Made from a blend of cotton and polyester, they offer unparalleled softness, good stretch and excellent durability. Perfectly suited to casual, sportswear or loungewear outfits, they are sold by the metre and are Oeko-Tex certified Oeko-Tex, guaranteeing the absence of substances harmful to health.
This fabric is therefore a first-rate choice for sewing enthusiasts looking for a textile that is easy to work with, pleasant to wear and sufficiently versatile for a wide range of projects.

Why choose jogging fabrics for your sewing projects?
Easy to sew
Jogging fabric is pleasant to handle, even for beginners. Thanks to its good structure, it is easy to cut and sew, particularly with a stretch or jersey needle and polyester thread. It works equally well with simple patterns (such as a basic sweatshirt) and more technical designs with pockets, hoods, zips or panels.
A functional and fashionable fabric
Jogging fleece combines aesthetic appeal and functionality:
- It is breathable, allowing you to stay comfortable even during exercise.
- It retains heat, making it perfect for winter.
- It is easy to care for and can be machine-washed 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 guarantees that it contains no chemicals harmful to health or the environment. It is the perfect solution for children’s clothing, sportswear or simply for more responsible sewing.
How do you work with jogging fabric?
Here are a few sewing tips to help you succeed with your projects using this fabric:
- Use a special jersey or stretch needle to prevent the fabric from becoming misshapen.
- Choose a stretch stitch or a zigzag stitch that will accommodate the fabric’s natural stretch.
- Preferably use an overlocker for neat finishes, but a standard sewing machine is sufficient for most projects.
- Pin the pieces securely to prevent shifting, especially when working with a thicker fabric.
