Page 2 - Cuddly sweat
Cuddle sweat is a brushed sweat fabric that provides warmth and comfort thanks to its soft reverse side. Whether for hoodies, jogging pants, cozy dresses or cuddly blankets - cuddly sweat is ideal for anything that needs to be cuddly and cozy. Many hobby sewers are looking for cuddly fabric by the meter or want to buy cuddly fabric to sew personal feel-good pieces.
What is cuddle fabric suitable for?
Cuddly sweat is suitable for casual and everyday wear, especially for children's and baby textiles, as the brushed inside retains warmth. The fabric is also a great choice for sporty, comfortable cuts, oversized sweaters or warm hats. Thanks to the different weights, the material can be used for both light transitional jackets and thicker cozy models.
Processing tips
- Before sewing: Pre-wash the fabric to minimize any shrinkage effects.
- Needles and stitches: Use jersey or elastic needles and sewing with stretchy stitches or overlocker.
- Hem technique: For stretch hems, use a twin needle or a coverstitch; alternatively: wider hems with cuffed fabric.
- Handling: When cutting, go easy on the brushed side and work with a rotary cutter to obtain clean edges.
