Description
Corduroy shows its typical lengthwise ribs and so reads velvety — warm to the touch and rugged in use. The fabric comes 155 cm wide and brings 320 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 73 % cotton, 5 % Elastan and 22 % polyester.
Forest Green comes out strongest beside red; that is the complementary contrast, and it always works. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort. A sample answers more questions about handle and drape than any description.
What Corduroy in Forest Green is suitable for
- skirts and dresses
- children's clothing
- curtains and drapes
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.

Frequently asked questions
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
