confession


I have something to confess.
I know that you might see me in a totally different light. 
It's a hard one to admit.
Ok deep breath.

I like corduroy.
I love the way it has nap and its mix of sheen and dull depth.
I particularly love velvety English corduroys but I also love practical pinwale cords too.
And I love brown corduroy. Chocolate-y, mole-y, mouse-y brown corduroy.

I've said it (well, written it). 
And I've made something out of it. 
Corduroy smocks, a variation on the Harvest smock, simple with pockets and soon to be in green and blue and black.
