Description
Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. The fabric is 145 cm wide and weighs 300 g/m². It is made from 100 % polyester.
Dusty Pink is a soft tone with a clear direction. On pale ground it reads delicate, on dark surprisingly distinct. Its maritime motif suits anything meant to look of summer and water. To sew waterproof you have to seal the seams too; the needle makes holes the fabric cannot close. Before cutting, a look at the care symbols on the article pays off.
What Softshell Maritime in Dusty Pink is suitable for
- seat pads and covers
- wet bags and wash bags
- dog coats

Frequently asked questions
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
