Two-Way Stretch Velour – Green/Turquoise, 3m Pieces (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.

Each piece is cut to 3 metres, giving you a generous length to work with for full outfits or multiple smaller projects.

Sewing & care notes

• 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
