Waxed Cotton Canvas - Midnight Blue
($42.00 per meter)
Made from 100% cotton with a waxed finish, this fabric is structured, durable, and hard-wearing. This medium weight waxed canvas is water resistant and breathable, making it ideal for outerwear and bag projects. The waxed finish will soften and age beautifully over time developing distinctive cracks and a natural lived-in patina.
Please note there will be creases or 'craze marks' in the wax due to the shipping process. These are not permanent; refer to our Resource Article for Sewing Tips & Care Instructions for your waxed canvas
We suggest using thicker Jeans/Denim needles when sewing with waxed cotton canvas.

Do not dry clean. Do not machine wash. Do not tumble dry. These processes will strip the wax finish. To clean, start by brushing off dirt with a soft brush. If washing is needed, hand wash with cold water using a cloth or soft brush. For stubborn spots or stains, use a mild bar soap or flake soap sparingly. Test the soap you plan to use, as many stronger detergents will break down the wax.
You can clear up crease marks by using a heat blowing gun, hair dryer, or iron at medium heat (with a protective paper layer between the fabric and the iron). You can also re-wax your fabric by using a fabric safe paraffin wax.
Note: we recommend that you pre-wash / pre-treat your fabric in the manner you intend to wash your finished garment.
