Cotton Knit Velour, aka Nicky Velour, is an extra soft fabric with a nap and texture you can feel. Cuddly, plush and cozy with a light stretch, this material is ideally suited for making stuffed animals and bunting style dolls in which the clothing doubles as the body. Also used for treasure bags, cloaks and clothing for dolls and people. For a pleasing feel be sure to lay out your pattern so the nap lies flat when you brush your hand down the doll from head to toe.

Used in the following Joy's Waldorf Dolls patterns: The clothing/body of Bunting Babies, Bright Eyes Baby and Star Child. The clothing for Baby Jess and Brother/Sister dolls.

Sewing tip: For optimal results, cut velour with sharp fabric scissors which are used only on fabric.

Be careful to not let the seam be too small or the material will get sucked into the bobbin case.
