French Terry
Looking for a versatile knit for your next sewing project? French terry is a great option for everyday clothing, offering a smooth outer face and a looped reverse. It's a practical choice for garments that need a little more substance than lightweight jersey while keeping the flexibility of a knit.
At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of French terry fabrics in both solid and melange colours, giving you plenty of options for sewing everyday clothing for yourself and the family. Whether you're planning jumpers for the kids, a pair of joggers or a relaxed hoodie, French terry is a useful addition to your fabric stash.
Why choose French terry?
-
Smooth Face, Looped Reverse: Its distinctive construction gives French terry a different finish from brushed fleecy fabrics.
-
Stretch and Flexibility: Cotton elastane blends offer stretch and recovery, making them suitable for garments that need to move comfortably.
-
Solid and Melange Colours: Choose from classic solid shades or melange finishes with subtle colour variation.
-
Versatile for Sewing: French terry is suited to jumpers, hoodies, joggers, dresses, skirts, children's clothing and relaxed everyday garments.
-
Useful Across the Seasons: Depending on its weight and composition, French terry can work for layering and everyday wear throughout the year.
Choosing the right French terry
French terry fabrics can vary in weight, stretch and drape, so check the individual product details against your sewing pattern's recommendations before cutting. If you're choosing between solid and melange colours, ordering a swatch can help you compare the shades and feel the fabric in person.
