Dreamy Dresses
Viscose jersey is ideal for creating flowy and comfortable dresses. Whether you're looking for a casual maxi dress for the beach or a fitted bodycon for a night out, this fabric drapes beautifully and moves with you.

Comfortable Loungewear
This jersey's soft touch and 4-way stretch make it ideal for loungewear. Make some cosy pyjamas, lounge pants, or a slouchy cardigan for your ultimate relaxation outfit.

Versatile T-Shirts and Tops
Make the ideal staple tee or a trendy off-shoulder top. Because of the fabric's excellent recovery, your tops will retain their shape even after multiple wears.

Elegant Skirts
Our viscose jersey adapts to a variety of styles, from pencil skirts to flowy midi skirts, while remaining comfortable and easy to move.

Yoga & Activewear
Viscose's 4-way stretch and moisture-wicking properties make it ideal for lightweight activewear such as yoga pants and workout tops.

Chic Jumpsuits
Create a statement jumpsuit that is both stylish and comfortable. The fabric's drape works well with wide-leg or tapered styles.

Lingerie
Viscose jersey's soft, breathable nature makes it ideal for comfortable yet sexy lingerie pieces such as camisoles and slip dresses.

Baby and Kids' Wear
This fabric is OEKO-TEX 100 certified, making it safe and gentle for children's sensitive skin. Create adorable rompers, leggings, and play clothes.

Sewing Tips:

  • Use a ballpoint or stretch needle to avoid snags.
  • Choose a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch for seams.
  • Consider using a walking foot to avoid fabric shifting.
  • Finish the edges with a twin needle for a professional look

This medium-weight jersey, weighing 230gsm, provides enough structure for a variety of projects while maintaining excellent drape. Its 4-way stretch provides comfort and ease of movement in any garment you design.

Remember, our viscose jersey isn't just versatile and comfortable, it's also certified. Viscose is a semi-synthetic fibre derived from renewable wood pulp, making it a more sustainable alternative to fully synthetic fabrics.
