(Yes, you're allowed to use this canvas for other things; we won't stop you ... it's just so perfect for making tote bags that we have trouble imagining other creations. Even we run out of ideas sometimes, hard as that is to believe! :) Nevertheless, in response to repeated customer request, we're offering this fabric primarily for people who want an affordable, sustainable, durable canvas for making shopping bags.)

Made from a combination of recycled cotton and recycled polyester, this sturdy canvas keeps fabric waste from landfills while providing us with an affordable, durable, tightly-woven material that's just perfect for (you guessed it) tote bags and other crafts. Try screen-printing, fabric painting, or embellishing in other ways -- this fabric makes a great backdrop for your imagination.

Although not organic, we do believe this fabric meets our goal of sustainability: it's woven in the United States from material that would otherwise be sent to the landfill, and using it is definitely preferable to choosing conventional cotton.
