Description
Canvas takes wear other cottons cannot — which is why it sits on bags, aprons and cushions. At 132 cm wide its weight per square metre is 225 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Blue/Ecru reads deep or fresh depending on the fabric. On smooth wovens differently than on soft jersey. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Canvas in Blue/Ecru is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- cushions and table linen

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
