What to do with thin Jersey material

3 replies

I've bought some fabric from ebay - I thought it would be medium/thick Jersey fabric that I could use to make some trousers and a jacket.

Now it's arrived it seems really thin and I don't think I can use it for this.

Any ideas what I can do? I have 6m of it!

Depending on the weight - I've recently made the Coco top from Tilly and the Buttons and really like the way it wears.

I did just this recently OP, buying online can be very disappointing Sad.

I had only bought 1 metre though and made some yoga pants for my daughter so it wasn't wasted entirely.

6m is a lot! I would look for a slouchy dress pattern or wrap over dress which could use a 3m easily enough.

I know, I'm kicking myself. At least it was only £3/m... I think I'm going to make some yoga type trousers (can always use for gym or as pjs), then see if I can find any decent dress/summer top patterns.
