    I noticed Walmart is selling this PVC-backed fabric called Pro-Tuff outdoor utility fabric inside most stores in the El Paso area for pretty cheap. I always use pinking shears to cut this for this PVC fabric as well as the hobby lobby and Great Wall of China mart duck cloth/duck canvas.

    I know this is an older video, but it was extremely helpful to stumble into my feed. I bought these long rolls of this stuff years ago and it's really nice, have it in many colors, but have really not been able to use it because of it's low give rate and until now, I had no clue I could press it on the canvas side. So good to know :)

    I’ve become a huge fan of WPC, and I use it both for the inside and outside of my bags. It’s so sturdy too! One suggestion for your videos, black fabric is very hard to see well in them. A lighter color would be better. 😁

    I'm topping up on info - especially technique for waterproof canvass, before venturing a bit beyond than the absolute basics that I've done so far. I'm now thinking of lining a back pack with it so your demo is very timely. The pattern isn't finalised but this makes me think if there are any curved sections, I'll pull out the mini clips that have a smaller point of contact rather than a 1cm line. I think they could really help with holding the fabric along a more curved stitching line, providing they have the strength of grip needed for this rather unyielding fabric - fingers crossed.

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For the curved areas, make sure to clip into the fabric a little with some smaller scissors. All along the curve - it'll make it a LOT easier to work with as the waterproof canvas has no bias.

    I have one more question to ask, if you were going to interface the waterproof canvas, what kind of interfacing would you use?

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have used foam before, just for structure. Like if I use Waterproof Canvas for the lining and the bag calls for Foam, I'll use it on the lining instead of the exterior. Otherwise, I honestly don't think it's wise to do any interfacing that's iron-on, because you may remove the water proofing qualities with all that heat.

    Hi. I noticed the seam was made on the rubberized side of the fabric.
    Is that to say that the rubberized side is not the show side of the lining?
    Does water leak through the stitches when using rubberized fabric?
    Thanks.

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Right, the canvas side is the RIGHT side of the fabric. The rubberized portion is the WRONG side. If you want it to be truly waterproof, you'd likely have to seal the seam allowance on the wrong side before closing up the bag - and make sure the opening is somewhere along the side or in the top-most stitch (for a tote). Sealing could be done with puffy paint FWIW.

    How do you make a waterproof bag that can be used for aeroponic gardening for the root chamber? Basically do not want the water leaking out the bag's seams. I'll be using a very tiny water droplet mists which will coat the roots with water. Eventually these mists will form water droplets when they hit the inner bag's wall and dropdown to the bag's floor and create a puddle of water.

    Thank you for introducing us to waterproof canvas! I just bought some printed and solid colored Ottertex with the hope of making totes (no curved seams). If I used the Ottertex for both the outer and inner lining of the bag, would that work without having to add stabilizer or interfacing? I just have a domestic machine.

    • @fiercekittenz

      It's not stiff enough to hold its shape, so as long as it's a bag meant to have a little give and not hold a firm shape you're fine.

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey! Sorry for the late response - if you want it to be TRULY waterproof, you're going to need to seal the seams somehow. I'm not sure the appropriate way. If it's just for you, you could maybe use puffy paint along the seams on the inside. For an actual bag to sell though? No clue :( I know the canvas itself is waterproof, but I always just list my bags as "water resistant".

      When I use the canvas, the seams are inside-out and sandwiched with the exterior fabric, so I haven't had to worry about finishing them. As far as waterproofing the seams, you really can't unless you silicone or edge kote the seams from the inside.

Is that a different way or how would you use that ? So you have a video on must haves to buy to have on hand when making bags ? Ty again beautiful video ! Lol also so this you only use this for the lining ? What about a wallet sleeves ? Is that the acrylic ? Do you have a video on that one as well ! I’m sorry to keep asking so many questions but one lastly please lol around for the smaller bags you sell around hoe much would you guess around about how much does it take to use this type of fabric linings ? Like is 5 yards a good amount to last for a few bags ? I was thinking going with white Abd black to start ? Or maybe blue also or pink ? I guess this would be preference as far as that goes but to get basic materials to start out maybe just the two ! Or does white stain any I wonder !? Okay again ty soo much !

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I honestly don't know. I could tell you that there's waterPROOF and waterRESISTANT fabrics. The "proof" which I demonstrated here has the rubberized backing. The resistant version will still let water through, but it beads up on the surface until it gets overwhelmed with moisture and seeps through. It's a lot easier to sew the resistant stuff for sure. Are you thinking of the PLU fabric used for cloth diapering maybe?

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It depends on the handbag style. Is it structured or slouchy? If structured, foam or decovil are great options. If it's slouchy, you may get away with no interfacing at all as long as the WPC has that rubberized backing. If no backing and it just looks like canvas on both sides, woven interfacing like SF101 works great.

      I actually don't use wholesale! But... the bare minimum you need is to register your business as a DBA (Doing Business As) with your state. Then pay extra to get the Federal Tax ID (FEIN) for your business. That's what wholesale companies will be looking for when giving you pricing. I tend to just buy in bulk from places like FWD.com for the waterproof canvas and then Country Brook Design for hardware.

      There's a couple of my videos that may help you:

      and
      th-cam.com/video/cQ_5CQYlufw/w-d-xo.html
      Both cover strategies for thicker fabrics.

    What colors do you buy for lining

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  ปีที่แล้ว

      I like to stick to common colors like black, gray, silver, navy. You see I have some aqua in there - that's because I had invested in a LOT of fabric with that tone in it :)

    What’s the best way to store waterproof canvas? Folding them seems to leave a crease.

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually do fold it up! But you can steam it out (of course from the fabric side) and it gets all fixed up. Loooots of steam is what helps. It doesn't melt away the rubberized backing, but it will help relax it.

    So when do you use this? For the lining of anything?

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      MOSTLY linings. You can use it on the exterior, but it's very stiff and hard to work around curved edges without it looking pinched. But it's flipping fantastic for linings!

    What is the difference between duck cloth and waterproof canvas?

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Duck cloth is a lot stiffer and thicker. It doesn't have the waterproofing.

    Thank you for the video, how do you store your waterproof canvas? I have seen them on huge rolls. So you have any idea where I can buy them? 😊

    • @fiercekittenz
      @fiercekittenz  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I actually just leave it folded up as you see on the thumbnail. Then I have a closet with loads of shelving and stash it there. I have had good luck going to a Joanns and asking for the deco fabric rolls they are going to throw out.

      I'm not sure exactly. It's not far off from a regular canvas. Not as thick as duck cloth for sure.
