Fabrics such as corduroy or velvet are napped. The color will look different when turned in different directions. You have to be able to lay all pattern pieces going the same direction or your garment will look as though it were made of different fabrics.

Because napped fabric can only be cut in one direction, that is, the pattern pieces look different when viewed from another direction, it must be treated like any one-way fabric.
Extra fabric needs to be allowed to take this into consideration. Your sewing pattern fabric guide will always tell you how much fabric to allow for napped and one-way fabrics.
