Are you looking for an oilcloth for your table? Here at Selfmade®, formerly known as STOFF & STIL, you can easily find just that. Here you will find a wide range of oilcloths, textile oilcloths, PVC with non-woven backing and transparent oilcloth. We have plain, printed, digitally printed and extra-wide oilcloths. Use them on the table indoors and out, or for beach mats, bags and much more.
Transparent oilcloth
We have oilcloth fabrics in different colours and digital prints. Choose from textile oilcloth, PVC with a non-woven backing or transparent oilcloth, perfect if you want to protect your table without covering its beautiful surface.
Oilcloth for indoors and outdoors
Oilcloth can be used both indoors and outdoors. It is perfect for summer evenings outside and easy to wipe clean after dinner or a fun, and sometimes messy, arts and crafts session with the kids.
Cleaning oilcloth
Some textile oilcloths can be machine washed at low temperatures, but in most cases a damp cloth is all you need. All oilcloths are water resistant and can be used straight away without sewing.
If you do not want to use oilcloth as a tablecloth, you can also turn it into a beach blanket or a beach bag. It also works well as a liner for the bottom of a hamster cage. The possibilities are almost endless.
What is oilcloth?
Oilcloth is cotton or linen fabric that has been treated on one side to make it waterproof. Water simply wipes or runs off the treated surface instead of soaking into the fabric.
It is flexible, easy to sew and available in different qualities and thicknesses. The glossy surface often makes the colours appear even more vibrant. At Selfmade®, our oilcloth is sold by the metre, making it easy to buy exactly the amount you need, whether you are sewing a large tablecloth or a small bag.
3 sewing projects for oilcloth
If you want to try sewing with oilcloth but are not sure where to begin, here are a few ideas.
Tablecloth for the kids
Create a large tablecloth where the kids can enjoy arts and crafts without worrying about spills. Simply wipe the surface clean afterwards. Order the size you need and hem the edges for a neat finish.
Line toiletry bags
Toiletry bags often get damp from leaking shampoo bottles or toothpaste. A lining of oilcloth helps keep moisture away from the rest of your luggage and is easy to wipe clean.
Make a beach bag
Oilcloth helps keep dampness out. Sew a beach bag with an oilcloth lining to keep towels and spare clothes dry. Complete it with a zip for an extra practical finish.
