I've always had a quiet admiration for corduroy fabric. There a nostalgic tie to this cloth that has been broken over the years. Back-in-the-day it was easy to find corduroy fabric. A corduroy blazer with patch pockets was once considered a staple in one's wardrobe.
Now it days it seems to be considered a vintage fabric if you were to search the aisles of a fabric store. Even though there seems to be a reimagination of the corduroy blazer.
Although I'm not looking to recreate this iconic piece. I'm thinking about winter wear and would love to sew a pair of corduroy pants. Ah, the memories of childhood, playing in the snow and having the snow brushed off my corduroy pants. But I digress.
Yes, I need a pair of pants. Something to keep me warm this winter. Something that brings cozy and happy memories of winters gone by. Something made in corduroy.
Stay Safe and Happy Sewing!

I cut a pair of cords today. I can't wait to wear them. The fabric is so very soft and I know they will be warm and comfy. Go for it.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been looking for corduroy to sew the pants of my dreams this fall! You brought me a memory: the rip rip rip sound of walking in them. Though my thighs have changed considerably and I have no clue what, if any, sound I would get now.
