Crushed Velvet Nusle Joggers

I've had the idea to make a pair of velvet joggers for a bit. I needed the right fabric for them. When I saw the Tranquil Moment crushed velvet at Minerva, I knew it was the perfect choice. 

The photos of this print really do not show the colors well. The background if a lovely dark plum and the print has a beautiful light green and taupe. 

The velvet has a very light crushed texture. I took care to ensure all my pieces were cut with the nap going in the same direction. 

The velvet has 60% horizontal stretch and very little vertical stretch. It met the requirements for the Itch to Stitch Nusle Joggers. These joggers have a great fit and are easy to make. I also made a tee with an oatmeal colored french terry to pair with my joggers. These will be nice to wear into fall.
