Not your Grandma's Oilcloth

Want to feel the fabric?

People fall in love at first touch. Many gasp because they think it'll be hard like the old oilcloth. It's not.

You gotta touch it to believe it!

Wipe-n-wash for the win!

Is it washable?

YES! But mostly, you don’t have to.
For stubborn spots, soak it in the sink with soap, and scrub it on the cotton side until it washes out. You can use most products or sprays.

Pen marks MAY come off with goo-off or similar products (but they may not).

Use the washer and the dryer. Really.
If it comes out wrinkly, you can iron it too.

How do I sew with it?

Don't be afraid to sew with Laminated Cotton!

Do I need special tools?

Nope! It's easy-peasy.
Go ahead and use whatever you have already. You can try:

Schmetz non-stick needle
Sharp denim needle
40 Weight poly thread
#3.5 (longer) stitch length
Teflon foot

Sewing Patterns?

We have sewing tutorials too!
We want to help you SEW ALL THE THINGS!

Go ahead and copy or print these patterns. We don't sell them or send you printed copies.

Let us know if you have edits. THX!

Can I iron it?

Yes, you can iron it! Yes, it's scary, but true!
Start on the cotton side with a lower heat setting. Most wrinkles & creases will relax out over time.

You can iron on interfacing or stabilizers. Go ahead and try it. If you are able to ruin it, we will send you replacement fabric.

We have even made hot pads out of it.

What is this magical Fabric?

Not your Grandma's Oilcloth

Is it eco-friendly?

Is the business eco-friendly too?

YES. And we have an EnviroStar to prove it!

We recycle EVERYTHING possible. All wholesale orders and many of our retail orders are shipped in recycled boxes. New packaging is always biodegradable.

We save energy wherever we can, & do errands by electric car. We strive for a circular economy model, by using local stitchers + Made in the US suppliers.

Who makes our products?

Our special laminated cotton fabric is sourced responsibly from Korea.

All our sewn goods are cut and sewn right here in Seattle. We use immigrant sewers and pay a living wage. Everything is cut and sewn by a family run Seattle area shop. Read more HERE

Is it "Oilcloth"?

NO! This is NOT YOUR GRANDMA"S OILCLOTH. It's not made of oil, nor is it made with toxic PVC like the Mexican “oilcloth”. Don’t be fooled--Mexican oilcloth never biodegrades and contains Phthalates, which have been known to cause cancer. Instead, our water-based urethane coating is laminated to the face of the fabric, combining durability with easy-care convenience. All of our fabrics are food-safe, earth-safe, and family-friendly.

Our "Magic Fabric" has the weight and drape of real cotton. It's laminated with a soft matte biodegradable finish to ensure it can stand up to years of wear and tear. It's sophisticated, feels like plain fabric, and is built to last.
