Has anyone tried this new product, it looks kind of interesting and it's about $3.00 a yard, I think I will get some then figure out what to do with it. Love the bright colors and it;s waterproof to. You can get it at Walmart or Joanns

Thanks, Bev. I know when you get through playing with it, you'll give the rest of us your wisdom on it! Have fun playing.

Have not seen this but thanks for sharing. This would be perfect for outdoor goodies. I will have to check next time I am near both places.

I'm constantly looking for fabric appropriate for little bags. I definitely will look into this. Did not notice it in either Walmart or Joann's over the past few weeks.

At Joanne's it is with the utility fabrics. You can also find it at Hobby Lobby. I made outdoor banners and so far they have held up very nicely. In full sun for over a month and colors still bright. As someone else mentioned DoNOt Iron or you will have to buy a tube of Iron Cleaner!! But, it doesn't ravel or shred so youdon't have to hem,etc.

I made a bag for my yoga instructor to carry her blocks in. She wanted something lightweight and it is that. I also was not impressed as the fabric has thin spots in it. I did line art embroidery on it and it did just fine, no puckering. I've got some scraps, so I should perhaps try to iron it. If I get a chance, I will try to report on my findings. I've included a link to the post about the bags.

I'm not sure

not sure if it's the same product, but have seen similar at Spotlight in the Furnishings department but only in Black and White

At Spotlight it's called Eco fabric and it's the same stuff that the blue zip up chiller bags are made out of. I've only seen it in black and white as well. The Oly fabric claims to be ok to leave in the sun whereas the Eco fabric seems to degrade in the sun (I've found by leaving a chiller bag in the car lol).

I have stitched on lots of pre-made bags and it worked well. However, steam melted the first one. I have used a barely warm iron with a cloth and it was fine. I have washed a commercial one because it was either wash it and have it clean or throw it away and it washed great.I used a bucket and the dirt just kind of slid off! I rolled it in a towel and then put it on a clothes hanger to dry. Enjoy all the bright colors!

Made many more things with it. It's fun to work with and durable for outside

I also like working with it, it sews and embroiders nicely
