Corduroy Fabric – Perfect for Fall & Winter Sewing Leave a comment
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Corduroy Fabric for winter sewing is just the perfect addition to your sewing projects.
Corduroy is a winter & Fall staple for lovely coats & jackets, pants, ties, skirts & dresses and more.
It can be cotton corduroy or polyester – the look remains the same. Striped lines create that unmistakable look of Fall / Winter.
This is a fabric that’s great at keeping you warm, while making sure you look good too.
A nice, durable, usually heavy fabric, corduroy comes in different wales, which refer to the thickness of the lines in the fabric.
A 21 wale corduroy would have fine and thinner weave lines, which would be woven closer to each other. This makes the fabric drape more, and hence be more suitable for dresses, skirts, stoles, scarves and anything that needs the fabric to be flowy.
An 8 wale corduroy, conversely, would have thicker individual weave lines. That means more gap between each successive weave line, and hence, the fabric would look thicker, would drape less. This would make it more suitable for menswear like pants & trousers, thicker coats & jackets, caps & hats, and even for upholstery.
In addition to the usual corduroy, the corduroy fabric at FabricOnlineStore.Com comes with a twist – a patchwork corduroy. Patchwork corduroy is made by sewing together several squares of corduroy fabrics together, to make one patchwork fabric. See it here[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
