Cotton Lycra 280gsm

What a difference 40gsm makes! Cotton Lycra 280gsm is the thickest of the cotton lycra fabrics we stock at Material Difference and it is fabulous for winter and bottom weight sewing. This is a great “all round” fabric with excellent recovery and is perfect for jumpers, tights, pencil skirts, and dresses with structure. It works well for circle skirts that require a little more body. The additional weight in the cotton lycra adds a little more resistance to the stretch increasing the hold factor of the fabric, making it perfect for tights and skirts.

What can I make with this fabric?  This one is great for leggings and tights, pencil skirts, dresses with structure and jumpers.

Tip: Cotton lycra will curl towards the wrong side along the selvages and the right side across the stretch
