Description
Canvas is firmly and ruggedly woven. It holds shape and weight, which makes it the bag fabric par excellence. The fabric is 145 cm wide and weighs 230 g/m². It is made from 100 % cotton.
Light Blue is the colour found most often in a wardrobe — and therefore the easiest to combine. Wovens fray at the cut edge — so finishing belongs to every seam, whether by zigzag or overlocker. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut.
What Canvas in Light Blue is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- children's clothing
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
Why does the fabric fray at the edge?
Because a woven is made of crossed threads that loosen at a cut edge. That is normal. Finish with zigzag, an overlocker or an enclosed seam — otherwise the edge unravels further with every wash.
What do I watch for when cutting?
The grain. Pattern pieces are aligned parallel to the selvedge, otherwise the finished piece distorts. On patterned goods the motif direction comes on top. The grain line appears on the pattern piece as an arrow; it runs parallel to the selvedge.
How do I press it?
At the usual cotton temperature and slightly damp. Before cutting it pays off especially: a smoothly pressed fabric cuts precisely, a creased one does not.
What do I do with offcuts?
Keep them, especially patterned ones. In patchwork the small cut is the rule, and narrow strips still serve for pocket bags, appliqué or binding. Narrow strips make bias binding, wider offcuts become pocket bags.
