Mini Pointelle Cotton

Mini Pointelle Cotton Fabric by the Metre

Mini Pointelle Cotton is a lightweight cotton jersey with a fine ajour pattern, small perforations knitted into the fabric that give it a delicate, breathable structure. This fabric by the metre is soft against the skin and drapes nicely, which makes it a popular pick for babywear and children's clothing. You'll find it here in various colourways, ready to order in the quantity you need. Whether you're sewing a single garment or preparing a small production run, this cotton works well for both.

What makes Mini Pointelle Cotton different

The "mini" in the name refers to the scale of the ajour pattern: small, evenly spaced holes rather than a bold openwork design. This gives the fabric a refined, understated look that suits delicate garments. Because the knit stays fairly fine, the fabric keeps its shape well and doesn't stretch out of proportion after washing. It's a cotton jersey that reads as soft and airy without feeling flimsy on the needle.

Typical uses for this cotton jersey

Pointelle cotton is a classic choice for baby and children's clothing, and Mini Pointelle Cotton fits that tradition closely. Common applications include:

• Baby rompers and sleepsuits
• Lightweight summer tops for children
• Dresses and skirts with a soft drape
• Layering pieces such as cardigans or light jackets
• Accessories like bibs or small blankets

If you're after a bolder ajour effect, Stripe Pointelle Cotton offers the same soft cotton base but with a striped pattern woven into the openwork, giving a slightly different finish for garments that need a bit more visual texture.
