Our Jersey is 350gsm which is considered a medium weight knit fabric. It is 90% spun polyester and 10% spandex. While this base is considered a medium weight knit, it would work for a number of patterns that call for light weight knit fabrics. Read your pattern first or join the pattern Facebook group and ask if the pattern would work for a medium weight jersey. All patterns are different, so make sure you understand what you are working with before jumping in.
Stretch Twill... Stretch WHAT?
Stretch Twill just means there is spandex/elastane added to the fabric to give it a little stretch.
