Jersey, Ponte Roma & Knits

Shop jersey and knit fabrics for comfortable dressmaking projects, including T-shirts, tops, leggings, dresses, sweatshirts, baby clothes and loungewear. Jersey fabric has stretch, making it ideal for garments that need movement and comfort. Depending on the fabric, it can be soft and drapey for dresses and tops, or thicker and cosier for sweatshirts and casualwear.

When choosing jersey, check the stretch, recovery, weight and fibre content. Cotton jersey is great for everyday basics, viscose jersey gives a softer drape, and sweatshirt knits are ideal for cooler weather. Use stretch needles, ballpoint needles or twin needles for the best finish.
