Showerproof Taffeta Fabric - Black

A wardrobe staple for handmade outerwear, this classic black showerproof fabric has the look and feel of a traditional taffeta, with a smooth surface and crisp handle. Made from synthetic fibres, it's an ex-designer deadstock find with plenty of potential for practical sewing projects.

Designed for use as an outer shell, this is just the sort of fabric you'd find on the outside of a puffer jacket. Its showerproof properties also make it a great option for handmade raincoats, lightweight jackets and anoraks.

And don't stop at clothing. We'd also reach for this fabric to make practical everyday bags, rucksacks and project bags. The plain black finish keeps things understated, versatile and easy to wear.
