I’m looking at making a jacket with some waxed cotton I’ve got, and was thinking of doing the collar and cuffs in something like corduroy.
Does anyone have an offcut in a darker brown they’d trade me? I’d rather not buy a half meter for such small parts (I have enough offcuts already 
).
Not in a dark brown I’m afraid - but I do have some khaki green, baby blue or some black
Maybe I’ll have a hunt around for some charity shop trousers which are beyond repair! Thank you anyway Tracy.
Good idea. Keep me posted on the jacket making - would love to see it in progress
I’m using this pattern with some modifications https://jaycotts.co.uk/products/simplicity-8845-denim-jacket-sewing-pattern and hoping to end up with a slightly boxier version of this kind of thing! https://www.reddit.com/r/sewing/comments/p2b6vn/third_project_waxed_cotton_jacket_in_a_trucker/
