Price per half metre • Organic Cotton Corduroy • 155cm wide • 255gsm
From Danish brand Mind the MAKER, this 8 Wale Corduroy Fabric in Umber is a beautifully soft organic cotton corduroy in a rich, warm brown. The pronounced 8-wale rib and velvety surface give the fabric wonderful depth and texture, while the earthy Umber colour creates a timeless neutral that works effortlessly across an autumn and winter handmade wardrobe.
Made from GOTS-certified organic cotton with 2% elastane, this medium-weight corduroy combines gentle structure with a relaxed drape and a touch of stretch for added comfort. Substantial without feeling overly rigid, it is a versatile choice for everything from trousers and skirts to jackets and simple dresses.
This fabric forms part of our curated collection of dressmaking fabrics available to buy online in the UK at The Draper’s Daughter.

Relaxed trousers and jeans-style garments
-

This fabric works beautifully for patterns such as the The Assembly Line Almost Long Trousers or the Merchant & Paynter Jacket, where its soft structure, texture and touch of stretch work particularly well.
