    Have you ever seen corduroy that is checked? like, it has wales that run in both directions. That might make things easier. I've even seen corduroy that had an almost tartan like appearance. It was all one color, but had different sized wales in a repeating pattern in both directions.

    regardless, this is looking pretty darn cool already F-H.C.A.G.

    Maybe I'll find the checked corduroy next time-it sounds pretty interesting!

    Where was I? Oh, yeah, I've joined the lengths of fabric, so I've now got about 135 inches of fabric.



    With some fairly good seams



    But, there is a little bit of a "lump" where the seams are, so I'll iron them out flat



    Here's the end product



    It looks so good, I'm not sure it will matter if I'm not able to hide the seams inside a pleat! Also, I could not tell if there was any difference between the naps, whether sewn one way or the other, despite what the clerk at the store said. Hopefully, I won't finish the whole darn thing and find out I was wrong!

    Now, I have a vodka martini and a salmon and basil omelet waiting...must go!

    Be well,
