Description
Corduroy is the autumn fabric among cotton wovens: sturdy, warm and visibly textured. At 145 cm wide its weight per square metre is 280 g/m². It is woven from 78 % cotton, 5 % elastane and 17 % polyester.
Copper stands warm and clear without demanding the attention a pure red does. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Corduroy in Copper is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- children's clothing
- curtains and drapes
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
