Blue Corduroy Fabric: Wale Sizes, Shades and Sewing Ideas
Blue corduroy fabric brings soft texture and lasting color to everything from jackets to throw pillows. Its raised ribs, called wales, catch the light in a way flat weaves can't, so every shade, from deep navy to washed sky blue, looks rich and dimensional.
How to Choose the Right Blue Corduroy
Picking the best corduroy for your project comes down to a few details. Keep these in mind as you shop:
Wale Size
- Pinwale has fine, narrow ribs with a soft drape, ideal for shirts, dresses and kids' clothing.
- Mid wale is a versatile choice for pants, skirts and overshirts.
- Wide wale offers bold texture and body for jackets, bags and upholstery.
Fiber and Stretch
Cotton corduroy feels breathable and classic, while stretch corduroy with added spandex moves with you in fitted pants and leggings.
Shade and Sewing Tips
Navy reads polished and versatile, while light blue feels relaxed and playful. Because corduroy has a nap, cut all pieces in the same direction so the color looks even.
