- Versatile: Whether you’re sewing a DIY stick pony mane, a wild-looking stuffed animal, or a cozy blanket, Shaggy fabric has you covered!

Let’s be honest… SHAGGY has a wild side
Yes, our SHAGGY plush is fabulous, but like any diva, it comes with a few quirks.
- It sheds like crazy: Your sewing space may look like you’ve hosted a petting zoo. Don’t worry! A quick vacuum, a trusty lint roller or 10 minutes in your dryer with a damp cloth will work wonders! We’ve got great tips to keep shedding under control while cutting and sewing shaggy fabrics.
- It shifts while sewing: Its super-soft texture can make it slide around under your machine. But we’ve got tricks for that too – like using clips or pins, basting, or switching to a walking foot to keep everything steady. Find all our tips for pinning and sewing faux fur and shaggy fabrics here.
While our Shaggy fabric might not be the easiest to sew, it’s also incredibly forgiving. If your seams aren’t perfectly straight or an arm ends up slightly crooked, don’t worry – Shaggy has your back! The long, fluffy fibers hide sewing mistakes beautifully, so your finished project will still look amazing. It’s one of the reasons we love working with it. It makes every creation look soft, professional, and full of character, no matter what happens under the needle.
So SHAGGY might test your patience with it’s ultra fine fibers ending in places like your cup of coffee or a little shifting under the sewing machine, but once you see the results – like a cute, fluffy monster that begs to be hugged – you’ll know it was totally worth it!
