Elegant Velvet

Buying the Right Velvet Fabric
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Velvet fabric can be used for many purposes. People buy bolts of fabric to make shirts, jackets, and skirts. Sewing with velvet fabric is easy because the fabric is light weight and easy to stitch. Many people buy patterns that are placed onto the fabric with either pins or traced onto the fabric using a white pencil. The outline will be used later on for sewing different pieces together. Making clothing is a skill that many people not longer have the time to participate in. For those who work in the theater, making clothing is a way to save money.

Velvet fabric can also be used to recover furniture. Buying an old piece of furniture and recovering it will bring new life to the piece. Recovering the furniture is simple. Buy enough of this fabric to cover the entire piece of furniture. Drape it over the piece and then tuck and fold the fabric into the crevices. Use a glue gun or a stapler to keep the fabric in place. This fabric should last a long time and will add color and sophistication to any room. The fabric is plush and comfortable to sit in for a long time. There are different thicknesses that can be purchased that will fit any chair or couch. The thicker the fabric, them more comfortable it will be. Recovering furniture is an inexpensive way to make the furniture attractive again. A person can also recover furniture they already own. This can add dimension to any room without having to spend much money. For those on a budget, look into recovering furniture.

Another purpose for velvet fabric is to make stuffed animals. These animals can be given as presents to one’s children, or can be sold. Buy an animal pattern that can be cut and sewn together. The velvet fabric is then stuffed. Adding eyes and other features will make the animal appealing to children everywhere.
