A range of plain coloured, 2mm thick neoprene dressmaking fabric
Often referred to as scuba fabric, Neoprene is a synthetic material known for its smooth texture, spongy feel, and ability to hold a structured and sculptural shape. It is a double-knit fabric made from polyester and spandex around a thin flayer of foam.
This fabric has a heavy drape and a good stretch which means it is perfect for figure hugging garments, especially around the bust and waist. It is commonly used for making skater dresses and peplum tops as well as some wedding dresses. It can also be used for many craft projects too such as car seat covers, face masks, camera cases, dog harnesses, back braces, headbands and more.
This red colour would be especially lovely for making a Christmas dress or valentine’s outfit.
When sewing neoprene, there can be a real benefit to using a stretch thread so that the stitching stretches with the fabric. We recommend Gutermann Maraflex.
