Velveteen is a great fabric. For example, Shu velveteen fabric means that it is a high-quality home decoration fabric.

However, as always, with great fabrics comes great responsibility. Consider the following tips when sewing and caring for cotton velveteen.

Velveteen is very similar to velvet as it is also a fabric with the pile. The plush, brushed finish has the classic luxurious look of velvet.

As with all 100% cotton fabrics, you should prewash your cotton velveteen to avoid shrinkage.

Proceed to the next step of making the velveteen garment. When you're ready to cut your fabric, you need to take into account that all swatches need to run in the same direction. A pile of velveteen will cause any piece cut in a different direction to appear to be a different color when cut. This is why some patterns have different yardage requirements for piled fabrics. Fabrics with piles are "one-way" and usually require a little extra yardage. To find the correct direction for the velveteen, run your hand down the length of the fabric. The right direction will feel silky soft, but the wrong direction won't feel as smooth. Of course, there are always exceptions. Some people choose to place their pattern on the "wrong" texture in order to get a certain color for their project. The important thing is to get them all heading in the same direction. Also, velveteen is prone to pin marks, so it's important to use thin, sharp pins during cutting and sewing.

When you're done with your velveteen creation, it's important to store it by hanging rather than folding it. Likewise, any creases in the velveteen can become permanent marks in the pile. Velveteen is truly an amazing fabric. Sometimes, the care of fleece fabrics can put people off sewing with them, but when you see the velveteen work, you can be sure the results will be worth the extra effort.
