As the warmer months are approaching us it is a great time to make some lovely garments which have a lovely casual look to them. We have so many different fabrics to choose from whether you are looking for a plain fabric which you can accessorize, or want something a bit fancy which will create a lovely unique look. A very popular casual dressmaking fabric, which is very versatile and can be made into dresses, tops and floaty lightweight jackets is our range of Jersey. There are a few different choices within the jersey range and we will help you decide on which one would be the best choice for you! Cotton Jersey- This is made from 100% cotton and is more of a T-shirt weight which would look great when making more casual looking tops or transpire into comfortable maxi dresses, ideal for this time of year as the warmer months are (hopefully!) approaching us! The Cotton Jersey is 160cm wide and comes in a lovely choice of colours. Lycra Jersey- This has a 4 way stretch to it and will drape beautifully. This could be used for a number of dressmaking ideas and could be even used to make into evening wear as it is a lovely quality! The composition of this fabric is 80% polyester and 20% Lycra which will also add to the comfort when wearing it. Viscose Jersey- This is a lovely fabric with a 4-way stretch and is made from 100% viscose. Again, if you are looking for a fabric that will hang beautifully and drapes wonderfully. It is also available in a choice of lovely colours too!
