Ice Fabrics Stretch Velvet Fabric by the Yard - Baby Pink 60in

In this review of Ice Fabrics stretch velvet fabric, the bottom line is simple: sewists and costumers who want a soft, drapey, and slightly elastic velvet for garments or decor will find a lot to like. The fabric balances a plush hand with reliable stretch and easy care, making it an attractive choice for dresses, leggings, costumes, and home accents. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a smooth velvet surface and 10% spandex that keeps items comfortable and flattering in wear.

Key Features

• Soft stretch velvet: The surface feels smooth and luxurious against skin, lending garments a polished, comfortable finish.
• Stretch blend: The 90% polyester and 10% spandex composition provides noticeable elasticity for better fit and movement in fitted designs.
• Wide width: At 60in wide, the fabric reduces seams and is convenient for garments and larger projects like drapes or full skirts.
• Durability: The polyester-rich weave resists pilling and fading, keeping finished pieces looking newer for longer.
• Easy care: This velvet is wrinkle resistant and machine washable on cold, then tumble dry low for low-maintenance upkeep.
• Continuous yard lengths: Available in 1 to 50 yard cuts delivered in continuous lengths, useful for pattern matching and larger sewing projects.

Who It's For

This fabric is well suited to home sewers making apparel such as dresses, tops, leggings, and stage costumes that need a soft hand and stretch for comfort. It is also good for accessory makers and crafters who want a plush look without the care fuss of delicate velvets.

It is less suitable for those seeking heavy upholstery-weight velvet or natural fiber fabrics; this is a polyester-spandex blend intended for wearable and light decorative uses rather than heavy-duty furniture upholstery or high-heat industrial applications.
