Jersey is a soft, elastic fabric that is super comfy and adapts beautifully to the body. It is stretchy, usually lightweight and feels pleasantly smooth on the skin.

Typical of jersey: it moves with you, which makes it perfect for everyday clothing. Depending on the material, it can be thin and airy or somewhat firmer.

When sewing, jersey likes to curl up a little at the edges, but with a few tricks it works well. It is ideal for T-shirts, dresses, sleepwear or kids' clothing.

In short: soft, stretchy and a true feel-good fabric for every day.

Sweatshirt fabric is a soft, somewhat thicker fabric that is usually slightly brushed on the inside – which makes it feel nice and warm and cosy.

It is elastic or at least slightly stretchy, which makes it super comfortable. That is exactly why it is so popular for cosy clothing.

It is perfect for hoodies, joggers, jumpers or comfy dresses.

In short: cosy, warm and the perfect fabric for relaxed feel-good pieces.

Romanit jersey is a somewhat thicker, stable jersey fabric that is super comfortable to wear. It is elastic but not as “floppy” as regular jersey – more structured and nicely smooth. As a result, it drapes softly without clinging to every little curve.

The fabric usually feels cool and soft on the skin and hardly creases. So it is perfect for comfortable yet smart clothing such as dresses, skirts, blazers or trousers. Romanit jersey is pretty relaxed to sew because it does not curl as much.

In short: as comfy as jersey, but a bit smarter and neater in look.

Woven fabrics are made from two sets of threads: warp threads and weft threads, which are interlaced crosswise. As a result, they usually have no stretch and hold their shape well.

Depending on the material and weave, they can look very different – from light and airy to firm and sturdy. That is exactly what makes them so versatile.

Woven fabrics are usually easy to sew because they cut well and keep their shape. The only thing is that they can fray a little at the edges.

They are perfect for clothing such as blouses, shirts, skirts and dresses, but also for bags, home decor and many other projects.

In short: classic, versatile and the basis for lots and lots of sewing ideas.

Knitted fabric is an elastic fabric created by a special knitting technique. This makes it stretchy and lets it move easily with you – so it is super comfortable. Knitted fabric is sometimes also simply called "knit fabric".

Unlike woven fabric, knitted fabric is rather soft and flexible, often also somewhat thicker or more voluminous, depending on the type. The surface can look very different: smooth, fine or slightly textured.

Knitted fabric is usually easy to sew because it is easy to work with and does not fray quickly. Perfect for comfortable clothing such as T-shirts, dresses, leggings or light jackets.

In short: stretchy, cosy and made for everything that should fit comfortably.

Stretch fabrics are all fabrics that are elastic and stretch well. This makes them super comfortable and they move easily with you.

They can look very different – from thin jersey to firm fabrics with an elastane content. What always matters is that they have “stretch”.

They are typically used for comfortable clothing such as T-shirts, leggings, dresses or sportswear.

In short: flexible, comfortable and perfect for anything that should adapt well.
