Description
Canvas is firmly and ruggedly woven. It holds shape and weight, which makes it the bag fabric par excellence. At 140 cm wide its weight per square metre is 225 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton.
Taupe stands warm and deep. In autumn the tone reads more coherent than any cool one. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. It also suits patchwork and quilting: it cuts precisely and does not distort.
What Canvas in Taupe is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- skirts and dresses
- cushions and table linen

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
