Description
Corduroy is the autumn fabric among cotton wovens: sturdy, warm and visibly textured. Weight per square metre comes to 320 g/m², width to 155 cm. It is woven from 73 % cotton, 5 % Elastan and 22 % polyester.
In Blue the fabric reads matter-of-fact and calm. For everyday clothing that is the least complicated choice. 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.
What Corduroy in Blue is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- cushions and table linen
- bags and pouches
Sewing tips
- Juna ist Maschenware: mit Jersey- oder Stretchnadel und elastischem Stich oder der Overlock nähen.
- Die Rippen haben eine Strichrichtung. Alle Teile gleich herum zuschneiden, sonst wirken sie unterschiedlich hell.
- Schnitte für Jersey oder Sweat verwenden, die Dehnung reicht für figurnahe Teile.
- Beim Nähen nicht ziehen, ein Obertransportfuß verhindert, dass sich die Lagen verschieben.
- Säume mit Zwillingsnadel oder Coverlock nähen, dann bleiben sie dehnbar.
- Bei 30 Grad waschen, nicht bleichen, nicht in den Trockner und nicht bügeln.

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.
