If you love to make your own clothing and accessories, crushed synthetic velvet fabric will take your sewing experience to a new level. Available in stunning colors, crushed velvet exudes a natural shimmer that makes it great for holiday wear and special occasion clothing. Whether you are making a dress or a scarf, crushed velvet fabric will not disappoint.

Formal wear

When it comes to special occasions, it can be hard to find a fabric more suitable than crushed velvet. It is not uncommon to see crushed velvet show up at weddings in bridesmaid dresses or mother of the bride dresses. Crushed velvet drapes beautifully and is a great choice for both knee-length and ankle-length formal gowns.

Semi-formal wear

If you want to sew something appropriate to wear for a cocktail party or other semi-formal event, look no further than crushed synthetic velvet fabric. Choose a vibrant color, such as hot pink, royal blue, or deep purple, and stitch up a cute above-the-knee dress to wear to your next cocktail party. For something fast and easy, stitch up a skirt and top with a dressy white blouse to create a pleasing color contrast with your skirt.

Casual wear

If you want something easy to care for and comfortable enough to wear to the office or around the house, crushed velvet has you covered. Make a short-sleeved t-shirt to pair with capris or a long-sleeved button-down shirt to wear with a pair of casual jeans and wait for the compliments to come. For chilly days, stitch up a long cardigan in crushed velvet to keep you warm and stylish.

Fashion accessories

Create a collection of scarves in various crushed velvet colors to match anything in your wardrobe. Not only will you look like a fashionista, but you will stay warm when cooler weather arrives. Crushed velvet fabric is also a great choice for making small clutches, purses, or totes to keep your essential items safe when shopping or traveling.

Crushed velvet hair accessories are simple and fun to make and are perfect for when you need a small gift to give someone special. Stitch up hair scrunchies in narrow and wide widths to dress up any outfit for work or play.

Imagine walking into a holiday party wearing a beautiful, crushed velvet dress or wearing a sweater adorned with a crushed velvet scarf. You are sure to garner lots of attention from your friends and family. Crushed velvet fabrics are a must-have item for both experienced and novice seamstresses.
