Description
Velvet has a dense, short pile that reflects light differently by direction — hence its typical sheen. 140 cm wide, 520 g/m² — figures that tell you how heavily the fabric falls. Material: 100 % polyester.
The tone Blue sits in the cool range. Beside yellow and orange it builds the strongest contrast there is. A fluid woven asks for a fine needle and a short stitch length, so the seam does not pucker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Velvet in Blue is suitable for
- summer dresses
- scarves and wraps
- linings for jackets

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a lining?
On thin, pale goods often yes — otherwise the garment is see-through. A light lining or a slip solves it without destroying the drape. A second piece of the same fabric will do as well, if the colour matches.
How much fabric do I need?
More for draping cuts than for straight ones: a dress with fullness needs the fabric its folds are made of. On repeat prints allow extra waste.
The fabric slips while cutting — what helps?
Lay it flat rather than over a table edge, weigh it down and cut with a rotary cutter. Pins leave holes in fine goods; clips at the edge are the better choice.
How do I wash it?
Cool and gentle. Viscose loses strength when wet and shrinks more readily than cotton. Before cutting, wash it once the way the finished piece will be washed.
