This video is a very quick overview and I do not cover the full safety precautions in this video. Carry it out at your own risk.

Thanks for all the tips. I am starting a duffel bag for my son. Glad I watched this first.

This was a great informative video. I've been wanting to try waxed canvas for a while but was afraid my donation wouldn't handle it well. I recently bought a cylinder arm industrial with a flat bed option so now I really can't wait to try!!! Thanks so much!! And I'm really excited Adam has joined you!!!

@angelamcgovern1525 2 года назад

Great video. I’ve seen a lot of bags in fantastic coloured wax canvas, the bag makers have made it themselves, I think it’s messy but not hard to do. I have purchased from merchant and mills, I love their fabrics

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Making our own waxed canvas is something we hope to the try one day

@girlracer14 2 года назад

Thank you so much guys that's really helpful. I have to say I love how you have your sewing room so neat and tidy🙂 😊

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Oh yeah, Adam is a neat freak so he likes to make sure it’s tidy at the end of every day 😂 it’s very nice!

@111Fireman1111 Год назад

Thank you. Very helpful information for someone to learn from. Keep it up.

@FleurdeLinda.Stitches 2 года назад

Thank you for this. I’ve been looking into getting some waxed canvas and this helped a lot!

@janerowe15 2 года назад

I love listening to you Jo. Your videos are so informative and I'm really glad Adam has joined you. His voice is lovely too 😁. Can't wait to try your backpack. Thanks also for the link to the Aussie distributor for waxed canvas. It's so hard to find good suppliers in Australia so I'm going to check them out. Cheers from Melbourne.

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

@bikergirl7823 2 года назад

Very interesting video. Really pleased that you answered one of my concerns when it comes to transferring of wax to clothes. Also I use an industrial machine, I just wonder if it's going to be too heavy for the fabric. Thanks

@rcalsman8734 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the wonderful info about Waxed and Waterproof canvas. I was glad you went over the thick/thin types along with the many behind the scene issues with them both. I look forward to making that backpack and I think I want to use some type of canvas but am not crazy about waxed as It makes things looks so old/used. Am I the only person who thinks this way? I love to make all my bags/backpacks etc look like you just purchased them for the first time. When I see you crumble up the wax canvas my stomach becomes knots. But, with that said, I feel you are the best demonstrator and Pattern maker/Tutorial person ever. I look so forward to making many of your bags/backpacks for a long time. Thank you Jo, for everything you do!

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Don’t feel bad. I believe in making what you love. I love experimenting with different materials so have come to like a variety of looks.

@Erika-qp1ng Год назад

Thanks for the tips for wax canvas. I’m wondering how to clean it. Love your bags.

@catherinejacobs2789 10 месяцев назад

Sailrite in the US has great oilcloth like waxed canvas like M&M. That "oilcloth" isn't woven like duck because it is meant for sails on boats (old days more than now). Their canvas is topnotch

@sleeplessinscandia6452 2 года назад

I LOVE THIS BAG! We’ll done.

@sheelaghgrant6995 Год назад

I made 10 holdalls for members of my family and did not realise until afterwards how much the wax clogged up the feed dogs. I use a Janome HD9. It has no trouble with the wax canvas and I was really pleased with all the bags, but I will be sure to clean the machine more often.

@hilaryboggia1064 Год назад

How did you remove wax from the feed dogs. Thanks

@sheelaghgrant6995 Год назад

I just picked it off with a toothpick. Keep an eye on the needle as well.

@pkp6241 2 года назад

My kids are going to love the new pack, it’s just their style. Any chance you’ll put water bottle holders on the sides? I love, love all your videos, thank you so much for doing them and for being you ❤️ It’s so awesome you and Adam are working together. I also love that you’re not sponsored, nice to get honest opinions 😊

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Thanks. We won’t be doing for this bag sorry. Thanks for watching 😎

@pkp6241 2 года назад

@@CountryCowDesigns no problem, I’m sure I can add them myself but was worth asking lol

@leabelcher9792 2 года назад

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Cornwall is beautiful but it does like to rain 👌🏻

@connieadams5010 9 месяцев назад

Love the bag!! Thanks for the tips. Where did you get the little brown drawers behind you?

@CountryCowDesigns 9 месяцев назад

Thanks. They’re from a shop in the UK called Lasersmith

@sonialovesewing2396 2 года назад

Wow, I love that fuchsia backpack...is that the color? So pretty 😍 Thank u for the informative video. This is great to know 👍 I use an industrial sewing machine so I hope the needle won't be harsh on it. Anyways, thank u so much! Looking forward to the pattern 🤗

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

The waxed canvas is a deep red. The colours don’t always come across well on camera. Glad you enjoyed the video 👌🏻

@Jophyfolk 2 года назад

Thank you.

@beckymccubbins5845 2 года назад

The Klum House (USA) also sells waxed canvas.

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Thanks. We will check them out 👍🏼

@elizabethsawyer5906 2 года назад

Looking forward to it! Will there be a video tutorial with it?

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Yes. We hope to start filming this next week 😃

@manaliasaucedo5247 2 года назад

I have doubled the pattern piece to avoid the see through. Still easy to sew.

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

A great tip. Thanks 👌🏻

@karenshaver7437 2 года назад

How many yards of waxed canvas will we need to make the new backpack? (I’ll need to order ahead in order to have it on hand when the pattern is released.)

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

Good question. You will need just under a yard to construct the whole exterior from waxed canvas.

@klb1808 Год назад

Hi Jo, I’m about to come to the end of my black dry waxed canvas and I can’t for the life of me remember where I bought it. I’ve been through all my historic purchases on Etsy, PayPal and eBay. I’m at a loss! Where did you source yours please? 😊

@CountryCowDesigns Год назад

We get our dry waxed canvas (oil skin) from Merchant and Mills.

@mandookie007 2 года назад

Great video 👍 where did you get the two wpc types from?

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

The WPC came from AEMarketStore on Etsy. They’re a UK supplier.

@candacekramer4802 6 месяцев назад

Can oil skin canvas or waxed canvas be cut by a laser?

@scottmasson3336 Год назад

Can I ask why you need to put in a waterproof lining as wax canvas is waterproof already. An uncoated liner should be sufficient.

@CountryCowDesigns Год назад

Waterproof is just an option. Nice to have material you don’t need to interface and it’s very cheap

@wannaknit 2 года назад

I was curious about this material but to me it sounds so unsuitable for bags, I don't want wax on my clothes or my machine, if any scratch is going to permanently mark it, having to re-wax it, having to keep it away from heat...

@CountryCowDesigns 2 года назад

There are pros and cons. If you want the distressed look it’s worth a go but it’s not everyone’s taste.
