Panne Velvet Velour Fabric by the Yard - Soft, Stretchable

In this review the Sedona Designz 100% Panne Velvet Velour fabric is evaluated for sewists, costume makers, and home decorators who want a plush, workable material with a bit of give. The bottom line: this fabric is best for projects that need a soft hand and a slight mechanical stretch without the heaviness of traditional velvet. Our review finds it particularly useful for garments, drapery, and accent pieces because of its smooth drape, 58/60 in width, and straightforward care instructions.

Key Features

• 100% polyester construction: Provides a durable, easy-care surface that keeps a soft texture after repeated washing.
• Generous 58/60 in width: Allows wide goods such as curtains, table covers, and larger garment panels to be cut with fewer seams.
• Medium-weight drape: Offers enough body for structured tops and lightweight enough flow for dresses and loungewear.
• Subtle mechanical stretch: Gives added comfort and ease for form-fitting costumes and apparel without requiring knit patterns.
• Machine washable care: Cold wash and tumble dry low maintenance makes it practical for everyday items and seasonal decor.
• Multiple length options: Available from 1 to 50 yards, with multiple yards sent as one continuous piece for large projects.

Who It's For

This fabric suits hobby sewists, costume designers, and small upholstery projects where a velvety look with moderate weight is desired. The wide 58/60 in width and continuous yard options make it a practical choice for curtains, stage draping, and large costume pieces where seams are best minimized.

Those who need heavy upholstery velvet or a high-heat, natural fiber like cotton or wool should look elsewhere, as this is a polyester panne velour with a softer, lighter profile. If exact color matching is critical, order a sample first, since customer feedback shows occasional variance in shade.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very soft, luxurious hand that reads expensive while remaining affordable.
• Wide 58/60 in width reduces seams on large projects and simplifies cutting layouts.
• Easy to sew and care for, with a smooth drape that adapts to apparel and decor.
• Mechanical stretch adds comfort for fitted designs without needing complex pattern adjustments.

Cons

• Color accuracy can vary between batches, so expect some inconsistency without a pre-order sample.
• Medium-weight means it is not ideal for heavy-duty upholstery where thicker, denser velvet is required.
