Cotton Elastane French Terry

Cotton elastane french terry is a versatile knit fabric for sewing everyday clothing that works well across the changing Australian seasons. It has a smooth outer face and a distinctive looped reverse, giving it a different finish from brushed fleecy while remaining a practical choice for jumpers, hoodies, joggers and relaxed everyday garments.

At Wicked Fabrics, I've curated a selection of European sourced cotton elastane french terry fabrics, with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified options across a range of prints and colours. The cotton blend provides stretch and flexibility, making it suitable for handmade clothing designed for regular wear.

  • Melange French Terry: A blended colour effect that adds subtle texture to everyday garments.

  • Print French Terry: Bring personality to jumpers, hoodies, children's clothing and matching sets.

What can you sew with french terry?

French terry is well suited to jumpers, hoodies, joggers, relaxed dresses, skirts and children's clothing, depending on the fabric weight and your sewing pattern. It's a useful option when you want a knit with more substance than a lightweight jersey but don't need the brushed reverse of fleecy.

When choosing your fabric, check your pattern's recommendations for weight, stretch and recovery. French terry can vary between products, so matching the fabric to your intended garment will help you achieve the fit and finish you're after.

If you're deciding between prints, melange shades or solid colours, you can order a swatch to see the fabric in person before purchasing by the metre. Check individual product listings for composition, weight and certification details.
