yes i got cotton jersey too, from a discount fabric shop. it is slightly stretchy. i bought 4 metres and it was so wide i just cut it straight up the middle and got two HABs out of it. Loved them and wore them all the time! The only thing I'll do differently if I use it again is to trim the ends down a bit so they don't have the full width of the fabric - the knot at the back was quite bulky. This style of wrap is fantastic - enjoy!
