Microfiber Fabrics

Microfibre fabrics are an innovative, ultra-comfortable textile that is becoming increasingly popular in sewing. Thanks to its very fine, dense fibre structure, it stands out for its incredibly soft feel, high absorption capacity and hypoallergenic properties. Whether for clothing such as sweatshirts, hygiene accessories or even household linen, microfibre is an aesthetic, practical and easy-to-care-for solution.

What are microfibre fabrics?

Microfibre fabrics are made from very fine synthetic fibres, generally a blend of polyester and polyamide. Each thread is up to 100 times finer than a human hair, giving it exceptional softness, remarkable lightness and outstanding durability.

Main features

• Ultra-soft: perfect for creations in direct contact with the skin.
• Hypoallergenic: suitable for sensitive skin or people with allergies.
• Absorbent: ideal for washcloths, towels or flannels.
• Easy to care for: dries quickly, does not wrinkle and retains its texture.
• Lightweight yet warm: retains heat well without being heavy, perfect for loungewear.

Why choose microfibre fabrics for your sewing projects?

Microfibre fabric by the metre, available from Verotex in a wide range of colours (turquoise, light grey, powder pink, beige, etc.), is an ideal option for many creations. Here’s why it deserves a place in your sewing room.

Unparalleled softness for cozy clothing

The “long-pile” texture of certain microfibres provides a very pleasant plush feel, ideal for:

• Comfortable sweatshirts
• Lounge pants
• Lightweight cardigans or jackets
• Cosy pajamas

Hypoallergenic: fabric that is gentle on sensitive skin

Unlike some irritating textiles, microfiber is designed not to cause any skin reaction. This makes it the perfect fabric for:

• Baby clothing
• Clothing for people with allergies
• Facial care accessories

Ultra-absorbent: ideal for toiletry accessories

Thanks to its ability to absorb up to seven times its weight in water, microfiber is perfect for:

• Washable wipes
• Soft washcloths
• Bath towels
• Absorbent hoods or bathrobes

Durable and easy to care for

Microfiber is a fabric that:

• resists wear and friction,
• does not lose its shape in the wash,
• dries quickly,
• and does not require ironing.

This makes it an ideal material for everyday use, both at home and in professional environments (beauty salons, spas, etc.).

How much fabric should you plan for?

This fabric is made from 100% polyester and is sold here by the metre or by the piece. You can use it for bathrobes, pajamas and cuddly toys.

The fabric quantities below come from our fabric quantity guide, for a width of 155 cm.

• Bathrobes: 2.50 m
• Pajamas: 2.50 m to 3.50 m

For example, for a bathrobe, allow 2.50 m and add a little extra if the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched.

In practical terms, a width of 155 cm often allows you to cut two pieces side by side. In practice, there is no need to pre-wash it: our fabrics have already been pre-washed and do not shrink as long as they are washed at 30 degrees.

Tips for sewing microfiber successfully

Although microfiber is easy to work with, here are a few sewing tips for optimal results:

• Use a microtex needle (or a fine universal needle) to avoid pulling on the fibres.
• Choose a slightly longer straight stitch.
• Avoid pins, which leave marks: use fabric clips instead.
• Overlock the edges, as microfiber can fray slightly.
