What To Sew With A Viscose Twill With 5% Spandex?

I’ve got 2 lovely stretch woven viscoses in purple & navy, thinking of transitional trousers but now worried about baggy knees etc, I was thinking a loose fit… is this a bad choice for this fabric? It’s 5% spandex 95% viscose

Originally thinking chanterelles b it maybe Ninis would be better?

Hi Stephanie - how heavy is the fabric?

I think these patterns are lovely but the stretch of the fabric would be lost on them as they are designed to be pull on and loose. I wonder if a pair of trousers with maybe a flat waistband and side or front zip - still a wide leg though would work? Perhaps the Tilly and the Buttons Thea trousers? or Named Airi?

It’s 130gsm So quite lightweight

I do like the look of the airi trousers
