Velvet is a woven fabric with a short, dense pile that gives it a soft touch and a rich, light-catching finish. Deep colours look especially luxurious in velvet.
It is used for eveningwear, party dresses, jackets, scrunchies and accessories, as well as cushions, curtains, headboards and upholstery.
Plain and printed velvet
Plain velvets give a classic, rich look for fashion and home; printed velvets add pattern for statement cushions and garments.
Velvet FAQs
How do I sew velvet?
Cut all pieces with the pile running the same direction, use a walking foot to stop layers slipping and pin within the seam allowance.
Can you iron velvet?
Avoid pressing the pile flat. Steam from the reverse side or use a needle board or a spare piece of velvet face-to-face.
