Jersey
Fabric is
a type of knit
textile made
from cotton or a
cotton and
synthetic blend.
Some common uses
for jersey
fabric include
t-shirts and
winter bedding.
The fabric is
warm, flexible,
stretchy, and
very insulating,
making it a
popular choice
for the layer
worn closest to
the body. Jersey
also tends to be
soft, making it
very
comfortable. |

A knitting machine is used to make jersey, since it can create the small, even, close grained stitches associated with jersey fabric. Like many other knit fabrics, jersey fabric has a right side and a wrong side. The right side of the material is marked by a series of very small lines which run vertically, and the wrong side has a horizontal grain. In most cases, a garment made from jersey fabric is sewn with the right side facing out, unless the seamstress is making a deliberate stylistic choice.
One of the reasons
many people like to
wear jersey fabric
is the stretch
factor. The fabric
can stretch up to
25% percent along
its grain. Garments
made from the
material have plenty
of give as their
wearers move, and
also tend to cling
to the body, since
the fabric contracts
as well as
expanding. Knit
dresses are usually
made from jersey
fabric, exploiting
the clingy
characteristic of
the fabric. Jersey
fabric is also
available in a large
assortment of colors
and patterns to suit
all tastes. |
