I’ve got a lovely 130gsm viscose twill with spandex and no clue what to make
It’s 96% viscose 4% spandex
will it bag out if I make trousers? It behaves exactly as a viscose chilli and seems to need a lot of ironing too… I’m regretting the purchase mostly at the moment 🙈
Ooh interesting, do you know how heavy it is? I’m guessing if you’ve said it’s like a challis it pretty light weight.
I would treat it like any other viscose I think, perhaps a dress or blouse that is semi fitted to make the most of the stretch? Trousers I think would be fine too, but I’m imagining they would be lightweight floaty style which again would miss out on the stretch
How much stretch does it have and what is the recovery like? To find the stretch take 10cms of the fabric and stretch it as much as you can along side a measure. Every cms is a 10% stretch so 10cms to 15 cms is 50% stretch, 10cms to 11cms is 10% stretch and so on. That should help in deciding what to use the fabric for.
