Sewing with stretch velvet can be a tricky process as the stretch composition of the fabric and the nap can make the fabric shift or slip around when being handled or sewn. Fear not, Jo is on hand to share her recommendations for how to sew with our new Minerva Exclusive stretch crushed velvet, including how to cut your pattern pieces factoring in with nap and stretch. As well as how to cut, pin and sew velvet successfully to create a neat well-fitting garment.

Thank you very much for this extremely informative video etc. It's been at least 20 years since I have sewn on velvet. Needless to say, your tips reminded me of what I need to do in order to make a really nice garment.

Excellent video - Lots of helpful tips. I have never sewn with any stretch type fabric and will watch the other videos you recommended However, I usually do a high round back adjustment and a forward shoulder adjustment on bodice patterns. Would these adjustments be necessary when using Minerva crushed velvet or would the stretchiness provide the extra room I need to give a better fit?

I would probably still recommend making these same adjustments if you usually need them, but a knit stretch fabric like this does definitely give you more ease of movement on fit

Can you tell me why my seams line up when I pin, but one layer always becomes longer after sewing?

This could be a feed dog issue in which on side is being passed through at a different rate to the other. A walking foot would really help this issue 😊
