This is a casual soft cotton canvas from India in a rich orange/red and a chalky matt finish. This fabric is not pre washed, always pre wash your fabric to get rid of any shrinkage (see below). The fabric will soften after being washed.
We’ve called this a soft canvas as although it has a canvas appearance it isn’t ideal for garments that need lots of structure. If you choose to make something like the Ottoline or Foreman it will be a lightweight jacket, more of a ‘shacket’. Same with trousers, we would pick something like the 101’s that have a some gathers over the Eve’s which are more suited to structured cloth. This cloth would also make a great All State or Arbor shirt, or something like the Cawley or Etta dress. You could also use it for bag linings or cushion covers. The image of the jacket is a pattern hack we did for our Foreman jacket, click resources to read about this. Sandra is wearing the Pegs, our new trouser pattern.
