Description
Softshell is not ironed and needs no edge finishing — it does not fray. The web measures 145 cm across; its weight comes to 260 g/m². Its composition reads 10 % elastane and 90 % polyester.
Pink sits in the light warm range and suits almost anything placed beside it. Pins leave holes in coated goods that stay. Clips on the seam allowance solve it. Fabric by the metre is cut in one piece; your ordered length arrives as a single cut. If unsure, order a little more — a later order may come from a different batch.
What Softshell in Pink is suitable for
- between-season and rain jackets
- seat pads and covers
- wet bags and wash bags

Frequently asked questions
Can I pin it?
Only in the seam allowance. Coated goods keep every hole, and a seam cannot be unpicked without traces. Clips are the better choice, since they pierce nothing.
The fabric sticks to the presser foot — what helps?
A Teflon foot or a walking foot. Alternatively a strip of tissue paper between foot and fabric, torn away after the seam. A sheet of baking paper under the fabric also helps when no special foot is at hand.
How do I reinforce the seam?
On bags with a flat-felled seam or a second row of topstitching. That not only holds better, it also makes the seam flatter — and flatness is half the battle on thick fabrics.
What do I do with offcuts?
Wet bags, bag bases, rain covers and sit mats. Coated offcuts are too valuable to discard, because they do exactly what ordinary cotton cannot. A piece the size of a postcard already covers a bag base.
