Canvas Fabric

Canvas fabric is a strong, woven material designed for projects that need structure and durability. Easy to handle and long-lasting, it’s ideal for craft, upholstery, bags, and outdoor covers. The dense weave provides strength and resistance to wear, making it one of the most practical fabrics for everyday use.

It can be cut, stitched, and finished to suit any project, from decorative cushions to heavy-duty protective covers. For coated and treated versions, explore our standard loomstate canvas and waterproof canvas options.

What Is Canvas Fabric Used For?

Canvas fabric is a versatile choice that works well for both indoor and outdoor projects. Its tightly woven surface provides strength and structure, making it ideal for sewing projects where durability is important.

It’s commonly used for tote bags, aprons, and accessories that need to hold their shape, as well as for home projects such as cushions, chair covers, and curtains. Waterproof canvas material is particularly suited to outdoor use, from garden covers and marquees to craft stalls and event backdrops. Many people also use canvas fabric as a sturdy base for wall hangings, banners, and decorative pieces.

Types of Canvas Fabric

Our collection includes a range of canvas fabrics designed to handle everything from craft projects to outdoor use. Each style offers a different weight, finish, and level of protection, giving you the freedom to choose the right material for your project.

Plain Canvas Fabric

Plain canvas fabric is a traditional, tightly woven cotton blend known for its strength and smooth surface. It’s easy to cut, stitch, and handle, making it ideal for sewing projects that need a sturdy base. This type of canvas fabric works well for cushion covers, tote bags, light upholstery, and creative craft pieces.

Rot Proof / Waterproof Canvas Material

Rot-proof and waterproof canvas material is treated to resist water and general wear, providing added protection for outdoor or commercial use. The coated surface helps prevent moisture absorption while maintaining flexibility, so it’s practical for garden furniture covers, awnings, and event draping. Despite its protective finish, it still cuts and sews easily using standard domestic or industrial machines.
