Faux Fur Fabric

Popular Faux Fur Fabrics

Our faux fur fabric UK range is made to inspire crafters, makers, hobbyists, and designers alike. Each fabric is chosen for its luxury feel and excellent durability. Here are some favourites that stand out for their unique qualities:

Plain Faux Fur

A dependable option for many sewing projects, plain faux fur offers a soft, realistic finish that mimics natural fur. It’s suitable for:

• Garments like vests or winter jackets
  
  

• Soft furnishings, including throws and cushions
  
  

• DIY toys and accessories
  
  

Its smooth surface and mid-weight pile make it beginner-friendly while still offering the plushness seasoned crafters love.

Minky Faux Fur

This velvety-soft fabric is cherished for its gentle feel and subtle shimmer. Minky faux fur is especially popular for:

• Baby blankets and nursery items
  
  

• Stuffed animals and sensory toys
  
  

• Snuggly loungewear and robes
  
  

Despite its softness, minky holds up well with frequent handling, making it a durable option for everyday use.

Novelty Print Faux Fur

Bold and distinctive, novelty print faux fur is where you can really have fun with your creations. Choose this style for:

• Costumes and cosplay
  
  

• Themed décor pieces
  
  

• Statement jackets or linings
  
  

From animal prints to bright colours, novelty furs let your personality shine through your projects.

Suede Bonded Faux Fur

Combining two distinct textures, suede bonded faux fur has a soft pile on one side and a sturdy suede-like backing on the other. It’s particularly useful for:

• Upholstery projects that require structure
  
  

• Outerwear with a defined shape
  
  

• Heavy-duty cushions or furniture covers
  
  

The dual-layer finish adds warmth and structure.

Inspiration & Craft Ideas with Faux Fur Fabric

Faux fur doesn’t just look good, it transforms the feel of your finished project. Whether you want to add subtle texture or make a dramatic statement, these fabrics allow you to play with weight and warmth in your design. Here’s how our customers love to use it:

Cozy Home Décor

Faux fur brings depth and comfort to interiors. It’s an easy way to elevate everyday pieces and add visual softness to a room. Try it for:

• Plush cushion covers with character
  
  

• Draped throws or bed runners
  
  

• DIY faux fur rugs for layered texture
  
  

Long pile furs can give a room that high-end, chalet-inspired look, while shorter pile options help maintain a more streamlined style. Whether you're refreshing a corner or reimagining a space, faux fur adds instant cosiness.

Outerwear & Accessories

Faux fur remains a timeless choice for outerwear. From classic fur coats and gilets to subtle trims on hoods or collars, its versatility means you can create pieces that suit every season. Smaller cuts are also ideal for accessories. Ideal uses include:

• Full-length coats and cropped jackets
  
  

• Faux fur-trimmed parkas, gilets, or hoods
  
  

• Accessories such as scarves, cuffs, and bags
  
  

Pairing with waterproof or stretch fabrics ensures your handmade outerwear is functional as well as fashionable. Faux fur accessories also make thoughtful handmade gifts during the colder months.

Plush Toys & Crafts

Faux fur is a favourite for soft toy makers thanks to its gentle texture and adaptability. Shorter pile styles are easier to manage and result in neat, soft finishes for:

• Cuddly toys and plush animals
  
  

• Character hats and costume pieces
  
  

• Fun crafting kits for kids
  
  

Novelty faux furs add playful colour and pattern for more character-led projects.

Upholstery & Furniture Projects

Give furniture a tactile upgrade with high-quality faux fur. Durable and plush, these fabrics make eye-catching upholstery choices, especially when bonded with suede or a strong backing. Use for:

• Accent chairs and occasional seating
  
  

• Cushioned benches or window seats
  
  

• Custom headboards and decorative panels
  
  

Not only does faux fur fabric bring softness, but it also introduces warmth and richness to any furniture piece. Samples are ideal to help you check compatibility with existing interiors.

Not sure which fabric suits your project? Order samples to compare texture, colour, and pile length before buying by the metre.

Choosing the Right Faux Fur Fabric

The texture, pile, and structure of faux fur vary widely; selecting the best option comes down to understanding your project’s specific requirements. Here’s how to decide:

• Purpose: For upholstery or structured projects, look for heavier options with backing (like suede bonded faux fur). Minky or plain faux fur suits softer items such as clothing and toys.
  
  

• Pile Length: A longer pile gives a luxurious, fluffy look, but can be harder to sew for beginners. Short pile offers a smoother finish and is easier to manage.
  
  

• Weight & Feel: Lightweight furs drape well and are great for garments. Heavier styles work better for structured décor or winter coats.
  
  

• Design Aesthetic: Choose from neutral tones for classic looks or printed/coloured faux furs to create something more vibrant and expressive.
  
  

• Test First: Order samples to compare pile depth, softness, and flexibility before you commit. Samples allow you to check compatibility with other fabrics in your stash.
  
  

Taking the time to select the right faux fur fabric ensures your final piece performs beautifully and stands the test of time, both in wear and visual appeal.
