What is stretchy cotton called?

[sneezecakesmum]

I want to make a sleep suit with natural fibres and fleece is too warm.

bamboo fleece is too expensive.

Brushed cotton, not stretchy enough.

I am sitting here in stretch cotton (100%) pjs (lazy slut ) which is just the right fabric but I cant find any in fabric warehouse or online. Am I not looking in the right place?

Jersey? That's what it's always been known as in our house anyway

Cotton jersey, isn't it?

Cotton jersey, but take note of the weight - lighter weight ones can be very thin, you need a heavier weight one for your project

Also check if it is "mercerised" ie pre shrunk, if not you need to shrink it by heavy steam iron or hot wash before cutting it - or it will shrink later

HTH

Lovely I am off to find heavier cotton jersey for my project. Confusion now gone

jersey or knitted cotton.

or even teeshirt fabric...

heavier stuff is also called interlock

although technically, all interlock is knitted cotton (names are confusing...)

by some fluke I have ordered interlock cotton jersey which should be the heavier fabric I wanted. Now hurry up and arrive I want to get sewing!
