A Note About Product/fabric Colours

We photograph almost all of our fabrics and products ourselves and take great care to represent their colours as accurately as possible.

However, colours may appear slightly different in real life due to lighting, photography and variations in individual screen and monitor settings. For this reason, we cannot guarantee an exact colour match.

We kindly ask that you keep this in mind before placing your order. If an exact shade is essential to your project, or you're unsure about a colour shown in our photographs, we recommend contacting us before purchasing.

Please note that slight colour variations between our photographs and the actual product are not considered faults and are not, on their own, grounds for a refund.

More About This Fabric

If you're dreaming of a wonderfully cosy winter make, this gorgeous faux sheepskin fabric from Fibre Mood could be just the thing!

Featuring a beautifully textured, curly surface that recreates the look of traditional sheepskin, this fabric has a soft, plush appearance and a lovely earthy olive green colour. The rich texture adds plenty of character, making it perfect for garments that are both cosy and stylish.

Made from 100% polyester with a knitted construction, this substantial 370gsm fabric is ideal for creating warm jackets, oversized coats and snuggly gilets.

Imagine a gorgeous teddy jacket with oversized pockets, a simple collarless coat or a cosy gilet layered over your favourite knitwear. It would also be fabulous for adding a fluffy collar or cuffs to another sewing project.

The versatile olive shade works beautifully with creams, chocolate browns, denim and other earthy colours.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances.

Care Instructions

As recommended by Fibre Mood:
Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C on a delicate cycle.
Do not bleach.
Do not iron.
Do not dry clean.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Our Tip: We recommend washing and drying a small sample before cutting your fabric to check for shrinkage or changes in the curly texture. Turning garments inside out and using a gentle wash cycle can help protect the soft pile.

This Fabric Is Perfect For...

Teddy jackets, oversized coats, cosy gilets, collarless jackets, warm layering pieces, scarves, fluffy collars, cuffs and winter accessories.

Sewing Notes

Needle: A ballpoint or jersey needle, size 90/14, is a good starting point for this knitted fabric. Test on a scrap first.

Cutting: Use sharp dressmaking scissors or a rotary cutter. Cut in a single layer if the fabric is particularly bulky.

Nap: Check the direction of the curly pile before cutting and keep all pattern pieces running in the same direction.

Stitching: A slightly longer stitch length of approximately 3mm may work well. If the fabric has stretch, test a narrow zigzag or suitable stretch stitch.

Seam Finishing: An overlocker can give a neat finish and help contain loose fibres along the cut edges.

Pressing: Do not iron, as heat and pressure can flatten or damage the lovely curly texture.

Top Tip: Use a blunt needle or a small brush to gently release any fibres caught in the seams after stitching. Keep a vacuum cleaner handy when cutting, as fluffy fabrics can shed fibres along the raw edges!
