Satin Fabric

Satin Fabric by the Metre for Clothing and Interior

Satin fabric is known for its smooth surface and characteristic sheen, and our range covers the versions you actually need for a project: light dress satin, sturdier interior qualities and a classic black polyester satin that works for almost anything. Everything is sold by the metre, so you order exactly the length you need, whether that's a metre for a cushion cover or a full roll for a workshop. The glossy front and matte back give designers room to play with contrast, and the fabric drapes well without becoming slippery to sew. Below you'll find the different qualities we carry and what each one is best suited for.

Polyester Satin, an Affordable Option with a Luxurious Look

Our polyester satin is 100% polyester, 150 cm wide and weighs 120 grams per square metre, light enough to flow but with enough body to hold its shape. It comes in more than 25 colours, including a black polyester satin that's a steady seller for evening wear. The surface has that typical glossy finish satin is known for, while staying smooth to the touch and easy to iron. It's a practical alternative to silk satin when you want the same visual effect without the price tag or the fuss of natural fibres.

What You Can Make With It

• Flowing dresses and evening gowns that catch the light
• Festive tops, skirts and other occasion wear
• Glossy cushion covers for a quick interior refresh
• Curtains and draperies with a subtle sheen
• Table covers and runners for special occasions

If you're looking for something with more texture or weight for upholstery-style projects, Panne Velvet Fabric or Burlington Fabrics are worth comparing, both sit in a similar interior price range but behave very differently on a sewing machine.

Ordering by the Metre or by the Roll

You order satin fabric per metre, so short runs for a single dress or a set of cushions are no problem. For larger projects we sell rolls of 50 metres, and wholesale pricing kicks in from 6 metres, useful for shops, stylists or anyone sewing in bulk. Both private customers and businesses order from the same range, there's no separate business-only catalogue to navigate. A fabric sample costs 0.50 euro if you want to check colour and drape before committing to a full order.

Combining Satin with Other Fabrics

Satin rarely stands alone in a finished piece. A lining in Cotton Unbleached Fabric keeps costs down on the inside of a garment, while Poplin Cotton Fabric works well for a contrasting collar or facing where you want a matte, crisp texture next to the shine. For heavier home textile projects, Canvas Fabric Cotton or Terry Fabric give you the sturdiness satin lacks on its own. Mixing textures like this is standard practice in both fashion and interior work, and it's one of the easiest ways to make a project look intentional rather than accidental.
