Solid Drapery/Upholstery Soft Velvet Fabric Color Black by The Yard

Item arrived on time and is good quality

for a custom santa suit -

I ordered this fabric to recover an antique oval back French parlor sofa and matching chairs. I honestly didn’t want to buy this fabric, but I went everywhere and looked everywhere I could possibly think of until I was at my wits end. I couldn’t find any ivory velvety fabric I wanted or that I could afford. I finally decided to take a chance on this because I didn’t know what else to do and the upholsterer was waiting. The bolt arrived a week early and I was scared to even open it. I was so afraid of being disappointed again. Once I finally opened it, I was in shock. After all I went through... I can’t even begin to say how much I love this fabric. It’s exactly what I wanted all along and in wish I had bought it in the first place. It’s a beautiful ivory/off white (not white and not yellow-ish) and it’s so soft. It looks and feels like the same fabric I was seeing for $40-$70 per yard at a fraction of the price. It’s thick enough to use for the furniture, but thin enough to make decorative pillows and drapes. There is a slight stretch and my upholsterer said that’s a good thing. I highly recommend this product and if you’re feeling uncertain, you can just order order a swatch. You won’t be disappointed!

This material is very soft and pleasant to touch but I used it to make cushion covers and I was told it's very hard to work with on a sewing machine. Beautiful results though.

Was pleasantly surprised by the plush quality and beautiful icy blue tone. Made a DIY headboard with it. Very nice quality and price.

It was as nice as if I had picked it out in person. Very pleased.

I’m so happy with my purchase. I love the color and the quality. The fabric is stretchy but not too stretchy which is what I wanted. It’s also nice and thick. I used it to reupholster an antique fainting couch. I will purchase again soon for another project I have.

This is a lightweight fuzzy fabric with a knitted backing. Velvet is a woven fabric with loops that form a pile. True upholstery velvet is a heavyweight woven fabric. This product is NOT suitable for upholstery. It might be ok for curtains or throw pillows, but it lacks the stability necessary for use in cushions for couches and chairs. BTW, the mauve fabric pictured looks like a lavender color. It's an ugly tan. Very disappointed that I wasted my $$ on this fabric. Will send it back, then have to wait to get my money refunded.
