Stretch Velvet Fabric Turquoise by the Yard - 60in Wide, 20 Yards

In this review of the Turquoise stretch velvet, the bottom line is simple: sewists and costume makers who want a soft, drapey, color-true stretch velvet in bulk will find it hard to beat for value. The reviewer found the fabric smooth to the touch, noticeably elastic, and reliable across long runs thanks to the 60in width and continuous 20 yards. For anyone making garments, accessories, or stage pieces who needs consistent color and easy care, this material delivers the primary benefit of comfortable stretch combined with a luxurious feel.

Key Features

• Soft stretch velvet: The plush surface provides a silky hand that sits comfortably against skin and gives garments a refined finish.
• Stretch and recovery: The 10% spandex blend offers enough elasticity for fitted apparel while keeping shape after wear.
• Durable composition: With 90% polyester, the fabric resists pilling and fading, which helps projects look newer for longer.
• Wide 60in width: The generous width reduces seams for wider garments and makes cutting patterns more efficient.
• Continuous 20 yards: Buying in bulk ensures color consistency across multiple pieces and long projects.
• Easy care: Machine wash cold and tumble dry low maintains the texture without extra effort.

Who It's For

This turquoise stretch velvet is best for home sewists, costume designers, and small-batch makers who need a soft, stretchable fabric that drapes well for dresses, leggings, gowns, cosplay, and decorative cushions. The 60in width and 20-yard continuous length suit users making multiple garments or matching sets who want consistent hue and hand across yards.

Those who need very heavy upholstery fabric, flame-retardant performance materials, or natural fibers only should look elsewhere; this fabric is polyester-dominant with a focus on apparel and crafts rather than heavy-duty furniture applications.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Soft, luxurious texture that feels comfortable against skin and photographs well under stage lights.
• Good stretch from the spandex content, making it forgiving for fitted patterns and body-hugging designs.
• Wide 60in panels and 20 yards of continuous fabric reduce joins and ensure color consistency for multi-piece projects.
• Low-maintenance care and durability from the polyester make it practical for repeat use.

Cons

• Thickness opinions vary among customers, so it may not suit projects that require a very heavy or very sheer fabric.
• Being mostly polyester, it lacks the natural fiber feel some sewists prefer.
