Stretch Velvet Fabric 58/60 in Wide 10 Yard - Burgundy

In this review the reviewer looks at the Stretch Velvet Fabric in burgundy to help crafters and small-sewing businesses decide if this textile meets their needs. The bottom line: this 90% polyester, 10% spandex velvet is best for decorative sewing projects and costume work because of its wide 58/60 in usable width and substantial 353 GSM weight; the fabric stretches enough to shape form-fitting items and the rich burgundy color holds well in photos and finished crafts. The review focuses on how the material performs in handling, color, and suitable project types.

Key Features

• Material blend: 90% polyester and 10% spandex gives a soft hand and durable stretch that helps with fitted garments and wrapped craft shapes.
• Width: At 58/60 in wide, the fabric reduces seams on wider projects and is convenient for apparel or large decor pieces.
• Weight: 353 GSM provides a medium-heavy drape that holds shape for pumpkins, pillows, and structured costume elements.
• Stretch velvet: The knit construction allows recovery and flexibility, which benefits form-fitting garments and stretch panels.
• Color payoff: The burgundy hue photographs well and maintains saturation, making it a good choice for social media-ready projects.

Who It's For

This fabric is aimed at hobby sewers, prop makers, and small-batch apparel makers who need a wide, stable velvet with stretch for items like dresses, leggings panels, costumes, decorative pumpkins, or cushion covers. The combination of polyester and spandex makes it straightforward to sew with standard needles and gives consistent results across multiple uses.

Those who should look elsewhere include customers seeking natural fibers, very lightweight chiffons, or specialized upholstery-grade velvets with heavy backing; this product is a synthetic stretch velvet intended for craft, apparel, and decor rather than traditional upholstery restoration.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• As a synthetic blend, it is not a natural fiber and may not suit users wanting all-cotton or linen fabrics.
