My Favorite Fabric For Comfy Clothes – Organic Cotton Fabric

November 9, 2016 by Denise 29 Comments

Organic cotton knit fabric is a wonderful material to sew clothing with. It withstands many wears and washes and always looks as new as when you bought it. I love using organic cotton knit fabric for t-shirts, leggings, pajamas and other things. Organic Cotton Plus is my favorite manufacturer. They grow and produce most of their fabric here in the US and they don’t use chemicals to treat or color their fabric.

My favorite fabric for comfy clothes is organic cotton fabric

This organic knit fabric is perfect for shirts. Check out why in this post. Organic cotton knit fabric review.

*This is a sponsored post by Organic Cotton Plus. They provided the shown fabric to me but my opinions are all mine. Please see full disclosure here.

Organic Cotton Plus is generously offering a $25 gift certificate to one lucky winner! All you have to do to enter is visit their website, then come back here and comment underneath this post with your favorite material and what you would do with it. This giveaway will end Friday, November 18, 2016.

Since quite a while I have been working with Organic Cotton Plus and can’t ever say just how much I love their fabric! Every time I get to use their fabric, I absolutely love their quality. Today I am showcasing a t-shirt I made for myself with this amazing orange/white organic cotton knit fabric.

I made myself a top with a pattern from Love Notions, the Laundry Day Tee which I have used once before (see the post here). This time I made this shirt slightly different as the pattern instructed. I love the fit of the shirt and it has some really great flare. I slimmed it down a bit, probably about 2″ from each side (lower area only, I kept the width of the chest area the same). I added a flattering cowl neckline instead of the regular band binding. I really love the outcome!This organic knit fabric is perfect for shirts. Check out why in this post. Organic cotton knit fabric review.

Fabric details:

  • Knit fabric title is “Courage”
  • Organic cotton grown and knit in India and printed in USA using water-based ink
  • it consists of 100% organic cotton fibers
  • the knit fabric type is interlock
  • the color orange is vibrant and looks amazing with the white
  • the fabric width is 60″ and the print covers the entire width! There is almost no selvage.

Check out where else I have used Organic Cotton Fabric on HERE (includes free pattern!)

Just a note to using interlock knit fabric for this type of shirt: I love the quality of this organic knit fabric because it is very soft unlike some other interlock knits. That is why I love to use it for some of my shirts. It is also a nice and warm thickness, perfect for colder months.

Another benefit for me is that I can sew the hems without stabilizing them first, which I normally do as shown in this post. This interlock knit fabric works for me for comfy everyday clothes all the time!

I hope you will sew with organic fabric soon!

This organic knit fabric is perfect for shirts. Check out why.

    I found some really pretty interlock knits to make a top for myself. I’m not very familiar with sewing with knits but I think I will give thus a try. Thank you for sending me to their website.

    I’d like to make a boho style shirt with this poplin cowslips pink fabric. History is that cowslips first grew where St Peter dropped his keys so they are also known as Herb Peter or Key of Heaven. The cowslip has a sedative effect and is used to make infusions for treating anxiety, insomnia and headaches. (Insomnia that many of us sewists have from having too many great ideas and not enough time! LOL)

    I love the cave print! I need soft cotton because I’m having radiation for breast cancer and my whole left side is very sensitive.

    I didn’t even know this Organic Cotton Plus existed! Thanks for sharing! I think I would like to get some of the undyed fabric. I am interested in ice dyeing and would like to give it a try. Maybe some french terry or stretch jersey.

    I will soon start radiation therapy for beast cancer and I need tops that open down the front and one side. It is extremely cold in the radiation room, so I would choose Fleece-61″-Pink, SKU# 15796-101 for warmth and softness against my soon-to-be-burned skin. Thank you for this opportunity!
