Bought some velvet from Joann's a while ago with the intention of sewing a pillowcase for a couch cushion with it. It's not upholstery fabric, it was just cheap and matched the couch color. Have since changed my mind about its use because a) I have other cushions doing the job now and b) Joann's wouldn't ship it to me unless I bought a minimum of two yards and what would I do with the rest of the fabric after that.

As of looking at the info on this particular fabric today, add in reason c) it is in fact stretch velvet, being 5% Spandex fiber.

It's this stuff. I'm debating doing yet another cowl neck top with it since I already have the pattern pieces cut and I'm pretty sure I can do the 3/4 length sleeve top on 2 yards of velvet, although I'll have to lay out the fabric and then the pattern pieces to be certain since this would be the first time I'd be working with a napped fabric.
