95% Cotton - 5% Elastane
A summer fleece fabric with a pleasant texture and a leaf print on a white background. This fabric, like all sweatshirt fabrics by Katia Fabrics, is certified by the Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, so it’s the perfect sweatshirt fabric for sensitive skin. The Rustic Foliage Summer Sweat sweatshirt fabric is composed of cotton and 5% elastane for greater elasticity and comfort, so this fabric is perfect to sew sweatshirts, sweatpants or comfortable dresses. In our 2024 Spring-Summer Travel Postcards sewing pattern magazine you can find the patterns and instructions needed to sew pretty garments out of this fleece fabric.
-Jersey needle, SUK ballpoint, thickness: 70/80
-Sew with low tension in the top thread of the sewing machine and a small stitch so that, when you pull the seams, the backstitch does not break. Avoid pulling the fabric when sewing so that the seams do not stretch.
-If you have an overlook machine, ideal for all types of seam, adjust the differential feed until you see that the fabric is not pulling.
-Hem with a twin jersey needle.
-Steam or wash before cutting and sewing.
-Always iron the glitter patterns of Sweat Gold on the back of the fabric.
