Stretch Velvet Fabric Petrol Green

Stretch Velvet Fabric Petrol Green

This stretch velvet comes in a rich petrol green shade that shifts subtly under light, from deep teal in the shadows to a brighter jade where the fabric catches the light. The pile is dense and even, giving that classic velvet swirl a smooth, almost liquid look. It has a soft matte finish rather than a high shine, which makes the colour feel deep and grown up rather than flashy. Run your hand over it and you immediately notice the stretch, this is not a stiff decorative velvet but a fabric made to move with the body.

What kind of fabric is this?

This is a stretch velvet fabric made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane. The elastane content gives the fabric a comfortable four way stretch, so it moves with you instead of pulling or restricting. At 240 grams per square metre it has enough body to drape well without feeling heavy, and the 150 cm width means you get good use out of every metre on larger projects like dresses or curtain panels. The polyester base keeps the colour looking saturated and helps the fabric resist creasing during wear.

What can you make with this fabric?

The combination of stretch, weight and that soft velvet finish makes this petrol green fabric suitable for a wide range of projects, both in fashion and interior sewing.

• Evening gowns and fitted dresses
• Bodysuits and dancewear
• Blazers and structured jackets with a bit of stretch
• Decorative cushion covers
• Theatre and stage costumes
• Statement skirts
• Loungewear sets
• Upholstery for small furniture pieces
