Corduroy Fetish??
Lndh777
I have to admit -now that I've found out that I am not the only one,
I have a fit for corduroy fabric!! I love everything about it! The
deep rich colors -the nap, OH! And if I can get a beautiful color
thats ALSO in a wide wale??!! I'm in fabric-heaven!
When they came out with the prints (which I have STILL not afforded
myself due to $$) I had a fit!! They are varied and gorgeous! I just
wish that I had some. When I change jobs I plan to get lots of it
and make a dozen or so fall skirts and fitted pants. I would love to
see some posts by or hear in e-mail from (those of you not quite
ready to come out of the corduroy-fetish closet) others who have a
love for the fabric!! The only thing that I don't love about it is
that I (some do -I don't) can't wear it as a year-round fabric. So
during the summer months, I prep for the winter and try to catch
sales on this marvelous fabric!!
Ahhh!

Well, I don't exactly have the corduroy fetish, but did recently make
some pillows from a napped cotton fabric. It's sort of a sheared line-less
corduroy. Velveteen?
The pillows are red. I made 5 of them for the back of my sofa. My hubby
called them the "redcoats".
My REAL fabric passion is for linen of all sorts... I love the way it
smells before it's washed for the first time- it lightly retains the scent
of the grass and the fields.
Linen also washes up very clean and is so absorbent. It looks incredibly
crisp when you iron it.
I like to buy up any linen napkins that I find second hand. Many of these
have never been used. This always surprises me, that someone could just
hang onto these wonderful linen napkins for 20 years, never use them, and
evenually just give them away without using them once.

Don't I know *just* what you mean? One of my favourite things about fall is
pulling out the courduroy jumpers for myself and the girls! (This being
Texas, courduroy is something we just can't get away with in the summer. :)
And I know exactly what you mean about the prints, too...and I couldn't
resist. I did resist enough to ask the DH permission, and even told him
that the fabric I wanted was $14.99/yd, and even though I'd already spent
$100 that morning, didn't he just ask me, "Will the dress you make with it
cost less than buying *the same* dress in a store?" I replied, honestly,
that I could get a courduroy jumper for about $50, but it wouldn't be the
same quality fabric or construction. For what I want to make, I'd have to
spend at least $150, while the fabric to make it would only run $45. He
said, "Then get it." <VBG> So I have five yards of gorgeous red fine-wale
courduroy (unlike you, I prefer the finer wales to the large ones; makes me
feel more delicate, I think :) with delicate pink flowers on it, the
*softest* courduroy I have ever felt, and the colours are bright and
distinct. It's just waiting for me to have time to get to it...considering
my to-do list at the moment, it will probably hit my sewing machine the
first week in December. :) :)

Have you seen the neat quilts made from the *quilt* flannel? Most
of the flannel has a brown cast to it and looks old. I'm dying to win
the lottery so I can buy enough to make a kingsize quilt with this
stuff. The fabric has a nice enough look that 6" squares tied would
make a very nice comforter.

My fabric fetish is velvet! I love it. I wash it ( before sewing) and
make T-shirts and dresses out of it so I can wear it all the time and not
have to worry about dry cleaning. It has to be 100% rayon and it gets a
slightly crushed look to it, but it feels so wonderfully soft and drapey.

I love fine wale corduroy. I had a blouse of it and wore it to death.
At work we have this rayon(?) fine wale corduroy type fabric but it's
double sided so it's soft on both sides. I'm going to have buy a few
yards soon.

My fabric fetish is for a fabric I don't even know the name of !!! It is
the type of fabric that hotel blankets are often made of. Anyone know what
I'm referring to ? Do you know the name of it ?
I'd love to buy some of it and make a pull over.

Karen:
I have a velvet fetish too! Did you know that if you buy that
nasty,stiff, '70's "crushed" velvet that still turns up on sale tables,
you can machine wash it with 2 cups of baking soda and it will come out
soft and drapey!!! (I'm not guaranteeing it'll work every time, but it
has for me). In fact, I've washed all kinds of dressy fabrics. I LOVE
what it does to irridescent taffeta!

would that be 'velux'? sometimes you can get pieces of it at the

If you're talking about the very light, frosted-looking blankets, they are
called "Velux". I believe they are made of some sort of polyester fiber.

i like that vellux too, my mom made seat covers for the car out of it.
i pretty much love any fabric that is a pain to sew with and difficult to
clean and you cant really wear anywhere ;)

Yes!!
Wisconsin may have cold, slush and snow, but our winters are a great excuse
for CORDUROY!! So far I've only finished a short cardigan jacket of olive
wide-wale corduroy, but I have enough left for a matching skirt (that'll be
this weekend!) And after that, I have some of that wonderfully patterned
stuff (with the gold accents) that WANTS TO BE A VEST -- a fitted vest,
with lapels, yes! I'm pretty sure I also have some dark green stuff that
wants to be a jumper.
[You know it's bad when you're not sure what you actually did break down
and buy vs. what you left at the store. On the other hand, when you forget
you bring it home, it's a delightful surprise when you find it in your
"hey, wash me!" pile!]
Stay tuned for my raptures on wool and stretch crushed velvet!

Just a note about corduroy fashions. While at Sew Expo in Puyallup, WA
this year, I saw a woman with a solid colored corduroy jacket. What was
so striking was that she had done Seminole piece work with the solid
colors on the back and down the front. The way the light reflected off it
was very eye catching and such subtle elegant look. I had never thought
of quilting with just one color. Have done some other quilts out of
corduroy though. Thought you might like another stimulating idea

My husband asked what I'd like for my birthday, and I suggested the Bonfit
Pants Patterner. He immediately ordered it for me! Then I mentioned
fabric
- corduroy to make pants with, and he said he'd buy the material also!!!
I love soft fine wale corduroy and would love to have pants for the winter
made
with it. I had thought corduroy was out of style, until reading this
newsgroup.
They are predicting a very cold winter here in the Northeast, and I am
thinking
corduroy, flannel and any other warm materials right now. Will let you
know
how my pants come out.

Diane, I am putting together a collection of corduroy. If you're
interested in mail order, let me know. Swatches can be sent first.
What colors are you looking for?
I also have flannels, including a line of organic and naturally
colored cotton flannels. If you let me know weight, colors,
designs, etc. you're looking for, I'll let you know what's
available.

Corduroy is really happening this year in ready-to-wear. Look in all the
catalogs. I love it too! I even wear it during years that it isn't "the
fashion."
