Pattern your designWe love jersey! It's soft, breathable, and comfortable – and the wonderful stretch gives you full flexibility for everyday tasks, big and small. Cotton jersey with patterns is delightful. It makes the more traditional DIY designs – e.g., the classic short- or long-sleeved t-shirt – even more personal. Let the pattern play a central role and discover how you create a unique wardrobe with several new favourites. What will you sew?Jersey suits most things. For leggings and trousers, tops and t-shirts, or dresses and skirts. It's also a lovely material for a soft bodysuit for the little ones. Explore our many different sewing patterns, or create your very own design. Some practicalitiesWhen working with jersey, we recommend using a jersey needle, which is characterised by having a medium point – also called ball point. The needle easily penetrates the knitted quality and prevents stitches and threads from running. For this type of jersey, we recommend jersey needles in size 70/80.This cotton was cultivated in accordance with standards that promote soil health, enhance water efficiency, and encourage continuous improvement in farming practices.

Welcoming a bundle of joy into the world is a transformative experience.
