I’m trying to find some faux suede that has some stretch to it. I’ve been looking on line but all I can find is microsuede with no stretch.

I haven't bought any in awhile but I have gotten it from Stretch House, Spandex House and Spandex World in the past.

I see that Stretch House has it so I imagine the others do as well (didn't have time to check).

Not sure if the quality or supplier will be the same as what I have purchased in the past but you could always get a sample swatch to see if it's what you're looking for.

I've had good luck with all three of these suppliers in the past but it's been a few years since I ordered from them (probably 2 to 3 years).

Check out 'Faux Suede Stretch Fabric' at Joann's. I have sewn some of it recently, and it is really nice.

I found these contenders during my recent quest for stretch faux suede:

Etsy

Fabricville

Cheap fabrics, like cheap shoes, are a false economy.

I bought some ‘suede’ scuba from Fabric Mart a few months ago. Maybe search for scuba instead of stretch faux suede?

I did just find some nice microsuede from Joann’s. It washed and dried up beautifully. I’m thinking of a pair of high waisted pants.
