Waxed canvas is the original water-resistant fabric. It's a densely-woven cotton fabric that has been saturated with wax, giving it an extra layer of protection. Waxed canvas shows scuffs, marks and creases that blend into a weathered patina with age.
Our leather is sourced locally at Oregon Leather, as well as from a tannery in Pennsylvania, and hand-selected for its quality. Our hides are cut into straps with a hydraulic press to ensure precision and consistency. NOTE: Our tan leather might feel stiff at first, but it will soften and darken to a lovely caramel brown with use.
Hardware can take a bag from looking homemade to truly professional—and it's not hard to do! With a few basic tools, you'll be able to set rivets, snaps, magnetic closures and more. All of our hardware is real metal and strong enough to hold up to years of wear and tear.
Loved video so helpful
Really does help to see the process
Easy to understand and paced well for following along. Good camera visuals of steps so I could see the process and outcome.
One thing: I was able to look this up after but maybe add a link to how you clean wax off/out of the sewing machine feed dogs? I figured if Ellie was using waxed canvas all the time there must be a way to clean the machine. It might freak someone else out but they may not know how to deal with it after the bag is all done.
Many thanks,
Summer
