~Sew Happy to be back~Today we are talking about how to work with waterproof canvas! This versatile fabric is great for outdoor projects such as pillows, bags, or even raincoats! In this video we are talking about how to prep this fabric, how to sew the fabric, and any finishing techniques that come to mind. My biggest tip for working with waterproof fabric is do not use an iron! That will melt the fabric!! Was this video helpful to you? If so, let me know and I can do more guides for fabric!

Thank you for this! I am about to work with waterproof canvas for the first time (to make a purse) and really don't know where to start, so this is helpful.

I’m glad! It’s definitely an interesting material to work with. I hope your purse turns out great! 😊

hi, i would like to make a waterproof jacket by myself but i don’t know how. I mean, should i put the waterproof fabric on outside or inside? I’m asking because i want two layers, one is the waterproof fabric and one is cotton mixed with poliester

[@Sewemmydesigns]

Hi! I would recommend putting the cotton as the lining for the jacket so the waterproof fabric is on the outside. This should also help it be more comfortable against your skin!

Hi. When making outdoor cushions, should the waxy side be outside or inside?

[@Sewemmydesigns]

@@abigaillinde1155 Hi! I found the waxy/rubbery side should be on the inside. The more fabric feeling side would be the right side of the fabric. Let me know if you have any other questions!
