Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric do I need for sweatpants?

French terry or fleece-back jersey in a medium weight. You will also need ribbing for the waistband and cuffs.

Do I need a serger?

A serger makes knit construction faster, but a sewing machine with a stretch stitch or zigzag works fine.
