Fabric Details
I have graciously been giving the opportunity to sew with this wonderful fabric that I can’t say enough about……Ok, I bet your wondering about this AWESOME wine colored Corduroy already from “Fabric Wholesale Direct”? Well I’m here to tell you all about it!
This wine-colored 9-wale fabric from Fabric Wholesale Direct is a luxurious, richly hued corduroy perfect for fall and winter projects. The “9-wale” refers to the width of the cord ridges, meaning it has a medium-sized wale—soft to the touch but with a distinct texture that adds depth and character. This fabric’s deep wine color evokes warmth and richness, ideal for creating cozy garments like jackets, pants, overalls, or skirts. Its durability and softness make it versatile for both structured and casual pieces, while the velvety texture provides a hint of elegance, making it a seasonal favorite for stylish, layered looks. And the COLOR options, WOW! So many colors to choose from! AND Fabric Wholesale Direct has such great pricing for such luxury fabrics! So what are you waiting for? Lets sew all the fall things!
XOXO,
Leah
