Polyester
Looking for a fabric that combines durability, easy care and performance? Polyester knits are a practical option for sewing activewear and other garments that need to handle regular wear, movement and washing.
At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of polyester blend knits, including recycled polyester options, for home sewists and small handmade businesses. Whether you're planning a pair of leggings, sports tops, dancewear or other stretch garments, choosing the right fabric can make a difference to the fit, feel and finish of your project.
Why choose polyester fabrics?
-
Recycled Fibre Options: Explore recycled polyester fabrics if you're looking to incorporate recycled materials into your sewing projects. Check individual product details for specific composition and recycled content.
-
Durability: Polyester is valued for its strength and resistance to everyday wear, making it useful for garments that see regular use.
-
Easy Care: Many polyester fabrics are crease resistant and easy to maintain, helping keep everyday garments looking neat.
-
Performance Features: Depending on the fabric construction and blend, options may offer moisture wicking properties, breathability and stretch.
-
Versatile for Sewing: Polyester knits can suit activewear, leggings, sports tops, dancewear and other garments designed for movement.
When choosing a polyester knit, consider your sewing pattern's stretch requirements, fabric weight and intended use. Performance features vary between fabrics, so it's worth checking each product description before making your selection.
Not sure about the colour or feel? Ordering a swatch lets you see the colour in your own lighting, feel the texture and assess the stretch before purchasing by the metre.
