We love our fabrics. Here's why.
We've hand-selected a collection of fabrics that we think will make you smile. Smile because they're pretty. Smile again because they're practical, wipeable and reusable. Now that's something to smile about.
*Our fabric selections vary by product. Just click on your favorite things throughout the site to see what patterns are available.
Mexican Oilcloth
Chalkydoodles offers a wide variety of products made with imported Mexican Oilcloth. Mexican Oilcloth comes in a wide array of vintage-inspired prints that we know you are going to love! Mexican Oilcloth is a PVC-coated printed vinyl fabric that is backed with a thin, poly-cotton webbing.
Mexican Oilcloth does not require laundering and will last for years to come. It is water and stain resistant. Just wipe up with soap and water. Avoid machine washing and drying and no ironing, please.
Our Mexican Oilcloth products are for household use only and are not intended for use as toys.
*We offer custom design services with our Mexican Oilcloth fabrics. Visit our Custom page to see the patterns available for custom orders this season.
Laminated Cotton
Laminated cotton fabric is a printed woven cotton material that is coated with a waterproof laminate. You can just wipe it up with soap and water.
Some laminated cotton materials can be machine washed but most do not require laundering (please see product pages for care instructions). Hang to dry only and iron only on the "non-slick" side.
Our line of Chalkydoodles Poly's™ children's products are made with designer polyurethane-laminated cotton fabrics. Our Poly's™ are made with materials that meet the CPSIA guidelines for children's products. Chalkydoodles Poly's™ products wipe up with soap and water and do not require laundering.
Chalkboard Fabric
Some of our products are made with chalkboard fabric. Chalkboard fabric is a flexible black PVC fabric that can be written on with chalk and then erased. Wipe up with a damp cloth.
Chlkboarf fabric may spot if greasy food is spilled.
Upcycled Fabric
Many of our products are made with upcycled material that has been repurposed and recycled to make something old into something brand new! Our upcycled materials range from wool to cotton felt to old quilts, duvet covers, aprons and anything else you can think of!
With the exception of clothing, most of our upcycled fabrics are spot-clean only. But, please refer to our product descriptions for specific care instructions.
Jute (Burlap)
One of our favorite fabrics is Jute, a naturally-occuring plant fiber that has been woven into a material that is lightweight, stylish and durable. Jute is increasingly being looked at as an alternative source for making paper, rather than cutting down trees for pulp.
We currently offer a Jute fabric on our Chalkboard Labels and will be expanding our Jute product line in the near future. Jute does not require laundering and should be spot-cleaned only.
