FAQs

What is the best use for this fabric?

This fabric is ideal for dressmaking, particularly for creating dresses, blouses, skirts, and tailored trousers that benefit from a medium weight and a soft, velvety texture.

Is this fabric suitable for beginners?

Yes, the medium weight and stable nature of the fabric make it relatively easy to handle for beginner sewers. Its forgiving texture also helps hide minor stitching imperfections.

How do I care for this organic cotton corduroy?

It is recommended to wash the fabric at 30 degrees Celsius. Air drying is best to maintain its velvety texture and color.

What does 'cut per metre' mean?

'Cut per metre' means the fabric is sold by the length of one meter. If you order a quantity of 3, you will receive a single piece of fabric that is 3 meters long and 160cm wide.

Can this fabric be used for upholstery?

While the fabric is durable, its primary design is for dressmaking. For upholstery, a fabric with higher rub counts and specific treatments might be more suitable. However, it could be used for decorative cushions.

What other colors are available in this fabric line?

Other available colors include Olive, Dune, Fuchsia, and Indigo Night.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are washing at the recommended 30 degrees Celsius and avoid harsh detergents. Gentle tumble drying on a low setting or air drying can help restore softness.

Color seems to fade after washing.

Verify that you are using a color-safe detergent and washing with similar colors. Washing inside out can also help protect the dye.

Difficulty cutting cleanly.

Use a sharp rotary cutter or fabric shears. Ensure the fabric is laid flat and smooth on a cutting mat to prevent shifting.
