Two-Way Stretch Velour – Green/Turquoise, (157cm)

These 3 metre pieces are a gorgeous two-way stretch velour in a rich green–turquoise shade. The pile catches the light beautifully, so the colour shifts between deeper and lighter tones as you move the fabric or brush the nap in different directions – it’s meant to do that, and it gives a really striking, almost magical effect.

The fabric has a soft, plush surface on the right side and a smooth knit backing on the reverse. It stretches across the width (two-way stretch) for comfort and movement, while still having enough body to hold shape.

This makes it perfect for garments and costumes that need drama and flexibility: dancewear, stage outfits, party dresses, tops, skirts, leggings, capes, loungewear and children’s dress-up.

Sewing & care notes

Cut all pattern pieces in the same nap direction so the colour looks consistent

Use a stretch or ballpoint needle and a zigzag or stretch stitch

You may find a walking foot helpful to stop the layers shifting

Turn inside out to wash

Cool gentle wash, no tumble dry if possible

Low heat iron on the reverse side only, avoiding direct heat on the pile
