Deadstock fabric refers to leftover rolls of fabric that were not sold by a mill or were remnants from a brand's production. It's a sustainable way to acquire textiles, saving them from potential landfill or destruction.
No, this is a limited edition fabric. Once the available stock is gone, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to get any more.
This fabric is ideal for garments such as dresses, skirts, loungewear, comfortable tops, and children's clothing due to its stretch and soft velour finish. It can also be used for accessories.
It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent before cutting. This helps to pre-shrink the fabric and prepare it for its final garment.
Yes, but it's best to tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. High heat can damage the velour pile and affect the fabric's stretch.
These fabrics are often sourced from luxury design houses or high-end high street brands, giving you access to designer quality textiles.
By using deadstock fabric, you are helping to reduce textile waste that might otherwise end up in landfill. It's a way to create beautiful items while being mindful of the environment.
Deadstock fabrics can vary slightly. Pre-wash according to recommended care to achieve the intended feel. Always order a swatch if unsure.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size and type for knit fabrics. Adjust stitch length and tension; a slight zig-zag stitch or serger can also help.
After washing or handling, gently brush the fabric with a soft brush or steam it lightly to restore the pile. Avoid pressing directly with a hot iron.
As this is a fabric, setup primarily refers to preparing it for sewing. It is recommended to pre-wash the fabric before cutting to account for any potential shrinkage, especially if it is a natural fiber blend. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Compatibility is broad; this fabric works well with standard sewing machines. For care, hand washing or machine washing on a delicate cycle in cold water is advised. Avoid high heat when drying; tumble dry on low or air dry to maintain the integrity of the velour and stretch. Ironing should be done on a low setting, preferably with a pressing cloth, to protect the pile.
