Per Metre Dry Waxed Cotton Fabric – 55" Wide (Red)

Discover our versatile Dry Wax Cotton fabric, supplied by the metre and available in a generous 55-inch (approximately 140 cm) width. This fabric combines the natural character and breathability of cotton with a distinctive dry wax finish, creating a practical material with a stylish, slightly weathered appearance.

Dry Wax Cotton is a popular choice for both fashion and practical sewing projects. Its durable construction and structured handle make it suitable for garments and accessories that need to withstand regular use while maintaining an attractive finish.

Features & Benefits

The fabric has a dry, waxed surface that gives it a unique look and feel compared with standard cotton fabrics. The finish can provide a degree of resistance to light moisture and everyday wear, making it particularly useful for outerwear and accessories.

The material has a firm yet workable handle, making it suitable for cutting, sewing and creating structured items. It can be used for a wide range of projects, from clothing and bags to home décor and creative craft applications.

The fabric works particularly well for projects where you want a more rugged, durable and contemporary appearance rather than the softer finish of conventional lightweight cotton.

Perfect for Handmade Projects

Create unique handmade pieces with a fabric that offers both style and practicality. From a classic waxed cotton-style jacket to a hard-wearing everyday bag, this material can be adapted to a wide variety of designs.

Its attractive surface makes it suitable for minimalist, vintage-inspired, workwear and outdoor-style projects. It can also be combined with other fabrics, linings, webbing, leather, buckles and hardware to create professional-looking finished products.
