If you are looking for a comfortable base, this soft knitted corduroy in light blue is a great starting point for your sewing project. This plain knitted fabric, also known as rib jersey, combines the classic look of corduroy with the lovely softness of jersey fabric. Made from 96% polyester and 4% elastomer, it is bi-stretch and moves comfortably in both directions. With a width of 150 cm and a weight of 220 g/m², you have a high-quality dressmaking fabric for all kinds of stylish designs.

Getting started with your new rib jersey

When working with this fabric, a little extra care is needed. Because the material has a soft nap, it is important to place all pattern pieces in exactly the same direction on the fabric so you do not end up with unwanted shade differences in the finished item. The drape rating of 4/5 shows that this knitted fabric falls beautifully and follows the body well. To help preserve the texture, we recommend washing at 30 degrees and avoiding the tumble dryer.

This versatile fabric is ideal for sewing modern trousers, such as flared styles that keep their shape thanks to the bi-stretch. It is also an excellent choice for a comfortable shirt or a cosy sweater. The fresh plain colour gives every garment an immediate stylish finish.
