Very nice, hard wearing fabric. It's ideal for upholstery and heavier curtains. It prints well and has a nice diagonal weave to which adds lovely texture.

Great texture and colours Beautiful vibrant print with a luxurious thick matte texture. Unfortunately, it is too thick for my project so I will be trying other velvet materials from MAAKE next.
Make A Meter
With our Make A Metre option, you can upload multiple designs onto a single piece of fabric, either a fat quarter, a linear metre, or a sample. You can split the canvas into rows and columns, place different images in each section, and scale them to your preference. It’s the easiest way to test patterns, explore colourways, and see how your artwork translates across different sizes and fabrics, all while being eco-friendly
and flexible.
