Corduroy is the autumn fabric among cotton wovens: sturdy, warm and visibly textured. The fabric is 155 cm wide and weighs 320 g/m². It is made from 73 % cotton, 5 % Elastan and 22 % polyester.
Light Grey is the most neutral colour there is: it changes nothing beside it and therefore suits everything. A universal needle and a straight stitch are all it takes — woven cotton needs no more. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
