Corduroy is a beautiful rich looking fabric which has a real quality look to it. Corduroy is such a versatile fabric as it can be made into all sorts of garments including jackets, skirts, trousers and also can be used in crafts too! As the country look is bang on trend at the moment and with the colder weather on its way it is the perfect time to start thinking of ideas! It looks especially effective when teamed up with a tweed looking fabric which you can find in our Winter Fabric section to really create a country, rustic look! Also teamed up with our vast choice of Dress Linings in various colours, you can really create a beautiful garment!
Our Corduroy is 150cm wide and made from 100% cotton. There are two choices currently in the range- the '8 Whale Pin Corduroy' is fantastic value for money and is heavier in weight. It has 8 'rows' per inch and can be made into all sorts of different garments. Many people also make them into craft ideas such as cushion covers and even bags as it is quite a substantial fabric!
If you are looking for a top quality Corduroy, look no further than the '20 Whale Pin Corduroy' , it is beautifully soft to the touch and looks amazing when made up. This fabric is 150 cm wide and is a perfect dressmaking fabric.
