No-Fray No-Stretch Fabrics

Ultrasuede Light®

The ultimate faux-suede! Very easy to sew. It does NOT fray and is sueded on both sides. This is the light-weight Ultrasuede. Perfect for paw pads, clothes, and accessories for the smallest bears!

Ultrasuede Soft®

This is the medium-weight Ultrasuede. It is just a little thicker than the Light, but still very suitable for miniatures. It does NOT fray and is sueded on both sides. Many colors have a slightly darker shade on the back, so you get 2 colors! Perfect for paw pads, clothes, and accessories and even those really tiny bears!

Short Pile Rayon

A 1/32" rayon pile on a tight woven back that does NOT fray. Very soft with a matte finish. Original factory colors. Excellent for paw pads, clothes, accessories and VERY tiny bears!

Europa Suede

Similar to Short Pile Rayon, but fuzzy on both sides! It does NOT fray or stretch. Perfect for tongues, tiny ears, paw pads, clothes and accessories. Especially great when you need a very tiny part but don't want to sew 2 pieces together. Very clean raw edge when cut. Original factory colors.

Vintage Rayon (Viscose)

The very desirable and rare vintage rayon/viscose velvet that is no longer made. This fabric has a 1/16" pile on a very tightly woven backing that does NOT fray. Some are original factory colors, but most are hand-dyed by me. Some have a matte finish, some have a light shine. Makes wonderful tiny bears!

Medium Pile Cashmere

This is not real Cashmere, but it does have that buttery-soft feel with a very dense pile. Beautiful matte finish. 1/16" pile on a woven/grid backing that does NOT fray. Nearly all of them are original factory colors. This is one of my favorites that I have used for years!

All of these colors have been hand-dyed by me. I use new upholstery velvet in pure white. The pile is a little longer than 1/16". This fabric has a beautiful shiny "sparkle" and a woven/grid backing that does NOT fray. Very easy to sew and turn.

Smokey Long Pile

I had this fabric made especially for my shop. It has a medium density, 1/8" pile that lays down in one direction. The white grid backing does NOT fray and is thinner than vintage long pile, so it is easier to work with. It has white fur on a black background that gives it a very "smokey" appearance. The finish is nearly matte with a subtle sheen. It is very soft! All colors have been hand-dyed.

Sassy Long Pile

This custom-order fabric was a year in the making. It has a fairly dense 1/8" pile with a matte finish. The white grid backing does NOT fray and is thinner than vintage long pile, so it is easier to work with. Original color is slightly off-white, all colors have been hand-dyed. This fabric is so soft, you won't want to cut it up!

Frosted Long Pile

Made from the Sassy Long Pile fabric, I have come up with a new dye technique that only colors the backing. The fur stays white for a pretty 'frosted' look.

Sassy Cashmere

Another custom order fabric that was 6 months in the making! This one has that super-soft cashmere type 'fur' with a matte finish. The pile is 1/8" (3mm) and it has the grid back that does NOT fray or stretch.

See Opal in Bear Gallery!

I have small quantity of this fabric now but am hoping to have more made soon.

Long Pile Rayon (Viscose)

Beautiful, silky rayon/viscose pile on a tightly woven cotton backing. Some have a matte finish, some have a shiny finish. All are original factory colors. This fabric does fray and you might want to use a fray blocker on little bears. The results are worth the extra time!

Long Pile Cashmere

Extra-Long Pile Cashmere

This fabric is so soft it just has to be called "Cashmere"! It has a dense 1/8" (long) or 1/4" (extra-long) pile with a matte finish. The thin, flexible backing is very tightly knit and does NOT fray. It is easy to sew and turn even the tiniest bears. There is a little stretch (width-wise only). Your bears may come out a little fatter if you stuff firmly. Magic Fabric Fixer or fusible interfacing will take care of that. All are original factory colors. 100% polyester.

Micro Plush

Micro Plush Extra-Long

Micro Plush Pre-Lined

This is the softest fabric I have ever felt! It is simply beautiful and has a very fuzzy-plush look. It has a dense 1/8" or 1/4" (extra-long) pile with a matte finish. All are original factory colors. The backing is very tightly knit and does NOT fray. There is some stretch (width-wise only). Magic Fabric Fixer or fusible interfacing works very well on this! A few are already pre-lined with very little stretch!! 100% polyester.

Poly Plush

All these fabrics are 100% polyester with the tight knit backing that does NOT fray. There is some stretch (width-wise only), but Magic Fabric Fixer or fusible interfacing will fix that!
