Did you by chance buy your waxed canvas online? I’m looking for something just like that to make a new bag and it is hard to find!
Hi Mariah! I am also using waxed canvas for my next bag. I bought this piece on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/bagsupplycompany), which is okay for a yard or two. If you need a lot, you might want to contact Fairfield Textile who can sell larger quantities. Look for Martexin Original Wax. They have a cutting fee for small orders, and shipping is usually pretty expensive because it ships on a long roll. Hope that helps!
Bag making is very interesting. I saw your other bags. That’s what I do the most of, though I make clothes like a recycled denim vest recently. Have you worked with stretch fabrics yet? Pullover shirts are a breeze with a nice cotton stretch; slap on a patch pocket and I like to put an Mp3 pocket just above the waist ad off to the side where comfortable.
So I got something recently I want you to see, knowing you have your industrial machine. I got a post machine that makes chain stitches. Check it out at

This is a fabulous pattern. I found you on the Sew Mama Sew site. I ordered my waxed canvas at Red Rabbit Mercantile .https://www.redrabbitmercantile.com. I used leather handles – Red Rabbit was happy to put a hardware kit together for me and it arrived quickly. I love the results!
Thank you! Glad you like the pattern.
Hi Taylor,
Found you on www.madalynne.com. This is a fantastic bag. I’ve just recently started working with thicker fabrics like these. Going to need to research this. I love the weathered look it has. So beautiful.
Cheers,
Natalie
