GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
Rugged and timeless, this light tan waxed cotton canvas is built for durability and style. At 155cm wide and made from 100% cotton, it has a classic canvas weight and texture, enhanced with a wax finish that adds water resistance while allowing the fabric to age beautifully over time. As it softens and develops natural creases, it gains a unique patina, making every piece one of a kind. Perfect for jackets, coats, bags, and utility projects where strength and character matter.
***Due to the nature of this fabric we are unable to provide refunds on any returned wax cotton. Therefore we recommend you purchase either a sample where possible or half a metre quantities to ensure you are completely happy with your fabric.
