Deadstock coated waxed cotton canvas fabric was sourced from a high end British designer known for their water repellant coats and other apparel. This cotton fabric has a plain teal green cotton backing and is covered in a waxed coating on the right side that results in a water repellant surface in the same colour. Due to this waxed coating the fabric does leave creased marks. These marks can be resolved by either heating the fabric gently with a hairdryer, but we think these marks give the fabric a unique traditional look. The fabric is not sticky or tacky. These high end fabrics are ideal for sewing yourself a coat or a bag, patterns such as, the Foreman jacket by Merchant and Mills or Le Sac Banane by Atelier Brunette or you could sew an apron or a backpack.

* As the fabric is deadstock it means that we don't always know the fabric composition, but we do perform burn tests on the fabric.
We sell our dressmaking fabrics in half metre increments.
We do our best to get accurate images of all of our fabrics, but due to varying monitor screens colours may differ slightly to the original fabric. If you are unsure about the colour, weight or scale of the fabric you can order a swatch of the fabric.
