Washed Cotton Jumbo Corduroy - Mustard Seed

There are few colours that say autumn quite so convincingly as Mustard Seed. Warm and earthy with plenty of personality, it's a natural fit for the cosier side of your handmade wardrobe.

The 100% cotton washed jumbo corduroy has chunky 4.5-wale ribs that give you that satisfying cord texture, while its 283gsm mid-heavy weight gives finished garments plenty of substance. It's particularly well suited to trousers, jackets and pinafores, but still has enough drape for relaxed silhouettes. The washed finish is the real treat: it gives the cotton a soft, inviting handle and gently worn-in character, making it easy and enjoyable to sew with from the start. It's also breathable, comfortable to wear and naturally durable.

Try wide-leg trousers with a chunky knit, or make a statement chore jacket you'll reach for all autumn and winter.

Sewing tips: use a slightly longer stitch length so your machine glides over the ribs, press from the wrong side or with a cloth to protect the pile, and take extra care to match ribs on seams if desired.
