So, are you looking for a fabric that is not only durable but also a small design statement? Then pay attention – this one could become your new favorite!

Loreen Canvas from mind the MAKER is a lightweight canvas made of 100% cotton – and comes with a charming worn look that we quilters* know and love all too well. The fabric has been treated with a special pigment wash. The result? A gently faded look that immediately triggers that “I’ve been your favorite piece forever” feeling. And as a bonus, the canvas also becomes really pleasantly soft.

What can you create from it?

• Light jackets or blousons that are not only practical but also stylish.

• Bags, pouches, backpacks – the fabric has enough body to shape your creativity.

• Home decor? Yes, please. I can very well imagine sturdy seat cushions.

And yes – for quilts it might be a bit stiff, but as ultra-durable backsides for your new picnic quilt – definitely conceivable. Definitely try it out.

Aubergine – dramatic, sensual, and a bit extravagant. This deep purple shade adds an elegant touch to any sewing project without being overpowering. The slightly washed-out surface gives it a pleasant warmth and depth – almost like velvet, but without the shine. Whether as an accent in modern quilts, a statement bag, or chic home decor: Aubergine is the secret ingredient for a sophisticated look with personality.

Facts at a glance:

• Width: 150 cm

• Weight: 240 g/m²

💡 My tip: Combine the Loreen Canvas with a delicate print on a classic cotton fabric for exciting texture contrasts – perfect for modern bag projects with a wow effect.

Save yourself the long search, treat yourself to this fabric – and bring rustic elegance to your projects!
