Halloween Fabrics

Shop Halloween Fabric by Print

Choosing the right print is one of the best parts of Halloween sewing, and our Halloween fabric includes all the favourites. You’ll find skulls, skull-and-crossbones, spiders, cobwebs, friendly and spooky pumpkins, rattling skeletons, swooping bats, and cackling witches. There are subtle tonal prints as well as bold, scary all-over designs. Most of our fabrics are easy-care polycotton or cotton, so they’re simple to sew into costumes, bunting, or decorations. Whether you want something cute for kids or something truly creepy for an adult party, you’ll find it here.

Which Halloween Fabric is Best for Your Project?

The right Halloween fabric depends on what you are making, so it’s easier to shop based on what you want to make than just looking for a specific fabric.

If you’re making costumes or fancy dress, stretch fabrics like our Halloween jersey hold their shape in close-fitting outfits; velvet is perfect for capes and witch robes, satin and lame add shine and drama, and Halloween netting fabric, also known as tulle, builds out tutus, skirts, and layered petticoats.

For decorations, bunting and table covers, lightweight Halloween cotton fabric and polycotton prints are easy to cut/sew and hold their colour right through the season.

If you’re working on patchwork or quilting, our cotton prints and fat quarter bundles are perfect for spooky quilts, cushions, and smaller projects.

For Halloween dress fabric, those same soft cottons, polycottons, and jerseys are great choices for themed dresses, skirts, and tops.

 

Tips for Sewing Halloween Fabric

Working with Halloween fabrics can be straightforward once you choose the right tools and sewing methods for the material. Before cutting, it is always best to pre-wash your chosen fabric to remove any surface finishes and help stabilise the fibres. This ensures that you get a consistent fit once your project is complete.

Lightweight materials like chiffon, georgette, or tulle benefit from fine needles and small stitches to prevent snagging. For stretch fabrics such as jersey, use a ballpoint needle and stretch stitch to keep seams flexible. When handling metallic or lame fabrics, press gently on the reverse side and use tissue paper underneath to prevent slipping.

If you are sewing velvet or satin, work slowly and use clips rather than pins to avoid leaving marks in the fabric pile or sheen. Finishing edges with zigzag stitching or an overlocker will also help improve durability, especially for pieces that will be reused in future years.

Halloween Fabric FAQs

What fabric is best for a Halloween costume?

The best fabric depends on your costume. If you want comfort and easy sewing, 100% cotton or polycotton work well for most outfits. Choose jersey for stretchy or close-fitting costumes. Velvet is great for capes and robes. For full skirts, petticoats, or fairy and witch layers, try tulle or netting. Satin and lame are perfect if you want to add some shine and drama.

Is polycotton good for Halloween costumes and decorations?

Yes, polycotton is a good choice. It is durable, affordable, and easy to sew. It keeps printed colours bright and washes well, so it is a reliable option for costumes, bunting, table covers, and decorations you want to use again next year.

Can I buy Halloween fabric by the metre or in fat quarters?

You can buy fabric either by the metre, cut fresh from the roll, or in fat quarter bundles. Fat quarters are great for patchwork, quilting, and smaller Halloween projects.
