katia | recycled canvas | rust

Katia's Recycled Canvas (Art. 8578) is a robust yet pleasantly soft canvas with a chambray effect – visually a bit like light denim, but significantly thinner and more flexible. It is made from recycled cotton and recycled polyester, making it a sustainable choice for bags, home textiles, and accessories.

You can sew shoppers, backpacks, project bags, cushion covers, table runners, tablecloths, curtains, fabric baskets, organizers, or chair and bench covers from it. It's ideal as a backing for a picnic quilt. This canvas is also perfect for laptop cases, pencil cases, toiletry bags, or robust children's room decor (seat cushions, playmat covers, etc.) – anywhere you need some body but not heavy upholstery material.

Thanks to the blend of recycled cotton and recycled polyester, the fabric has a rustic and natural look, yet is durable and Oeko-Tex certified. It is easy to cut and sew, especially with a universal needle size 80/90; for multiple layers or bags with firm interfacings, Katia recommends a walking foot or increased presser foot pressure.
