Velvet Fabric
Beautiful Velvet Fabric for Dressmaking & Home Sewing
Our velvet fabric is chosen for its rich colour, soft handle and lovely weight, making it a pleasure to sew and wear. Made from 100% cotton, it has a natural feel with just the right amount of structure, perfect for garments that need a little body without feeling stiff.
These velvets work beautifully for jackets, skirts, dresses and waistcoats, as well as accessories like bags and hair pieces. They’re also a favourite for home projects such as cushions, stools, headboards or anywhere you’d like to add depth, texture and a touch of quiet luxury.
Alongside our plain cotton velvet fabric, you’ll find a striking selection of velvet border fabrics designed by Odile Bailloeul. These bold, decorative trims are full of colour and pattern, ideal for hems, cuffs, panels and soft furnishings that call for something a little different. Used sparingly or as a feature, they’re a wonderful way to make a project feel truly one of a kind.
Our velvet fabric collection focuses on deep jewel tones and beautifully balanced shades, chosen to mix and match easily with other fabrics in your stash. Sold by the metre, with occasional remnants available, it’s easy to buy just what you need for your project, whether that’s a small accent or a full garment.
Whether you’re sewing something bold and dramatic or simply adding a hint of texture to a favourite pattern, our velvet fabric collection is here to help you create something special, tactile and full of character.
