Cotton Spandex Jersey Knit Fabric Mustard - 4-Way Stretch 58/60 in

In this review of the Mustard cotton spandex jersey knit, the bottom line is clear: this fabric is best for sewists who want a medium-weight, highly elastic knit for garments that need comfort and recovery. The reviewer found the blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex delivers a soft hand and reliable 4-way stretch that works well for leggings, tees, and loungewear, and the 58/60 in width plus pre-cut 30 yard length make it convenient for multiple projects or small-batch production.

Key Features

• Blend: The 95% cotton and 5% spandex mix gives a soft, breathable fabric that feels comfortable against the skin for everyday wear.
• Stretch: The 4-way stretch structure provides good elasticity lengthwise and crosswise, useful for form-fitting garments that need recovery.
• Width and length: At 58/60 in wide and pre-cut in a 30 yard length, the fabric suits wider cuts and reduces the need for piecing panels on large patterns.
• Weight: The 12OZ weight yields a medium to substantial drape that is opaque enough for leggings and durable for repeated wear.
• Sold by unit: Each quantity is delivered as individual pieces so buyers ordering multiple yards receive separate cut pieces for flexible use.

Who It's For

This fabric is ideal for home sewers, indie brands, and costume makers who need a reliable cotton lycra with solid recovery for activewear, casual dresses, tops, and children's clothing. The mustard color tested well for accurate, saturated tone and holds up in garments that see frequent wear.

Shoppers who require ultra-fine, lightweight summer knits or those who need continuous uncut yardage longer than the pre-cut 30 yard rolls should check availability first or contact the seller for longer continuous lengths. Also, if a very thin or sheer jersey is desired, this medium-weight 12OZ option may be heavier than preferred.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, breathable cotton blend feels comfortable for all-day wear and resists pilling in normal use.
• Excellent 4-way stretch and recovery make it suitable for fitted garments and activewear.
• Generous 58/60 in width reduces seams for wide-pattern cutting and maximizes usable fabric per yard.
• Durable 12OZ weight provides opacity for leggings and sturdiness for repeated washes.

Cons

• Pre-cut 30 yard length means buyers get separate pieces per quantity, which may be inconvenient for projects needing very long continuous runs.
• Some users may find the fabric slightly thicker than the lightest jersey knits, so it is not ideal for ultra-sheer or drapey camisole designs.

Our Verdict

Overall, this mustard cotton spandex jersey is a dependable choice for makers who want a medium-weight, soft knit with strong stretch and recovery.
