Double knit fabric use.....

19 years ago

Many yards of double knit fabric was donated to our sewing group and I need suggestions as to what it can be used for since double knit is out of style for clothes.

Thought about making lap throws for those in nursing homes. However, double knit is a little slippery and might not stay on their laps. I am thinking about using t-shirt knit fabric (also donated) for the back.

Would love suggestions for charity type things to make with the double knit.

Our church makes oversized bibs for the nursing homes. They work well because they can be thrown in the washer and dryer and right back to work!! We use the softest of the knits for the neckband and ties.
