Stretch Suede Fabric (Double-Sided Brushed) Red

Stretch Suede Fabric (Double-Sided Brushed) Red

This suede fabric in Red has a deep, saturated colour that catches the eye in photos thanks to its soft, velvety sheen. The double-sided brushed finish gives the fabric an even, matte appearance without any shiny spots, exactly what you'd expect from suede. You can see from the folds in the fabric how fluidly it drapes, with a beautiful flow that never feels stiff. A fabric that radiates luxury while remaining wonderfully practical to work with.

What makes this suedine so special

This fabric is a knitted suedine made from two layers that combine to create a sturdy, heavy quality. The special feature is the finish: both sides are brushed to the same soft, suede-like feel. While many suedine fabrics have a clear right side and a less attractive wrong side, this one has no such distinction. You're free to choose whichever side you want as your right side, which is incredibly handy when cutting and for double-layer constructions like hems or collars. This quality also saves you fabric, since you don't need to hunt for the "right" side.

Material and properties

The fabric is a blend of polyester and elastane, giving you a lovely 4-way stretch in all directions. Thanks to its heavier weight, the fabric hangs heavily and holds its shape without feeling rigid. The opaque quality and medium breathability make it suitable for garments worn throughout the season. When sewing, use a stretch needle and always test your tension on a scrap first, especially for thicker seams. Wash the fabric on a low temperature and air dry it without a tumble dryer or iron, so the brushed surface stays intact.

Uses and projects

Because of its sturdy quality and warm, autumnal feel, this suede fabric works for many different projects. Think about:

• Jackets and blazers with a luxury suede look
• Skirts with beautiful drape and volume
• Trousers and leggings with stretch comfort
