Organic Cotton Jersey Fabrics

Organic Cotton Jersey Fabrics by the Metre

Organic cotton jersey fabric is a soft, stretchy knit made from cotton grown without synthetic pesticides. In this category you'll find a broad range of colours in a fine, medium-weight jersey that suits everything from basic tees to children's clothing. The fabric drapes well, holds its shape after washing, and feels pleasant against the skin. We supply it by the metre, so you can order exactly the length your pattern needs.

What makes this jersey different

Unlike standard cotton jersey, the organic version is spun from cotton fibres grown under stricter cultivation practices, without harmful chemical treatments during processing. That matters if you sew for babies, children, or anyone with sensitive skin. The knit itself is fine and even, with good colourfastness, so garments keep their tone wash after wash. You get a fabric that behaves predictably on the machine and doesn't shift or curl excessively at the cut edge, which makes hemming and seaming straightforward.

Stretch, weight and handling

This jersey has a noticeable stretch in both directions, close to a four-way stretch, which gives freedom of movement in fitted garments like leggings or bodysuits. The weight sits in the medium range: light enough for t-shirts and summer dresses, sturdy enough for long sleeves and children's wear that needs to survive frequent washing. On the sewing machine, a ballpoint needle and a slight zigzag or overlock stitch prevent skipped stitches and keep seams elastic rather than snapping under stretch.

What you can make with it

The fabric works for a wide range of projects. Some common applications:

• T-shirts, tops and tunics for adults and children
• Dresses and skirts with a relaxed drape
• Underwear, pyjamas and loungewear
• Baby clothing and rompers, thanks to the soft handle
• Leggings and casual trousers where stretch is needed

If you're after a different texture in the same jersey family, take a look at Rib Knit Jersey Fabric for a ribbed structure, or Waffle Knit Jersey Fabric if you want more visual texture on the surface. For a brushed, warmer alternative, French Terry Brushed Fabric (Isoli) is worth checking as well.

Ordering and available options

Every colour in this range is sold by the metre, so you can order a single metre for a test piece or a larger quantity for a full production run. Fabric samples are available for €0.50 if you want to check colour and hand-feel before committing to a larger cut. Businesses working with volume can benefit from wholesale pricing from 6 metres onwards. All fabric ships from our warehouse in Tilburg, and the range itself is broad enough that most colour needs are covered within this single category.

Looking beyond plain jersey

If organic cotton jersey isn't quite the finish you're after, a few related fabrics might fit better. Knitted Corduroy Jersey Fabric brings a ribbed corduroy look combined with jersey stretch, Jersey Glitter Fabric adds a bit of sparkle for festive pieces, and Scuba Crepe Jersey Fabric offers a firmer, more structured hand for garments that need body. For a plant-based alternative with a similar soft feel, Bamboo Jersey Fabrics is another option worth comparing. And if rib details or ottoman texture interest you, Ottoman Rib Jersey Fabric rounds out the jersey family nicely.

In short

Organic cotton jersey fabric gives you a soft, stretchy, skin-friendly knit suited to everyday garments, from basic tops to baby clothes. With a wide colour range, samples available, and wholesale pricing from 6 metres, it's a practical choice whether you're sewing one piece or producing in bulk.
