When making clothes for the kids I often have trouble finding the fabric I want in a fabric traditionally used for making clothing, like cotton, corduroy, flannel, etc... Occasionally I'll find what I'm looking for but it will be in a drapery type fabric. This is a medium weight duck canvas with the images printed onto the fabric. At first I wasn't comfortable about trying something different but I finally gave it a try and discovered that this type of fabric works great for kids clothes. It is thicker than cotton so it is warmer during the fall/winter months and is very durable.
I do follow the washing instructions and only wash in cold water with mild detergent and air dry. I also wash these items by themselves because I have experienced some minor bleeding in the wash.
The best part is it opens up alot of different fabric print options. Both the elephant and orange zebra print fabrics are the drapery style fabric. They are both my current favorites in my girls closets and we get tons of compliments on them.
