Cotton jersey (Jersey) is a lightweight, soft and stretchable fabric that provides both comfort and durability.

With a composition of natural cotton and elastane, this fabric is especially pleasant to wear thanks to cotton’s breathable and gentle properties, while elastane adds slight elasticity that allows freedom of movement. It is ideal for everyday clothing, children’s wear and also sportswear.

Sewing tips:

When sewing with cotton jersey (Jersey), it is recommended to use Jersey or Stretch needles, which are specially designed for stretchy fabrics. These needles have a rounded tip that allows them to glide easily between the jersey fibers without damaging the fabric. Needle size usually depends on the fabric thickness, but commonly suitable sizes for cotton jersey are 70/10 or 80/12.
