About Laminated Fabric

March 19, 2019

Laminated fabric is 100% cotton with a PVC layer fused to the surface.

It is waterproof, made in Korea and we import it directly from the manufacturers.

If you make a hole in the fabric, don’t panic, you just need to rub on the back (cotton) side and it will recover.

For some time we’ve been printing our own designs and our fabric range is getting bigger and bigger.

It’s quite thick material, so when you make a bag it doesn’t need interfacing.

To clean, we recommend wiping down with a damp cloth

Questions

1. What’s the difference between oil-cloth and laminated fabric?

 – The main difference is that it is 100% cotton material as the base and sews very well. We do not use a Teflon foot or special needle and use a standard sewing machine to make all the products we show.

2. Can it be ironed?

 – You can iron on back at low heat to remove any creases that occur in transit.

3. Can beginners use this fabric?

 – Yes, many people come to our exhibition workshops and make their own make-up bag easily and that includes inserting a zip. There has been no failures so far.

4. What can it be used for?

– There are so many possibilities. For example, children’s lunch box, raincoat, basket, backpack, make-up bag, nappy changing mat, apron, messenger bag etc.. We have only scratched the surface with our patterns.

5. Some of these are thicker than others. What makes this difference?

 – Korean manufacturers use two different type of cotton, Oxford or Quilting grades. The Oxford fabric is more robust and produces a thicker laminated fabric
