Burda Style For people who sew
Hi everyone,
I am looking to buy some heavy weight stretch black cotton. I have been using stretch twill / drill but i can’t find it at a reasonable price anymore.
I have found a stretch cotton and it says the weight is 200gsm. Can anyone tell me how heavy this would be is it roughly the same thickness as twill? and would it be any good for pencil skirts?
Any help would be fantastic :)

As twills come in every weight from gossamer fine to luggage fabric, that’s impossible to say. Why not ask for a sample?
