I just had a moment to skim the latest issue of Threads. There's an artcile about making clothing with double-cloth--not double sided cloth, but 2 plies of cloth soehow bonded or stitched together. From the introduction I read, it sounded like it is sold on the bolt, already as double-cloth, usually in wool. Has anyone seen this stuff in "person"? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.

We have it in our fabricland store. You can get it in the blue/black or red/black plaid on outside and a sheepskin fur lining on the inside, or you can get a suede type fabric outside and a berber lining inside, or a leather outside and berber inside, or a denim outside and berber inside. There's actually quite a few types our store carries.

I have seen it then sewn with it too  although what I used was fleece on both sides, but was called double fleece. And yes was 2 pieces bounded together. It made a beautiful little coat for #3 dd, but made the fabric really thick to work with when sewing. I've seen other types too, not a huge selection where I live but some off and on.

I've seen it and played with it a little. It would be a pain to sew with because you kind of have to snip the layers apart for seams. What I saw was a fine wool -- really two fine wools -- and a bit heavy for me to wear except as a jacket maybe and then it might be hard to get in and out of easily because the wool wouldn't slide like lining does. It was a lovely fabric but not very practical to my mind. Dorothy. |

| I sewed a long wool coat that is plaid on one side and plain on the other. I always wondered how it was manufactured. I found the article very interesting, as well as many they publish. I lined my coat, so peeling it apart and all that wasn’t necessary. It would have been nice to use the coordinating solid blue on the outside with the plaid, although I added a suede collar and pockets. Seems to me you would almost always line wool, though. |
