Geez tulip, 1952 Singer..beats my 1983 Kenmore which my mother selected after I graduated from university. No, she wasn't sending me the wrong message. I sewed alot of my business work clothing during the lst few years.

Would think that a polyester fabric not too stretchy would be fine for sewing. Not sure it you could simulate a serge stitch or a fabric sewn edge that would not rub /irriate skin much when moving around alot. But a jersey not skin tight, should be fine.

Unless it's a warehouse sale, I can't afford the local-made sporting wear brands that we have ie. Sugoi (just less than 2 kms. away) or Arc'teryx (a 24 kms. bike ride in North Vancouver) But they don't normally sell direct. Taiga is ok but I would have to check where actually made.

Sadly another local-based firm, Climate Zone seems to be folding up since we bought some great stuff on a close-out sale a few weeks ago.
