Comfortable and sustainable sewing

This fabric is ideal if you love comfortable fashion. Thanks to the stretch across the width and its soft handle, it is a pleasure to sew and to wear. Our fabric specialist rates the drape at TVI softness 3/5, which means a medium, pleasant drape: structured enough for a sweatshirt, yet soft enough to hang nicely in a dress. That makes it a very accessible dressmaking fabric for both beginners and more experienced makers.

Let it inspire a cosy loungewear set, a comfortable hoodie for cooler days or a stylish sweatshirt dress. It is also an excellent choice for a relaxed cardigan. Because you are working with recycled material, your handmade project gains an extra sustainable touch. In short, this is a wardrobe staple fabric by the metre for your sewing room.
