@Celia  it is not very stretchy and only one way, luckily widthways so it helps with the fit across my hips 'cos my derrière has spread a bit over the last 18 months 

I am using my favourite McCall's Palmer/Pletsch pattern 6901 but with a centre back zip. I like the pockets and the straight leg style.  When I read Croft Mill's description of the fabric again I saw that it is a woven cotton with some elastine not a knit. It handles well with a small amount of curling at the edges.
I have used this pattern several times and drafted it onto strong paper after a few tries getting the fit right. @Celia what trouser pattern will you use?

Well. I've made a start, the darts are pinned ready to sew and I've made the waist facing. I found a greyish mauve zip and some purple thread. I'll do some more today.

Cut these out today with a little help from my friend. I got him to do most of the pinning and bending over the table and I managed the cutting out. Now to find suitable thread and a zip.

It is finished, I think I will keep it to wear in hospital when I have the other hip done which could be in a couple of months.
The purple jersey with corduroy finish is on the table waiting for a helping hand for pinning on pattern pieces and cutting out so all happening here.

Nothing there for me except V1819 the wavy front dress, just because it's different but it would challenge the accuracy of my seam sewing  .

Thus one is cotton jersey, it is light but warm to wear with a two way stretch, I got it from Minerva, the cut edges curl up a bit but it is nice to work with.
