PVC Fabrics

PVC fabric at TradeUNO — coated PVC in plain weave at 54 and 61 inches, sold by the metre and in bulk.

PVC is a fabric base with a polymer coating, which makes it fully waterproof, wipe-clean and structurally stiff. Those properties suit it to bags, aprons, table covers, outdoor furnishing and costume work where a hard, high-shine surface is the point.

It does not breathe and it does not ease, so it is not a garment fabric in the ordinary sense. Sew with a Teflon foot or tissue under the fabric, and avoid pins — every hole is permanent. The 61-inch width cuts large panels without joins.
