Sweatshirt Fabric by the Yard: High-Quality Brushed and French Terry Color white

Sweatshirt fabric (commonly known as French Terry or Sweatshirt Fleece) is a heavy-duty knit that is thicker and more stable than classic jersey. At bubufabrics.com, we offer premium quality sweatshirt fabrics with a high cotton content and a touch of elastane. This ensures your garments won't sag (e.g., at the knees) and will maintain their shape even after many washes.

1. Types of Sweatshirt Fabrics: Which One to Choose?

• French Terry (Unbrushed): Features characteristic "loops" on the back. It is breathable and perfect for year-round wear.

• Brushed Sweatshirt Fabric: The inner side is brushed into a soft, cozy fleece. This is the "winter" version designed to keep you warm even in freezing temperatures.

• Summer Sweatshirt Fabric: Features a lower GSM (weight), making it thinner and more elastic—ideal for summer loungewear and shorts.

2. Perfect Harmony: 100% Color Matching

One of the biggest advantages of shopping with us is the professional finish of your DIY projects.

Our ribbing (cuffs) and solid sweatshirt fabrics are a 100% color match! You no longer have to painstakingly search for a "close enough" shade for your sleeve cuffs or waistbands. If you select a sweatshirt fabric and ribbing with the same color code, you will receive identical shades, making your garment look like it came straight from a high-end designer boutique.

3. What to Sew: Inspiration for Every Generation

👟 Sport & Streetwear

• Tracksuits: Classic hoodies and matching joggers.

• Bomber Jackets: Stylish jackets that look fantastic when combined with a metal zipper and our matching ribbing.

• Vests: Thick, brushed sweatshirt fabric is excellent for long vests with oversized pockets.

👗 Women’s Fashion & "Office Comfort"

• Sweatshirt Dresses: Comfortable dresses to pair with sneakers or boots—choose a sporty hooded style or an elegant boat neck.

• Skirts & Culottes: Pencil skirts or wide-leg trousers made from elastic French terry combine professional elegance with maximum comfort.

• Cardigans: Long, flowy duster coats for spring layering.

👶 For Kids & Babies

• "Grow-with-Me" Pants: Thanks to high ribbing at the waist and ankles, these pants can last through 2 to 3 sizes.

• Overalls & Beanies: Soft material that provides comfort and protection on windy days.

4. Sewing & Care Tips

• Needle: Use Jersey or Stretch needles (size 80 – 90).

• Preparation: Due to the high cotton content, we recommend washing (pre-shrinking) the fabric before cutting.

• Washing: Wash at 30–40°C. Always wash printed fabrics inside out to protect the colors.

• Drying: Sweatshirt fabrics do not like the dryer (it can cause excessive shrinkage and pilling). Air drying away from direct sunlight is best.
