Durable, versatile, and naturally breathable, this 100% cotton duck canvas fabric features a sturdy woven construction that provides excellent structure for garments, bags, accessories, and home décor projects.
With its substantial 10 oz weight and wide selection of solid colours, this heavyweight cotton canvas is an excellent choice for sewing projects that require strength, stability, and a beautifully structured finish.
Cotton duck canvas is known for its dense, sturdy construction and exceptional versatility. Unlike lighter cotton fabrics, this heavyweight canvas offers more body and structure, making it especially suitable for projects that need to maintain their shape.
Its natural cotton fibres provide breathability, while the tightly woven construction makes it a practical choice for everyday garments, accessories, and home projects. Whether you're sewing a structured jacket or a durable tote bag, this fabric offers a balance of functionality and style.
For best results, use a needle designed for heavyweight woven fabrics, such as a denim or jeans needle. Choose a suitable stitch length for the thickness of your project and test your stitching on a fabric scrap before sewing.
When working with multiple layers, grade bulky seam allowances and press carefully for a clean, professional finish.
Because this fabric is made from 100% cotton, pre-washing is recommended to account for potential shrinkage before cutting your pattern pieces.
Machine wash in cold water. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Wash similar colours together.
We recommend pre-washing your fabric using the same method you intend to use for your finished garment.

Please note that stains, holes, or blemishes within 3 inches (10 cm) of the edge are considered acceptable.
