Crushed Velvet Fabric | 59″ Wide | Dressmaking & Soft Furnishings

Price range: £0.00 through £49.49 Price Including Tax

Create statement garments and eye-catching home accessories with our stunning Crushed Velvet Fabric. Made from 100% durable polyester, this fabric undergoes a special mechanical pressing process to give it that signature “crushed” texture. This highly reflective pile catches the light beautifully from every angle, delivering a luxury, high-shine look at an affordable price.

Weighing 175 GSM, this is a fantastic lightweight-to-medium velvet that features a fluid drape. It is woven to a generous 59-inch (approx. 150cm) width, ensuring you get excellent value and plenty of material for larger dressmaking patterns or seamless backdrops.

Expert Sewing Tips for Crushed Velvet

  1. Mind the Nap: Like all velvets, crushed velvet has a directional pile (nap). It will look lighter from one direction and darker from another. Ensure you cut all your pattern pieces facing the same way!

  2. Pin Generously: The synthetic pile can be slightly slippery when sewing two right sides together. Use plenty of sewing clips or fine silk pins to keep your seams perfectly aligned.

  3. No Direct Ironing: Never press an iron directly onto the face of crushed velvet, as it will flatten the beautiful texture. Steam it from the back, or use a velvet needle board if pressing seams open.
