mind the maker | heavy washed canvas | natural

Urban charm with a rough heart

Imagine an industrial loft meeting the sewing machine – that’s exactly how the Heavy Washed Canvas collection from mind the MAKER feels. Robust, honest, edgy – and as stylish as a freshly pressed flat white in Copenhagen. These fabrics have character and patina without needing years of wear. Ideal for anyone who likes to combine clean lines with a casual used look.

Heavy Washed Canvas – a fabric with attitude

If a fabric could say, "I’ve got this!", it would be this one. The Heavy Washed Canvas brings a solid 475 g/m² weight to the needle and a good dose of coolness along with it. The three colors – Calm Grey, Umber, and Pickle – range from urban-elegant to earthy-warm and are as versatile as your favorite tool. The finely washed surface adds a subtle vintage note that gives every project that special "I’m not off the rack" feeling.

Thanks to its firm feel, this fabric is perfect for projects that need structure – whether in the form of a jacket with a statement collar, a bag with edges and corners, or sturdy pants for DIY adventures.

Calm Grey – The quiet hero

Calm Grey is like a deep breath on a hectic day. A cool, muted gray with a slight blue tint that radiates calm without being boring. Perfect for anyone who loves the minimalist look or is looking for a neutral tone that goes with everything. Whether as a jacket for a patterned blouse or as a bag that never clashes with your outfit – Calm Grey stays discreetly in the background and looks damn good doing it.

Calm Grey is the chameleon fabric among canvas tones – understated but incredibly versatile. Here are a few combo ideas depending on whether you prefer it elegant, casual, or playful:

💼 For the minimalist look:

• Off-white or natural linen: provides Scandinavian clarity – perfect for clean jackets or home accessories

• Black & anthracite: adds depth without being too dominant – cool for bags or backpacks

🌾 For the natural tones vibe:

• Mustard yellow (e.g., Pickle!), rust red, or olive: creates a warm contrast that isn’t overpowering – ideal for patchwork elements or colorful lining fabrics

• Earth tones like umber: create a harmonious duo with depth and character – great for two-tone jackets or fabric baskets

🎨 For a modern splash of color:

• Dusty pink or mauve: makes it a bit more feminine without drifting into cotton candy territory

• Petrol or deep blue: provides a fresh, urban look – perfect for urban backpacks or statement bags

You want it exciting? Combine Calm Grey with a wild lining – e.g., a floral poplin or colorful lining fabric. Understated on the outside, "Tadaaa!" on the inside 😎
