A monster with big googly eyes and horns peers out of purple leopard fur — a bag needs no more motif than that. Velvet turns it into something to touch: this fur does not only look like fur, it feels like it too.
This cloth is a velvet, or chenille, in 100 % polyester at 250 g/m², 140 cm wide. Its pile is dense and soft, and in light the shade shifts with your viewing angle — which is why velvet has a nap worth watching as you cut. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees; pressing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols, as either would crush that pile. This panel is sold as a piece, not by the metre.
What Taschenpanel ca. 1m Monsta Lila by Thorsten Berger von Swafing is suitable for
- Children's bags, because this monster reads friendly rather than scary.
- Gym bags, because that motif stays readable from afar.
- Pairings with the French terry in this range, because those colours match.
Frequently asked questions
What should I watch with velvet?
Velvet has a nap: one way it reads darker, the other lighter. Lay every pattern piece facing the same way, or front and back will differ noticeably in your finished piece.
How do I sew velvet without it shifting?
That pile lets layers travel against each other. Tack or pin closely, use a walking foot, sew slowly. Working across the nap tends to make it worse rather than better.
Can I press velvet?
No, its care symbols rule that out — and it would be a shame anyway: heat with pressure crushes the pile, leaving a visible mark. Use steam from a distance instead, never setting your iron down.
How do I cut a panel correctly?
Lay out every pattern piece first and shift them until your motif sits exactly where you want it. Only then cut — a panel exists once, and there is no second attempt.
