Fabric for "Jeggings"
M.S. Intermediate Member since 3/6/09 Posts: 1140	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/5/11 10:30 AM Does anyone know what the fabric is that they use for RTW jeggings? Where can I get it and what % spandex, etc. If anyone has a good pair of RTW ones, could you check the fiber content on the tag? The new Ottobre design issue has jegging patterns for kids & I'd love to make some for my tall, lanky kindergartener.

I expected it to be a knit, but it's a lightweight twill woven. I've seen some denim-look knits at Emma One Sock that I think would make nice jeggings, but I've only seen it on-line so I'm not sure of the weight.

Maybe that would work, too. I'll look at emma, too! Just checked.......Emma One Sock has a few they suggest, with 4-way stretch!

It is As or MORE stretchy than swimwear. It's pink so not what you're looking for. I don't know how you will find this online without a stretch test with your hands. I did a little Google searching with no luck. The denim I use for regular stretch jeans is about 97/3 and would not work for jeggings. ------ Barb "I have not failed.

I would love jeggings to wear under tunics an short dresses but I'm too tall and thick-legged for RTW, they end up stopping a little above my ankle which is, IMO, a hideous look (pasty, stout ankles, how I hate thee) ------ messymethodsewing.wordpress.com

There are still 40 yards available, so ask for a swatch. Please report back to us if you get it! ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
