Ponte Knit fabric in Berry – a darker Magenta/Purple. To say that this piece of fabric is supple, is an understatement. It is one of the more gracefully soft yet firm hands of fabric we have come across.
60% Rayon/33% Nylon/7% Lycra, heavier weight knit (10 ounces), drape, dense with an incredibly soft hand, 60″ wide.
Price is per Yard

Sewing Pattern Suggestions:
Ponte is a thick, double knit fabric design produced on double jersey (Rib or Interlock) knitting machines. It is one of the firm, stable structures of knits with a subtle sheen. This fabric is heavier and thicker than a regular jersey and it lasts until the cows come home.
As one blogger put it: “Ponte is the perfect fabric to have a transformation from elegant to casual”.
Some patterns to exemplify that vibe of multi-occasion garments include the Mason Knit Jacket from Style Arc Patterns – oh what a great garment to make.
Also, try the Ines Knit dress, also from Style Arc Patterns – they have the ponte fabric patterns down pat.
Fabric Appropriate for also a wide range of Shirts/Tunics, straight pants or pleated skirts, wrap dresses – also jumpsuits. Try (again from Style Arc) the Carly Jumpsuit –
