This fabric is ideal for dressmaking (dresses, skirts, trousers), light jackets, durable accessories like bags, and home decor items. Its stretch makes it particularly comfortable for garments.
Yes, the stretch and medium weight make it relatively easy to handle for beginners compared to very slippery or stiff fabrics. Pre-washing and paying attention to nap direction are key.
It is recommended to machine wash this fabric at 30 degrees Celsius. Avoid high temperatures during washing and drying.
Yes, the fabric is available to order by the metre and will be cut as one continuous piece regardless of the quantity ordered.
OEKO-TEX certification means the fabric has been tested and verified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances, ensuring it is safe for human health.
Yes, like all corduroy, this fabric has a nap (a directional fuzz). It's important to cut all pattern pieces with the nap running in the same direction for a consistent appearance.
The fabric has a weight of 255 grams per square metre (gsm), classifying it as a medium-weight fabric.
Ensure you are pre-washing the fabric before cutting and adhere strictly to the 30-degree wash instruction. Avoid high heat drying.
Check your needle sharpness and size; try a new universal needle or one specifically for wovens. Ensure your machine is properly threaded.
Iron on the reverse side of the fabric or use a pressing cloth. Ensure your iron setting is not excessively high.
Pay close attention to the direction of the corduroy's nap (the fuzzy ridges) when cutting pattern pieces. All pieces should have the nap running in the same direction, typically downwards.
Preparation:
As this is a woven fabric, pre-washing is highly recommended before cutting and sewing to account for any potential shrinkage. Wash according to the recommended instructions to ensure the fabric's longevity and colorfastness.
Compatibility:
This fabric is compatible with standard sewing machines. For best results, use a universal sewing machine needle, potentially a slightly larger size (e.g., 80/12 or 90/14) depending on your machine and thread. It pairs well with other medium-weight fabrics and notions like zippers, buttons, and interfacings.
