A practical black canvas designed for durable outdoor sewing.

This woven polyester fabric has a PU coating that helps repel moisture while maintaining flexibility and strength. With a weight of around 225gsm it is lighter than heavy outdoor canvas but still robust enough for frequent use.

Black works well for bags, equipment covers, seating covers and other projects where a smart, durable finish is needed.

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.

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.

I needed to make a new bag for a cricket score board (yes, really) and this was the perfect material.
Robust, proofed and doesn't show dirt.
Great stuff!
