🪡 In this video, Jo walks you through how to sew with oilskin fabric as part of the Fabric Masterclass series, covering the techniques, tools, and sewing tips that make working with this practical fabric much easier. Oilskin is a durable, water-resistant fabric that’s perfect for bags, jackets, coats, aprons, and outdoor-inspired projects, but it behaves very differently from standard woven cottons and dressmaking fabrics.
🧵 In this video, Jo covers:
✔️ What oilskin fabric is and how it behaves
✔️ The best needles, thread, and machine settings to use
✔️ How to sew oilskin without damaging the fabric
✔️ Tips for cutting, pinning, and pressing oilskin correctly
