Jogging fabrics, also called stretch fleece, are materials that combine comfort, flexibility, and modernity. Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, they offer unmatched softness, good elasticity, and great durability. Perfectly suited for casual, sporty, or homewear outfits, they are sold by the meter and certified Oeko-Tex, ensuring the absence of harmful substances for health.
This fabric is therefore a top choice for sewing enthusiasts looking for a textile that is easy to work with, pleasant to wear, and versatile enough for various projects.

Why choose jogging fabrics for your sewing projects?
Ease of sewing
Jogging fabric is pleasant to handle, even for beginners. Thanks to its good structure, it cuts and sews easily, especially with a stretch or jersey needle and polyester thread. It works well for simple patterns (like a basic sweatshirt) as well as more technical models with pockets, hoods, zippers, or panels.
A functional and trendy fabric
Jogging fleece combines aesthetics and functionality:
- It is breathable, allowing you to stay comfortable even during physical activity.
- It retains heat, making it perfect for winter.
- It is easy to care for in the machine at 30 or 40°C without losing its shape.
A certified textile for responsible sewing
Our jogging fabric is Oeko-Tex certified, a guarantee of quality and safety. This certification ensures it contains no harmful chemicals for health or the environment. It is a perfect solution for children's clothing, sportswear, or simply for more responsible sewing.
How to work well with jogging fabric?
Here are some sewing tips to succeed with your projects using this fabric:
- Use a special jersey or stretch needle to prevent the fabric from deforming.
- Choose a stretch stitch or a zigzag stitch, which will follow the fabric’s natural elasticity.
- Prefer an overlocker for clean finishes, but a standard sewing machine is sufficient for most projects.
- Pin the pieces well to avoid shifting, especially with thicker fabrics.
