Checkout our latest fabric drops this weeks…
At Melanated Fabrics, we’re thrilled to announce our latest fabric drops that are set to elevate your fashion game to new heights! This week, we’re unveiling the timeless and sophisticated textures of corduroy and velvet. These two luxurious fabrics are available now for our online shopper or visiting our Atlanta, Ga., store.
Corduroy is perfect for both casual and formal wear, and exudes a classic charm that never goes out of style. This is an ideal fabric for creating cozy fall jackets, chic A-line skirts, or trendy wide-leg pants to stay on-trend throughout the colder months. The versatility of corduroy allows you to experiment with different garment styles, from tailored blazers to playful jumpsuits. When sewing with corduroy, consider using a universal needle and a walking foot to navigate through the fabric’s ridges smoothly.
On the other hand, velvet, with its luxurious and plush feel, adds an air of sophistication to any outfit. Whether you’re creating an evening gown, a stylish blazer, or even accessories like clutches and headbands, velvet is a great fabric choice for those projects. Sewing with velvet requires a bit of finesse due to its pile and delicate nature. Opt for a sharp needle and use pins sparingly to avoid leaving visible holes. Consider using a walking foot to ensure smooth stitching and minimize fabric distortion. Velvet garments are perfect for special occasions, and with Melanated Fabrics’ extensive color palette, you can express your unique style with every project.
