Jersey Cashmere Fabric

Sewing garments with stretch cashmere jersey

Jersey cashmere is a knitted cloth characterised by a brushed, super-soft handle and flexible give across the grain. Because it is a knitted structure rather than a woven textile, it responds naturally to movement, providing gentle stretch and a fluid drape without feeling stiff or heavy against the skin.

This balance of flexibility and tactile softness makes it practical for a variety of casual and creative sewing projects, including:

• Tops, lightweight layers and daytime tunics
• Drapey skirts and comfortable stretch knit dresses
• Dancewear and theatrical costumes requiring ease of movement

Printed patterns and bolt widths

The fabrics in this collection measure between 148 cm (58 inches) and 150 cm wide. These wide widths give dressmakers ample cutting space for longer pattern pieces, full skirts, and set-in sleeves without awkward piecing or unnecessary seams.

Rather than plain shades, this selection focuses on printed stretch knits. The designs feature geometric elements like zig-zag and pixelated prints alongside novelty motifs, including hunter and bear illustrations and romantic heart patterns. When cutting out directional designs, plan your pattern layout carefully so the motifs run the correct way up across the finished garment.
