Scared of the Jersey? Crochet instead!

Ok so if i'm gonna make all my clothes this year i really need to get a handle on jersey, that easy to wear t shirt material.  But i'm scared!  I have no overlocker and no idea how to sew it on a regular machine.  I bought an overlocking foot off ebay that i discovered i didn't need, and then had to order special needles.  They came so quickly i was almost disappointed since i was trying to avoid sewing the thing!  What am i sewing? Well i purchased some beautiful gold and grey jersey and the plan is to make a super drapey kimono with it.
 
Its absolutely gorgeous but i came un stuck  from the get go.  Who knew cutting jersey with fabric scissors was so hard?  Anyway i have a semblance of a kimono cut out.  I have the needles, and the correct foot.  So what to do now?  Ignore it all and crochet!
