Care Instructions

Wash

Always pretreat fabric before sewing to remove chemical sizing from the manufacturing process. Pre-washing also gives you a better sense of the true drape and handfeel of a fabric. We recommend washing and drying fabric in the same way you intend to wash your finished garment. Be sure to separate brights and colours, as some dyes and prints may run the first few times you wash them. You can add half a cup to one cup of vinegar to the final rinse cycle to help set the colours and minimize bleeding. It’s important to wash and dry cotton to remove any potential shrinkage down the road.

Long-Term Care

Machine wash in warm water and tumble dry on medium or hot.

Fabric Tips

You can use a hot iron when pressing cotton. We recommend starting your project with a brand new needle.

Fabulous Colour

I generally try to avoid sewing with canvas because it can be such a slog. My machine protests the often cardboard like fabric.
But sometimes you need a rugged bottom weight, and this colour (Rosewood) was just the colour to entice be to try.
I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of handling this canvas. It was not a challenge to work with and sew, quite the opposite! I made a pair of jeans and I'm pleased to say that I'm really looking forward to wearing these - a lot!

Spring Jacket Perfect

This mid weight cotton canvas is softly structured and easy to sew. I used a jeans needle and topstitch needle with slightly longer stitch lengths. The Fire Red colour has a blue under tone and is quite vibrant. The off cuts will be perfect for bags and hats.

Not what I expected

I was expecting mid weight to mean a finer weave and not so stiff. The fabric is heavy, course weave and like a heavy denim feel. I did go ahead and make the slim leg Mitchell pants and they look pretty good but I wish the fabric was not so utilitarian.

Good Sturdy Bottom Weight

I bought this fabric to make the Poppy Camp Shorts. This is good sturdy material to use for shorts. Good strong seams, holds a fold well and generally feels like thanks to this fabric my shorts will stand the test of time. Oh and I love the colour too! Win- win.

Good Study Bottom Weight

This fabric is very stiff when it first arrived. Softened considerably after first wash, and farther still with wear.
It is very easy to work with, sews up well, holds a fold nicely.
I am looking forward to enjoying the shorts I made for many years, as I am sure this fabric will stand the test of time!

Not just the gorgeous fabric, but the company, and each of you! The fabric is beautiful, I adore these colors. The right patterns (style arc) are lined up! Now I have to go the journey before I can formulate my thoughts. I have a gift from my daughter- a special journal to document the project with. It's all very energizing! Thx!

Just right

Was looking for an organic mid-weight canvas in just the right shade to make a spring workmen’s coat for my daughter. This fit all the requirements and has worked up beautifully. Finished the seams with Hong Kong bias in a coordinating cotton. Looking for the perfect vintage buttons for the perfect finishing touch.

Perfect and such a rare find…a sturdy canvas that is also sustainable!
