Daisy Chain - Jersey Fabric

Some fabrics are made for the clothes you reach for again and again, and this is one of them. Daisy Chain has daisies scattered all over a contrast ground, in black, white and mustard, so it’s cheerful and graphic, with a retro feel that works with plain colours in your wardrobe.

Soft, with some structure

The jersey is super soft and comfortable against the skin, and it’s well structured, which means it has some body and holds its shape well. The 5% elastane adds stretch and recovery, so garments move with you and keep looking neat. It still has a nice drape, so it hangs well on dresses and tops.

Room to cut

The width is generous, which leaves plenty of room to cut, so long dresses, full skirts and children’s patterns are easy to lay out, with less waste. The all-over print means you can place your pieces in any direction without worrying about matching.

What to make

Sewing tips:

• Wash gently before cutting, as viscose jersey can shrink
• Use a ballpoint or stretch needle and a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch
