At STKRM, we have just launched a beautiful new collection of jersey with matching stretch linings. Our jersey is soft, stretchy, and breathable, made from 92% polyester and 8% elastane, making it perfect for dress making projects and garment production. Its versatility makes it perfect for creating a range of projects, from stylish clothing to cosy home accessories. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crafter, jersey fabric offers endless possibilities to spark your creativity. Here are some exciting projects to try with jersey fabric.
Ivory Jersey/Royal Blue Jersey/Black Jersey
Jersey fabric is synonymous with comfort, making it ideal for casual clothing like T-shirts. With its stretch and drape, jersey ensures a flattering fit that feels breathable against the skin. Try our classic Ivory Jersey to create the ultimate classic white T-shirt.
Create your own custom loungewear sets for the ultimate comfort. Think oversized T-shirts, drawstring trousers, or soft shorts. The breathable nature of jersey fabric makes it perfect for relaxing at home or even as sleepwear. Try out Royal Blue Jersey to create the comfiest loungewear.
The stretchiness of jersey fabric makes it an excellent choice for sewing into leggings. At STKRM our jersey is super durable, making it perfect for creating comfortable and stretchy leggings. Try our Black Jersey to create a perfect pair of classic leggings that will go with anything.
Mauve Jersey/ Mauve Stretch Lining/ Dusky Pink Jersey
The drapey nature of jersey makes it ideal for creating flowing dresses and skirts. Whether it is a simple A-line skirt or a maxi dress, jersey provides a flattering silhouette. Pair your creation with a belt or accessories to elevate the look. Try using our Mauve Jersey to create a skirt, adding a pop of colour to your outfit, and line your skirt with our Mauve Stretch Lining.
Transform a piece of jersey fabric into a stylish infinity scarf in just minutes. This quick project is beginner-friendly and requires minimal sewing. Choose vibrant colours or soft neutrals to match your wardrobe. Our Dusky Pink Jersey would make a beautiful spring jersey scarf.
Baby Blue Jersey/ Baby Blue Stretch Lining /Lilac Jersey
Jersey fabric is gentle on sensitive skin, making it a go-to material for baby projects. Onesies, hats and bibs are practical and adorable gifts for new parents. Plus, the stretch ensures a snug but comfortable fit. Our jersey fabrics all have matching linings, which are perfect for creating matching sets. Try our Baby Blue Jersey teamed with our Baby Blue Stretch Lining for the ultimate baby set.
For a cosy home accessory, consider making a throw blanket or quilt with jersey fabric. Combine assorted colours to create a patchwork design. Jersey-backed quilts are lightweight yet warm, perfect for snuggling up on the sofa. Try combining Ivory Jersey and Black Jersey for an on-trend, checkerboard, patchwork quilt design.
Jersey’s stretchiness also works well for headbands, scrunchies, and other hair accessories. These projects require minimal fabric and are a fantastic way to use up scraps. Try our Lilac Jersey to create a matching jersey headband and scrunchie; great to give as a small and personal gift.
Mint Jersey/Mint Stretch Lining/Eucalyptus Jersey
Eco-friendly and stylish, a reusable tote bag made from jersey fabric is perfect for shopping runs or casual outings. The fabric’s stretch adds flexibility, making it easier to carry bulky items. Try our Jersey fabric in Mint to create the ultimate spring tote bag. Add lining to your bag to give it longevity with our Mint Stretch Lining.
Upgrade your bedding with jersey fabric pillowcases. They are easy to sew and provide a cosy, T-shirt-like feel that is perfect for a good night’s sleep. Try our Eucalyptus Jersey for a gorgeous spring pillowcase set.
Stabilize Edges: Jersey can curl at the edges. Try using fabric stabilisers or a double-needle for clean hems.
Practice Your Stitch: A zigzag stitch or a stretch stitch works best to maintain the fabric’s elasticity.
Pre-Wash: Jersey fabric can shrink, so try to pre-wash before starting your project.
Jersey fabric is a dream to work with, offering comfort and flexibility for a wide range of projects. From wardrobe staples to cosy home accessories, there is no shortage of creative possibilities. Grab your fabric and sewing machine, and let your imagination go wild. At STKRM we have a wide variety of fabrics for all of your fashion and homeware projects.
