Redwood Cotton Bedford Corduroy Fabric
part of the Canvas & Corduroy Fabrics collection
This Redwood Cotton Bedford Corduroy is a sturdy 100% cotton dressmaking fabric with subtle lengthwise ridges and a smooth, easy-to-work-with surface.
Redwood is a rich, earthy red-brown shade that works beautifully for practical handmade pieces. The subtle texture of the Bedford cord weave adds interest without overwhelming the colour, making it a versatile choice for structured garments and accessories.
This 100% cotton Bedford corduroy has a substantial 355gsm weight, giving it plenty of body and durability for jackets, bags and other hard-wearing projects.
The weave has faint lengthwise ridges, which are much less pronounced than those found on traditional corduroy. One of the useful differences is that this fabric doesn't have a directional nap, so you don't need to worry about cutting all your pattern pieces in the same direction.
Lauren used this fabric in a different colourway for her Noodlehead Making Backpack - see the gallery for pictures!
