Description
Canvas takes wear other cottons cannot — which is why it sits on bags, aprons and cushions. The fabric comes 140 cm wide and brings 200 g/m² to the scale. Its composition reads 85 % cotton and 15 % polyester.
Black/Natural is undemanding in daily use and still reads deep after many washes, as long as washing stays gentle. As a plain colour the fabric partners patterned combinations — it steps back and keeps the surface quiet. The fabric does not stretch. That makes it precise to cut and forgiving to sew, but the pattern has to allow for movement.
What Canvas Uni Schwarz/Natur is suitable for
- blouses and shirts
- patchwork and quilting
- children's clothing
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pre-wash?
Yes. Cotton shrinks, by varying amounts depending on the finish. Wash the fabric the way you will wash the finished piece, press it, and only then cut.
How much fabric do I need?
That depends on the pattern, the fabric width and the print. Large motifs demand waste, since pieces have to be placed to match. On repeat prints allow half a metre more.
Does it suit patchwork?
Yes, woven cotton is the standard material for it. It cuts precisely, does not distort while sewing and presses flat — three qualities that matter in patchwork.
Does it suit children's clothes?
For shirts, skirts, dresses and trousers yes. For t-shirts and anything close-fitting a knit is the better choice, because it moves — a woven does not.
