Do you love wearing jersey, but dread sewing with it? Sewing with knit fabric is another fab string to add to your dressmaking bow! Overcome your fears and make yourself a t-shirt to prove it. We walk you through how to sew with knit fabrics using a regular sewing machine, the challenges that may arise, and how to overcome these.
