How to sew the velvet?

Velvet is a fairly delicate fabric to work (which is far from insurmountable, rest assured).

The first parameter to take into account, regardless of the type of composition of your velvet, is the direction of cut.

You have to cut all the parts of your boss in the same direction (following the right wire of course).

Because the brilliance game of velvet has a meaning and if you do not cut your pieces in the same direction, once the garment or the project sewn, it will be very clearly.

Then, be sure to respect the washing and ironing advice of your fabric.

The easiest velvet to sew at first are cotton velvet and ribbed velvet.
