Hi, Yes. But it is two separate words when used this way. It's one word as an adjective, eg my everyday sweater.

Here's a usage note from the Oxford dictionary:
"The adjective everyday, 'pertaining to every day, ordinary,' is correctly spelled as one word ( : carrying out their everyday activities), but the adverbial phrase every day, meaning 'each day,' is always spelled as two words ( : it rained every day)".
