Waterproof & Water Resistant Fabrics

This collection brings together waterproof and water resistant fabrics suited to practical sewing, outdoor projects and protective coverings. Options include coated fabrics, waterproof canvas and durable utility cloths chosen for strength, reliability and everyday use.

Common uses include garden furniture covers, outdoor cushions, equipment covers, bags, storage projects and other makes where protection from moisture is useful.

Important Information

Not every fabric in this collection is fully waterproof. Some are water resistant, meaning they will repel light moisture but may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or continuous outdoor conditions.

Please check each product description for details on coatings, water resistance and recommended uses.
