Experience the unmatched luxury of our Premium 100% Cotton Velvet Fabric. Unlike cheaper polyester alternatives which can look shiny and plastic, this authentic cotton velvet has a rich, deep colour and a sophisticated matte finish.

Because it is woven from natural plant fibres, this fabric is breathable and soft against the skin, making it the ultimate choice for high-end dressmaking, evening wear, and historical costumes.

Why Choose Cotton Velvet?

100% Natural Fibres: Perfect for those with sensitive skin or for garments that need to breathe.
Rich Colour Depth: Cotton absorbs dye deeper than synthetics, resulting in stunningly intense shades—from Royal Blue to Emerald Green.
Soft & Durable: Features a plush, dense pile that feels incredible to the touch but is durable enough for long-lasting wear.
Beautiful Drape: It has a natural weight and structure, making it perfect for tailored garments.

Ideal Uses

Dressmaking: The 44″ width is perfect for sewing structured jackets, waistcoats, evening gowns, and A-line skirts.
Costume Design: A favourite for historical reenactments, theatre costumes, and capes.
Small Upholstery: Ideal for luxury cushion covers, bolster pillows, and lining jewellery boxes.
Accessories: Create stunning bows, hairbands, and clutches.

Expert Tips for Sewing Velvet

Watch the Nap: Velvet has a “direction.” Run your hand over the fabric; one way feels smooth, the other feels rough. Ensure all your pattern pieces are cut facing the same direction (usually with the nap running down) so the colour looks consistent.
Don’t Crush It: Never iron velvet directly on the face! It will crush the pile and leave permanent marks. Steam it from the back or use a “Velvet Board” / fluffy towel underneath.
Prevent Creeping: Velvet layers love to slide against each other. Use plenty of pins or a Walking Foot on your sewing machine to keep layers even.
