We're pleased as punch to be able to offer this 13oz waxed cotton – a totally waterproof material made by treating cotton with a mix of waxes, its Tex Wax finish makes it flexible at cold temperatures and resistant to wax transfer while staying waterproof. Crisp and structured, this cotton is ideal for a wide range of workwear and non-garment uses: lined jackets, bags, rain ponchos, hats, dog beds, etc. If it's hard-wearing and needs to be waterproof, odds are our waxed cotton will work for it! Fully opaque, it does not need to be lined; however, you may want to opt for a lining for comfort's sake.

If you haven't used waxed cotton before, it's important to note that it has a few special care requirements. Waxed cotton tends to develop lines and creases as it ages, which makes for a beautiful patina. You may find your yardage arrives with lines formed where it was folded. You can remove these lines with a steamer or hairdryer. You can also use an iron on the lowest setting with steam and a pressing cloth.

Waxed cotton should never be placed in the washing machine or dryer. Any stains should be spot-cleaned with saddle soap or similar. After sewing this cotton, you may want to wipe down the bed of your machine with a damp cloth; using a Teflon foot may make sewing smoother.

Care Instructions

Wash

Never wash your waxed fabric, as this will strip away the coating and eliminate its waterproof qualities. Any stains should be spot-cleaned with saddle soap or similar. Smooth out visible lines with a hairdryer. The warmth will melt the coating just enough to redistribute it across the surface of your fabric. You can iron on a low setting with steam and a press cloth.

Fabric Tips

Additionally, your fabric may require re-waxing seasonally, depending on use. If you notice your finished garment losing its water resistant properties, it’s time to get some refinishing wax.

Waxed canvas:

I’ve made an initial small bag in red and then a backpack (buckthorn noodlehead). I was so impressed with the stability and ease of sewing with waxed canvas. It has a beautiful patina which will grow with time. I’ll make some more things.
