GBSB Ep7 Inspiration: Stitching for the Dancefloor
From liquid satin and denim to metallic jersey, sequins and velvet, discover our fabric inspiration from Sewing Bee Music Week.
This mid to heavy weight stretch velour fabric in a silvery-smokey-grey colour looks different from every angle as it shimmers under the light, perfect for dressmaking!
160cm wide, this quality cloth is very soft and has a good amount of stretch (made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane). It stretches around 70% in one direction and 30% in the other.
Our knitted velvet velour is wonderful for eveningwear and dancewear because it looks very luxurious, it has a fabulous drape and does not crease. It is very comfortable to wear because it stretches.
It can also be used for soft furnishing, curtains and bedspreads and displays. It is not flame retardant.
*Due to the excess dye used in this cloth we recommend washing before use
Hand Cleaning: Wipe velour with a damp cleaning cloth, adding a little mild laundry detergent to the fabric if necessary. For larger items such as curtains or bedspreads, run the hose of your vacuum cleaner over the velour.
Machine Washing: Wash velour on a cold water cycle using a mild laundry detergent. Once washed, hang dry the velour or tumble dry on a low heat setting.
