The Sewing Bee Effect
The Sewing Bee returns on 14th July 2026. Discover why the show inspires thousands of sewists every year and the fabrics we expect to see more of.
This olive water resistant canvas has a practical outdoorsy feel with a softer more contemporary colour than traditional khaki fabrics. The muted olive shade works brilliantly for garden accessories, utility-style bags and modern outdoor furnishings, giving projects a more understated natural look rather than something overly bright or sporty.
Made from PU coated polyester, this fabric is durable, hardwearing and designed to cope with everyday outdoor use whilst still remaining flexible enough to sew comfortably. At 225gsm it has enough structure for bags, seat pads, windbreaks and covers without becoming stiff or bulky. The lightly textured woven surface adds durability whilst the PU coating helps repel moisture and makes the fabric easy to wipe clean.
This fabric meets OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
Please note: this material is water resistant rather than fully waterproof. It will repel light rain but should not be left exposed to heavy or prolonged weather conditions.
This fabric is available in a number of different shades, click here to see all the colours.
