Types Of Mermaid Fabrics

Are you learning to sew, or are you a budding seamstress? Keep calm, we have got you covered. Before thinking of sewing ideas using mermaid fabrics, it’s important to determine the type of mermaid fabric are you looking for. Why? This is because a regular sewing machine may not be ideal for all fabrics. Instead of getting a fabric that’s not compatible with your sewing machine, it’s better to determine the type of fabric that will work for you. Fabrics like sequin and faux leather may require a specialized sewing machine. So, know your mermaid fabric before cutting and sewing.

We have made three broad categories of the types of mermaid fabric:

Mermaid Scale Fabric

Let’s see, what’s the most distinct part of Mermaids? Their bright, shiny, scaled tails, isn’t it? Mermaid scale fabrics are a textile version of those. Rather than prints or patterns, these fabrics feature shiny mermaid scales. These fabrics are available in bright shades like teal, lavender, blue, pink, etc.

The most common material used for such mermaid fabrics is spandex or faux leather.

Mermaid Sequin Fabric

As the name suggests, this mermaid fabric features multiple plastics or metallic sequins covering a cloth. It’s because of this feature that all sewing machines may not work on this fabric. Mermaid sequin fabrics can be reversible sequin or a single shade sequin.

The base fabric under the sequin is usually tulle or chiffon.

Mermaid Print Fabric

Want 100% mermaid cotton fabric? Look for that in this category.

If you are looking for versatility in your mermaid fabric, this could be your go-to material. The above two fabrics are mostly used for making mermaid tails. This fabric can be used for making apparel, home decor, and other sewing projects too. Rather than scales, such fabrics feature various prints of and suggest mermaids. For instance, there could be a print featuring real-looking mermaids, little mermaid fabric, mermaid scales, and various other ocean elements too.

You can easily find such fabrics in 100% cotton, quilting cotton, polyester, etc.
