Turquoise ITY Polyester Knit Jersey 58 in Wide by the Yard - 5 Yard

Our review of this Turquoise ITY Fabric assesses whether this 95% poly /5% spandex knit is worth ordering by the yard. The bottom line: sewists and small apparel makers who need a soft, stretchy, lightweight fabric in a true turquoise shade will appreciate ordering cut-to-order lengths, because the material balances good drape with dependable stretch and color accuracy. The review focuses on everyday sewing uses like dresses, tops, dancewear and leggings, and highlights why the fabric performs well for those projects while noting where a heavier cloth might be preferred.

Key Features

• Composition: 95% polyester and 5% spandex provides consistent four-way give and quick recovery for form-fitting garments.
• Width: At 58-60 in wide you get generous yardage for wide patterns or cutting multiple pieces across the width without awkward seams.
• Versatility: The fabric works well for dresses, tops, dance outfits and leggings thanks to its stretch and smooth hand.
• Cut to order: Sold by the yard and cut on demand so you receive continuous lengths rather than pre-cut scraps.
• Feel and weight: The knit has a soft, slightly silky texture with a lightweight drape that suits both fitted and flowing designs.
• Stock availability: Thousands of yards in stock reduces the chance of backorder when purchasing larger quantities for costumes or small production runs.

Who It's For

This turquoise ITY is ideal for home sewists, costume makers and small apparel creators who need a stretchy, drapey fabric that is easy to cut and sew for form-fitting garments. Its wide 58-60 in width and reliable stretch make it especially useful for dancewear, leggings and dresses where seam placement and grainline matter.

Sewists who need heavy-duty, opaque fabric for structured jackets or upholstery should look elsewhere, and anyone requiring a thicker, insulating knit will find this material too lightweight. Also, if complete opacity is critical for a project, test a swatch first as customers report mixed observations on sheerness.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fabric quality with true-to-swatch color accuracy that simplifies color matching across projects.
• Stretchiness and recovery make it comfortable to wear and forgiving during pattern fitting and alterations.
• Wide 58-60 in width reduces seams and allows efficient cutting of multiple pieces.
• Soft texture and lightweight weight lend a pleasant hand and graceful drape for dresses and tops.

Cons

• Some customers find the fabric very thin, so it may require lining or underlining for modesty in lighter colors or close-fitting styles.
• As a cut-to-order yardage product, returns can be restricted if exact lengths are required, so measure carefully before ordering.
