This Tent and Tarp Canvas Makes the Best Slipcover
Designed for tents and tarps, this utility canvas also makes the best washable, long wearing slipcovers. Use it to give your worn & loved chair or sofa a new look.
This project was a custom slipcover replacement for my customer Ali. She sent me her old floral slipcover to be copied with a skirt update.
Her vision for her new cover? A classic look, versatile, durable and washable. That was easy to achieve with this #12 weight natural cotton duck because it delivers all of that and then some.
Compared to regular 12 oz canvas, the #12 weight is tougher, smoother, stronger, and less grainy. That’s because it’s made with 2-ply yarns and tightly woven. Designed for tents and tarps, this utility canvas also makes the best washable, long wearing slipcovers.
The casual, relaxed feel is not the only thing you’ll like; the price is a winner too!
This undyed cotton cloth has higher shrinkage than other canvas fabrics, so be sure to follow my preshrink instructions to minimize the wrinkles.
