces accordingly, otherwise the piece sits wrong later. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Functional Jersey in Powder is suitable for
- shirts and long sleeves
- children's clothing
- children's bedding

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.
