Sew Dynamic Fabric Bases:
Athletic French Terry US (grainline):
📝Athletic French Terry is smooth on the front side, with small/fine loops on the back. This fabric is drapey and I would describe it as a french terry version of brushed jersey.
❗ Please note AFT has small runs along one selvage. For the most part they are entirely in the selvage, but they can go into the print by 1-2". The price reflects this known flaw.

58" wide
30% horizontal; 25% vertical stretch
Recommended Uses: hoodies, joggers, jackets, and shorts.
Brushed Jersey (grainline):
📝Brushed Jersey is smooth on the front side, but is brushed on the wrong side. The brushed side gives it a warm-hand. It has a jersey construction, therefore less recovery and compression than an athletic knit fabric.

Oeko Tex Standard 100 Certified
Recommended Uses: Leggings, sports bras, shorts, dresses, hoodies, jackets and joggers. Keep in mind the ABP is brushed and can feel warm. In hot climates, I recommend AK 265 instead of ABP for work out attire. The brushing also gives it less drape. For dresses, I would stick with body con or circle skirts and not gathers.
DriRelease (grainline):
❗ Please note the Drirelease coloring is not as saturated as the other fabric bases. It has a more muted, vintage look. Please see pictures.
📝Drirelease is a light weight fabric. It is soft, has good drape and not clingy. This fabric is printed on the grain line.
