Product Information
Full details
This NEOTRIMS Waterproof Canvas Fabric in Beige with a Floral Seamless Vine Pattern is designed for crafters and DIY enthusiasts looking to create durable, water-repellent items for both indoor and outdoor use. Its key benefit is its robust, PVC-coated surface that effectively repels water, making it ideal for cushion covers, garden furniture, and bags. A notable caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not designed for permanent outdoor exposure and should be classified as such.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this fabric truly waterproof?
The fabric is technically 'water-repellent' due to its PVC coating, meaning water will bead up and slide off. It is not designed to be fully waterproof under constant immersion or heavy, prolonged rain.
Can I use this fabric for permanent outdoor furniture?
No, this fabric is not recommended for permanent outdoor use. While it is suitable for outdoor cushions and covers that are exposed to occasional weather, prolonged exposure to sunlight and elements can degrade the coating.
How should I clean the fabric?
The best method is to wipe it clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
What is the weight and thickness of the fabric?
The fabric weighs 411GSM and has a thickness of 0.61mm, making it a heavy-duty yet manageable material.
Can I buy a continuous length of fabric?
Yes, for UK buyers, more than 1 meter is always supplied in a continuous length. For international buyers, the maximum continuous length is 5 meters; orders over this may be supplied in multiple pieces.
Are there matching plain fabrics available?
Yes, NEOTRIMS offers matching plain colors in the same quality on a separate listing, allowing for mix-and-match designs.
Troubleshooting
Needle skipping stitches
Ensure you are using a suitable needle (e.g., denim or microtex) and that it is not bent or dull. Check your machine's tension settings for thicker fabrics.
Fabric feels stiff after cleaning
The PVC coating is sensitive to heat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
Water seems to be soaking through
While water-repellent, the fabric is not fully waterproof. Ensure seams are properly finished and consider using a seam sealant for projects that will be fully exposed to rain. Check that the PVC coating is intact and not damaged.
Cutting the fabric is difficult
Use a sharp rotary cutter or heavy-duty fabric shears. Ensure a stable cutting surface and cut slowly and deliberately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- This fabric is ready to use directly from the roll. For best results when cutting, ensure your cutting surface is clean and stable.
- When sewing, use a slightly longer stitch length than you might for lighter fabrics. A stronger needle, such as a denim or microtex needle, is recommended due to the fabric's thickness.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard sewing machines.
- Pairs well with various threads, including polyester or heavy-duty cotton.
- Can be used with other fabric types for mixed-media projects, ensuring appropriate seam finishes for durability.
- Ideal for projects like cushion covers, tote bags, aprons, outdoor furniture covers, upholstery for lightweight indoor/outdoor seating, and crafting.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher spots.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the PVC coating.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- For best longevity, store in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
