Barcelonetta Stretch Velvet is a 60" wide, 10% spandex black velvet fabric sold in a 2-yard cut, offering a soft, glossy surface with reliable stretch for apparel, upholstery, and crafts.

This premium stretch velvet from Barcelonetta blends a plush hand with built-in elasticity to make sewing and draping easier while keeping a refined appearance. At 60 inches wide and a 10% spandex content, the textile balances recovery and comfort—suitable for fitted garments, stage costumes, decorative accents, and light upholstery. The deep black colour gives a rich backdrop that photographs well and coordinates with many trims and linings.

How does this stretch velvet perform for clothing projects?

The fabric's 10% spandex delivers noticeable stretch and bounce-back, so garments retain shape after wear. Its smooth pile and soft hand create elegant drape for dresses, skirts, leggings, and fitted tops, while the 60" width reduces seams for wider patterns.

• 10% spandex for four-way stretch and good recovery
• Wide 60" roll lets you cut long panels from a single piece
• Soft pile and sheen ideal for eveningwear and costumes
• Machine-sewable with standard stretch needles and settings

Can I use this velvet for home décor and upholstery?

Yes—this stretch velvet works well for light upholstery, throw pillows, drapery, and decorative slipcovers. For heavy-use furniture, pair it with a suitable backing or lining; for accent pieces, the fabric offers a luxurious look and comfortable touch.

• Great for pillows, curtains, table runners, and headboards
• Use interfacing or lining for extra durability where needed
• Clean with spot treatments; test hidden area first
• Wide width reduces visible seams on larger projects

What are the sewing and care tips for best results?

Sew with a ballpoint or stretch needle, use a stretch stitch or narrow zigzag, and stabilise hems with stay tape if edges stretch. To preserve the pile and sheen, turn garments inside out before washing and air-dry or tumble-dry low.

• Recommended needles: stretch/ballpoint 70–90 depending on weight
• Stitching: stretch stitch or narrow zigzag for seam flexibility
• Washing: gentle cycle, cold water; lay flat or hang to dry
• Pressing: low heat with cloth between iron and pile to avoid crushing

How much fabric do I get and what are typical uses for two yards?

This listing supplies two yards of fabric at a full 60" width—ample for many small-to-medium projects. Two yards suits a fitted dress bodice and skirt accents, several throw pillow covers, a pair of leggings, costume pieces, or panel curtains when combined with lining.

• Two yards x 60" wide equals broad coverage with fewer seams
• Ideal for single garments, multiple accessories, or home accents
• Order extra for pattern repeats, nap direction, or matching seams
• Contact for yardage adjustments if you need longer cuts

Who is this for? Barcelonetta Stretch Velvet is made for sewists, designers, and crafters who want a luxurious-looking fabric that behaves predictably. Choose it if you create eveningwear, theater costumes, fitted apparel, decorative pillows, or lightweight upholstery and prefer a wide-width material that reduces seam work.
