Large, open roses in purple and pink lie close together on a beige ground, with dark leaves and stems between them. Those blooms are painted, not photographed — you can see brushstrokes in the petals.
On velvet the whole thing gains depth: the pile catches light, so those purple tones read richer than they would on a smooth weave.
This is a dense velvet in 100 % polyester at 300 g/m², weighty, soft in the pile and lightly lustrous. At 140 cm wide. Wash at 30 degrees, skip your iron, keep it out of your tumble dryer — either would crush the pile flat.
What Samt Pixelart Rosen Lila/Rosa auf Beige by Cherry Picking von Swafing is suitable for
- Cushion covers, because heavy velvet falls well and lasts.
- Curtains and decoration, because 300 g/m² brings weight.
- Jackets and blazers, because a floral shows to advantage there.

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 in your finished piece.
How should I wash this?
At 30 degrees, inside out, no bleach, no tumble dryer. That keeps your print crisp and the surface smooth. Hang your garment in shape to dry, so it needs hardly any smoothing afterwards.
Which needle, which stitch?
A jersey needle and a stretch stitch will do; an overlocker is nice but never required. Sew without pulling your fabric, or seams will ripple once the garment lies flat again.
Can I iron this fabric?
No, it takes no direct heat. Use steam from a distance, or hang your garment in a damp bathroom. If you must press, work from the back only with a cloth in between.
