Hi Everyone! I hope you enjoyed our discussion all about sewing with corduroy fabrics. We had a good time discussing things! I also hope you've had time to watch Donna's video about all the different types of corduroy fabric available to us! If not, be sure to go back and check it out!
In this next video, we're building on that information with a look at using the direction of the wale in creative ways!
First I'll kick things off with a look at a classic design, the Janes Shoe Pattern, that's designed with the use of stripes or corduroy in mind. The direction on the grain of the pattern pieces uses the stripe of the fabric to define the design detail fo the shoe! Easy peasy, jsut follow the pattern, pick your fabric and create some adorable shoes that are highlighted by the use of corduroy!
Next, we visit Shari in her studio to see how she's shifted the grain lines on the pattern pieces of her Mary Brooks Cloche Hat to add more dimension and design emphasis to the piece!
Then we wrap it ip with a look at a project from Donna using two different widths of wale in a fun pattern modification for the Art Deco Bags pattern.
Here's a link to the three patterns featured:
Are you feeling inspired? Now it's your turn! Grab some corduroy fabric and make something fun & interesting for your doll collection!

I just left the same question on facebook. It looks like a shortened version of the Art Deco Dress pattern. It complements the Prima Bells so well!
