Description
When cutting velvet, all pieces face the same nap direction, otherwise they read differently in brightness. At 280 g/m² and 145 cm wide the fabric suits the usual paper patterns. It is made from 8 % elastane and 92 % polyester.
With Petrol you get a colour that suits denim and still does not disappear into it. For blouses, dresses and wide trousers drape decides — and that is exactly what this fabric brings. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Velvet in Petrol is suitable for
- wide trousers and skirts
- scarves and wraps
- linings for jackets

Frequently asked questions
May it go in the dryer?
Better not. Viscose shrinks noticeably there, and polyester does not need it since it dries fast anyway. Hung up and pressed slightly damp, both look better.
What do I do with offcuts?
Facings, pocket bags, bindings and hair ties. Fluid goods work well even in narrow strips, as long as the edge is enclosed. For neckerchiefs and hair ties an offcut that would otherwise be scrap is plenty.
How do I finish thin wovens?
Most cleanly with a French seam: the raw edges are enclosed in the seam and nothing shows outside. Alternatively with an overlocker, if the fabric is not too fine.
How do I recognise good drape?
By its behaviour over your hand: a fabric with drape falls into soft folds instead of standing. The softer the drape, the wider the cut may be without looking shapeless.
