Fabric question (cotton canvas drop cloth vs cotton tablecloth)
**Before I start I want to make it clear: this is just for FUN and an experiment before I go buy actual nice fabric for something else!!** I am making a diamond tufted headboard. I am using 3 inch foam. I want to spend as little money as possible on fabric, and even though this headboard is just a “test run” project, I still would like it to look decent as I may use it in the guest room. I have two options so far: Cotton canvas drop cloth Cotton table cloth The way that it “wears” isn’t really important as it won’t be used for long or touched often. But of these two choices, which would you recommend will look better, is easier to work with etc.? Or are they basically the same? Thank you!!! submitted by /u/wet-pine-tree1 to r/upholstery [link] [comments]

Jumpsuit from 100% cotton canvas painters drop cloth
This is the Farrah Jumpsuit from Sew Over It.... I used less than $10(nzd) of fabric from Bunnings (Wagners painters drop cloth) and cotton gutterman (because I might throw it in the wash with some dye, this fabric dyes really well!) it's a wearable toile/work wear that I won't feel precious about living in while we start autumn clean up around the property. It was my first go at an "intermediate" pattern, it was a lot of pattern pieces and I didn't understand the placket instructions so went way off piste and just followed my nose. And it was my first collar with a collar stand and I also just logic'd it (it was no where near what the instructions wanted but I think mine worked out fine) I also have a waist band left over... And I checked and double checked I don't understand why they made me cut two but only uses one? submitted by /u/dinosuitgirl to r/sewing [link] [comments]

Best heavy-duty canvas drop cloths that actually protect floors?
It’s surprising how something as basic as a drop cloth can have such mixed opinions depending on who you ask. Been looking into canvas drop cloths for painting, and some people say they’re thick enough to stop any paint from seeping through, while others mention spills still soaking through unless you double them up or use a plastic layer underneath. Not really sure where the truth sits. For anyone who’s used them, what actually works best for keeping paint from reaching the floor? Is it all about getting a heavier weight canvas, or does brand/quality matter more than the thickness? And do you usually use them on their own, or combine with something like plastic or another layer just to be safe? Also curious if lighter drops hold up at all or if they’re just a waste for messy jobs. Feels like there’s a lot of trial and error here, so would love to hear what actually worked for people and any mistakes to avoid. submitted by /u/RecordingFlashy1686 to r/ProductQuery [link] [comments]

Finally got around to making a drop cloth coarse and I'm amazed no one is mass producing these. It's absolutely brilliant.
Just a 4'x12' canvas drop cloth for painting cut down to 4'x4' with two layers of aluminum tape on the back (took two rolls). Only about $25 at harbor freight. I don't have a 3D printer and this is cheaper and more portable than any other course option I've ever seen. It folds up small enough to put in a backpack. I never have to worry about weather, mosquitos, or cleaning my tires. And it only takes seconds to change the lines completely. Great way to crawl indoors or cover your workspace to test out new parts and adjustments on your rig. I'm pretty glad I found this method before I put a ton of money and effort into building a more permanent course. And since I still have the remaining drop cloth, I can buy a few more rolls of aluminum tape and make an even bigger one in case I can actually convince some of my friends to get into this hobby. submitted by /u/lethally_fluffy to r/SCX24 [link] [comments]

Will a canvas drop cloth damage oil-based polyurethane finish on hardwood floors after 48hrs?
Hello, I recently purchased a home, and decided to pull up the carpet and have the hardwood floors underneath sanded and refinished. The floors look amazing, and were already in pretty decent shape when I took the carpet up a couple weeks ago. I have one room that I want to paint prior to moving soon. The floors had their second (final) coat of oil-based poly finish applied on Tuesday morning, and the flooring contractor said that we will be able to walk on the floors with socks by Thursday. The house has been well ventilated with the fans running while the finish has been drying. If I come to the house on Thursday to start painting that room, would a canvas drop cloth mess up then finish? I would only have it down for a few hours, and it would just be me in the house working (I am a pretty skinny guy, so not much weight). I have a small stepstool that I will probably use, but would put some cardboard down below it (on top of the drop cloth) to distribute the weight and prevent heavy pressure points. For additional context, we won't be moving in for several more weeks (meaning no heavy furniture), but I'll be starting a new job at the very beginning of March, and would like to complete as many home projects as possible before that starts. submitted by /u/benjaminpoole to r/Flooring [link] [comments]

Local Backpack Creators (preferably cloth/canvas)?
I recently switched to using a backpack instead of a purse, which I love, but my current one is just a shitty, unstructured canvas bag I bought as an extra carry-on a decade ago. After some research and a coworker's recommendation, I snagged a very cute star-print Kipling backpack, but it's not quite right and I don't like the material. I'd rather not spend more than $200 (really like...$150) but, if I'm going to drop that much on a bag, I'd love to support a local creator! This can be actual bag creation/patterns or embroidery (I'm currently leaning towards a Kanken or JanSport). This is just for everyday use, but I'm a writer and I work in a library, so this thing is likely to be periodically filled with books. A brief list of things I like to carry: At least 1 book (sometimes more if I have class readings) and/or a notebook/journal Water bottle Meds/toiletries like eyedrops, extra masks, etc. Deodorant I have a big, long wallet Ideally my umbrella, which would fit in an outer pocket, but I won't die if I don't have it Emergency snacks/electrolyte packets Various other small items Fitting my 13" laptop would be a bonus but it's not The Most Important My requirements: Medium size, preferably not larger than 26 L but I am flexible on this (I am 5' 2" and very skinny, I don't necessarily want to look like I'm hoofing it to school every day) Pockets! All the pockets! Even better if there are side pockets for my water bottle and umbrella! I am very hyper-organized and got used to having two separate outer pockets in addition to the two inner pouches and the laptop pouch (and main bag area), so I'd like options for keeping things separated. Also open to bags like the Kanken that take organizational inserts Padding and weight distribution! My current bag has zero padding anywhere and the weight distribution is nonexistent, which is the main reason it's gotta go. I have chronic pain, especially in my back and shoulders, so padding (in the back, not just the straps!) is a must. The lack of back padding is the main reason I'll be returning my Kipling Preferably some sort of canvas material that's water resistant (doesn't have to be waterproof but, again, think of the books!!) and easy enough to clean. I was excited that the Kipling bag was made from recycled material but I'm not a fan of the plastic-y feeling it has I'm fine with solid colors but would love a fun pattern - the limited edition star pattern on Kipling is what got me! I love a celestial print or anything witchy or with bees or frogs. I'm genderqueer so I don't want anything super girly or that leans too far towards one end of the binary. I am not wildly caught up on the look of the bag, as I could always cover it in pins/iron-ons, but I am not a fan of the smooth-front, shell-style bags that are in right now. I want something with a measure of personality! Extra points for creators that are BIPOC, queer, or disabled :) For reference, the backpack I got for actual school use is the Carhartt 28L Foundry Series Dual-Compartment and god DAMN is that the best bag I've ever had. I would gladly carry it daily if it wasn't basically the size of me, that thing is like a bottomless void (/pos). The weight distribution and padding are so on point I could have that thing packed to the brim with gear and overnight stuff and the weight of it barely registers on my body even if I'd tip over leaning too far to the side. It's got extra pockets but then even those pockets have additional little pockets inside. I've also had it for about seven years and it's still in perfect condition. If they had a smaller version of it I would just buy that, no question, but alas I am striving for the organization of a school bag with the size (and look) of an everyday bag. submitted by /u/swordslinger29 to r/AskChicago [link] [comments]

Risk level of keeping this dried canvas drop cloth in my house post-gel oil stain drips?
I used General Finishes’ oil based gel stain for the first time (first oil in general!) for my new bathroom vanity. To protect the ground, I used one of my canvas drop cloths from painting and there are 2 of these lines from applying to the bottom frame edge. It’s been nearly 10 days since the application. Since then, they’ve been laid out flat to dry. Now the question is, do I have to trash it even with the completely dry stain, or can I fold it up and reuse in the future without risk of burning my house down? I’m getting mixed messages from Reddit/internet on whether any material *has* to be trashed once it has some oil-based stain on it. Want to protect my house/me but also not waste a drop cloth if it’s all good. submitted by /u/carinthegrove to r/BeginnerWoodWorking [link] [comments]

Building My Clothing Brand One Piece at a Time, Would Love Your Thoughts on My Latest Drop
I started my small clothing brand a few months ago with one simple goal: make pieces that feel like something you’d actually want to wear every day, not just designs printed onto random blanks. I didn’t come from a fashion background, so most of my learning happened through trial, error, and destroying more samples than I’d like to admit. One thing that changed the direction of my brand was experimenting with different manufacturers. I tried all kinds of blanks heavyweight, lightweight, fleece, jersey, and one of the turning points for me was working with Apliiq. I realized how much difference high-quality base garments make when you’re building a brand from scratch. It wasn’t about slapping a logo on fabric it was about giving the design a canvas that actually supports it. That small shift made me take my whole process more seriously. My latest drop is more personal than anything I’ve done before. I spent weeks sketching patterns, testing embroidery placements, and figuring out the exact weight that feels premium without being stiff. Every piece in this collection has a small detail that reminds me why I started, stitched symbols, a hidden tag message, and colors inspired by the stuff I see every day on my walks. I’m sharing this here because I’d genuinely love feedback from people who understand clothing, branding, and the long nights that go into making something feel right. What do you think about subtle design work versus bold graphics? Do you prefer minimal branding or something that stands out more? submitted by /u/Maximum_Mongoose273 to r/Promoteyourclothing [link] [comments]

has anyone used a drop cloth for a diy tarp?
canvas or cloth based drop sheet? you can get these bigger than a king sheet, which caught my attention.. . infused with silicone rather than wax, though. it is very windy and very very rainy where I live, so I want a bigger than usual tarp so I have a extra available to close up more if necessary. not to mention I'm a fatso with big clumsy feet, so having more space to maneuver is desirable too, even if it means more weight. I know there are some pre-manufactured tarps that are big and lighter than what I'd end up with, but up here in Canuckistan the cost is too much. tho. I have connections and could get a great deal on an XL Hotcore Wingman, but they...oh, I'm wrong. just double checked and the XL has 2 extra gromets on each side plus a web loop on top. the rest only have one gromet per corner and that's a no-go. anyhow, back to diy tarps, what did you make? submitted by /u/MarzipanTheGreat to r/Bushcraft [link] [comments]

Canvas Drop Cloth For Wall Tents
Hi All, I am looking to do a Budget DIY canvas wall tent build for a campsite on my property. Harbor Freight has the best price on Canvas drop cloths. The thing I'm most worried about is the Drop cloth has a 9oz weight per square yard and many market wall tents have a 10 to 10.5 oz per square yard. Would this have a major impact on the durability and heatability? I know it won't be as durable as a purchased tent but it will be about half the price. submitted by /u/TAJ_42 to r/camping [link] [comments]

BWT, tell me about easy, inexpensive habit changes that have significantly improved your quality of life.
ETA: This is a really long post! Personally I love hearing other people's stories and having lengthy discussions. If you hate that and just want the summary, here's the TLDR first. These are nine of my personal favorite "life hacks"—tell us yours! 1) A study found that people given lab coats performed better on tests: look smart, feel smart. Use this principle to stay motivated at home by dressing like a bitch who gets shit done instead of wearing sweatpants around the house. 2) If you know how to sew, stick your sewing machine in your laundry room and just fix / hem / take in garments immediately after washing. Don't tell yourself that you'll get to a tailor eventually and then miss out on wearing your favorite pieces. Having the machine handy keeps your wardrobe fresh. 3) Upgrade your shopping bags to totes with extra long, padded handles so you can comfortably throw all your groceries on one shoulder instead of hands or elbows. 4) If your house has a lot of stairs, do yourself a favor and get a dedicated handheld vacuum. There's no reason to be dragging the upright or canister up the stairs every single time you vacuum them. 5) Unless you're already a ceiling fan person, grab a cute desktop fan and bring it with you room to room. The breeze feels nicer than AC anyway and lets you stop blasting the entire house with frigid climate control. This switch saved me $130+ on my monthly electric bill. 6) If your phone is constantly beeping with text notifications, but you can't silence it in case the text is from a boss or colleague, take 15 minutes to individually assign your work contacts a loud text notification, then put your general text notification as Silent. That way, when your phone beeps at work, you know you're supposed to look at it. 7) If you're struggling to find the right eyeshadow shade for a glowy, minimal look, your favorite blush or bronzer might be it. 8) This one probably doesn't apply if you have kids. Otherwise, don't wait till after dinner to put the leftovers into tupperware and refrigerate them. Put your serving onto your plate and immediately refrigerate any leftovers before you sit down to eat. Reduces the temptation to go back for seconds when you're already full. 9) If you're someone who sleeps through alarms, try light instead of sound. Put a bright lamp on your nightstand and plug it into a wall-plug timer. And now for the insatiable readers and chatty bitches :) This excellent recent post got me thinking about my personal life hacks: simple things I wish somebody had told me to start doing a decade ago that have made my life easier with minimal effort. Not all of mine are free, so they don't belong in the previous discussion, but they were all less than $100. Some of them are just a matter of changing my attitude. I want to hear not just your secret life hacks, but also the success stories behind them. It can be just as hard to start a good habit as it is to break a bad habit, and for me, it's so much easier when I can envision the end goal. Even if it seems way too obvious, please share anyway! Sometimes the answer to a problem is staring you in the face and you still can't see it. Here are the low-effort, high-reward tricks I wish I'd learned ages ago: Motivated bitches with no dirty dishes I used to come home, rip off my work clothes, ditch the bra, and slip into something super comfy—sweatpants, worn-out tee, ancient oversized hoodie, mismatched fuzzy socks. And then I'd maybe watch some TV, grumble my way through "chores" like dishes and laundry, lounge around, go to bed. One day about six months ago, my husband (also wearing sweats) made the offhand comment that we must be slobs, because whenever our neighbors step outside to check the mail or something, they are at least wearing jeans and a properly fitting tee. I got to wondering whether we are the outliers and everyone else really is at home dressed like a sitcom character instead of walking around in pajamas. So I tried it the other way, partially out of pure curiosity and partially because I couldn't get the word "slob" out of my head. I'd come home, take off my work clothes, and put on some nice jeans, cute top, maybe a necklace or bracelet. Is THIS how you unstoppable bitches have been doing it this whole time?! Wearing my nice jeans, I wouldn't dare crawl into bed for some Netflix, so I found myself wandering the house looking for something to do. Washing the dishes or vacuuming seemed easy and obvious. If I needed to run to the grocery store, I didn't dread it because I was already dressed for it. I feel like a completely different person just because I started dressing up as one. Turns out this is a real thing, it's called "enrobed cognition," and I was the last one to get the memo. Your own personal tailor... someone to mend your tears, hemmin' your flares I used to ruin my life with clothing. While folding laundry, if I noticed something damaged or just thought to myself that it didn't suit me anymore, I'd hang it up in the back of the closet and promise to deal with it soon. Of course that never happened and I would find myself with a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. So I'd impulse buy something new and the cycle continued. Meanwhile, my sewing machine sat in the closet, only to be pulled out if I want to make a garment for a special occasion or if I bought new curtains that need hemming. Recently I started tackling the project of decluttering my closet and curating my wardrobe, and I took out my sewing machine and set it up on the end of my laundry folding table. Now, if I find a pair of jeans with one of the belt loops ripped off, or a dress hem coming undone, I just toss in the correct color thread and fix it right then and there. Takes five minutes. If the issue is more time consuming than that, like a pair of pants that fit better 10 pounds ago, or are a bit too long now that I'm in my ankle pants era, I put them in a designated basket next to the sewing machine and come back to them that weekend. My clothes fit better, I feel more stylish and less wasteful, and I don't feel the need to buy new clothes because I actually enjoy wearing the ones already in my closet. Apparently this is ALSO a thing—"shopping your own closet"—and once again, I missed the memo. Bonus round on this one: I've also discovered how cheap and easy it is to dye clothing. Now that I know my best colors, I hate to wear anything that just makes me look blah. Why wear grey ever again when I could absolutely glow in cobalt? But not everything comes in cobalt, coral, and emerald, and I already have otherwise flattering sweaters and dresses in colors that wash me out. Takes me half an hour with a big pot on the stove and a $6 bottle of Rit Dye to get the exact color I want. You don't even have to start with white. Recently I bought a super cute sweater on clearance but it only came in pink. I wanted coral. Threw in a few drops of yellow dye, and now I've added a coral sweater to my Bright Spring capsule wardrobe! One-trip wonder Grocery shopping is a pain in my ass. But I upgraded from my retro-stripe Aldi reusable grocery bags to a few sturdy canvas totes with extra long, ✨padded✨ handles. Now instead of carrying all my grocery bags in my hands or on my elbow, I can comfortably throw them all on my shoulder and still have both hands free for my keys or phone. It also dawned on me that grocery totes don't have to be just literally for the grocery store. I bring them in on every shopping trip now, like at the hardware store or liquor store, and solve the same problem when I'm buying paint, wood glue, or car parts... Simple light bulb moment but it took me long enough. Cleanliness and meowiness We have two cats. Constant vacuuming is not optional. I dread vacuuming the stairs, dragging my stupid upright vac with me—so of course the stairs seem to be where the cat hair accumulates fastest. I finally did myself a favor and spent $89 on one of those little handheld pet vacuums. Now I just do the stairs with that in 90 seconds every day and save the upright for everything else. As a bonus, the handheld vac is perfect for detailing your car. Some Hate it Hot I have saved a fortune on electricity during this heat wave. I used to just blast the climate control throughout the whole house and get hit with a $300+ electric bill. Shame on me, I know. This year I'm just bringing a 10-inch desktop fan with me from room to room. The breeze feels cooler than the AC anyway, and my electric bill is more like $170. When a fan isn't enough, I use the zone settings on the climate control and keeping it a few degrees warmer than I used to. In most of the house I don't run the AC at all, just in our bedroom and bathroom because we both can't sleep when it's hot. Unbothered I have to keep my phone on me at work in case my boss or colleagues call or text me, but it also looks unprofessional to be constantly checking my phone. I used to just silence my notifications so that I'm not looking at it every time it beeps, because the majority of beeps are from friends and family. Instead I'd glance at it every half hour or so to see if I have a work text. Every once in a while I will check it and find out that somebody texted me about something relatively urgent and is now annoyed that I haven't replied for 20 minutes. Sure, they could have called, but is anybody still doing that in 2025? So I finally set aside a few minutes and manually gave all my work contacts a loud text tone, then set everyone else on silent. Now I know for a fact that if my phone beeps, I'm supposed to look at it. And when I'm at home, I can reply to friends or family on my own time, when I want to look at my phone, instead of hearing a beep and feeling the pressure to respond instantly. You're making me blush I've wasted hundreds of dollars trying to find the perfect eyeshadow to achieve that minimal, glowy, barely-there natural makeup. Everything that works on other people seems to be too dark or too dull or too brown. I have spent hours Googling "no makeup looks for fair skin" and "clear spring natural makeup palette" just to find the same unflattering recommendations. Remember I said coral is one of my best colors? I've been barking up the wrong tree. Peachy-coral blush is my perfect eyeshadow, and it brings out the green in my eyes. If you have a blush or bronzer that really makes you glow, it's probably also a candidate for a subtle smokey eye. You can skip the liner, dab it on with your fingers, and tone it down with your blender. Lead us not into temptation I used to cook dinner, put food on my plate, and leave the pan on the stovetop or in the oven. Then I'd wander back to the stove, take another little plateful, eat that, feel way too full, and waddle back to put the leftovers in the fridge. My new and improved routine: if eating alone, like when my husband is working late, I mindfully put food on my plate with the intention of being satisfied but not stuffed, and immediately put all the rest into a tupperware and stick it in the fridge. Empty pan goes right into the dishwasher before I even sit down to eat. When he gets home, he can take it out of the fridge to reheat. If we're eating together, I fix a plate for each of us and I know he will want seconds, so I leave exactly enough in the pan for his portion, then immediately tupperware and refrigerate the rest. If it's not right there in my line of sight, still hot and way too convenient, it takes away my temptation to go back and keep grazing. I feel so much better in the evenings when I'm not feeling full and bloated after dinner. Bonus on this one: breaking news, feeling full and bloated every evening is terrible for your sex life. The tupperware trick is also a relationship hack. Get lit I've always had to wake up at 5 am for work. I have also managed to sleep through a tornado touching down half a mile from my house, so you can imagine how easy it is for me to sleep through even the loudest alarm. So embarrassing. On some trip years ago, I got on the plane and immediately fell asleep after takeoff like I always do, and then woke up instantly when they turned the cabin lights back on before landing. I realized I always wake up when the lights come on. So I ditched the alarm clock and put a crazy bright lamp on my nightstand, then plugged it into a wall-plug timer. Never overslept my alarm again. Career blosssomed. ...if you got through all of these, congratulations. I hope they inspire you to live your best life in good health and good taste. Now tell the rest of us bitches your own overnight success stories and lightbulb moments. submitted by /u/imissyoursoup to r/bitcheswithtaste [link] [comments]

Luffy has a design problem (1046)
Gear 5 luffy has a design problem No, this isn't edgy vs goofy argument, i'm talking about contrast. design contrast As yamato said, luffy's hair & clothes turned white in gear 5. Hence, removing his signature black hair and red shirt. Now, forget about that, he could be just any color but what most important is what he looks like in black & white manga. white luffy Oda designed most of his character with some black value in them. Including some color-coded white characters like garp. He did this so he can put his character in any kind of situation, setting, angle, without obscuring them. His characters will always stand out. black ink It may sounds obvious since a lot manga did the same. But for one piece, it his everything. Especially for the main character. Luffy is small, so does Oda's paneling, yet the world & his enemies are huge. But thanks to this black value, in every panel luffy will always grab our attention. chapter 543 This gear 5 doesn't have that. Just look at some of this panels and compared to his normal design. It's the opposite of what Oda always did. original vs edited However, I think Oda did this purposely. The setting In contrast to Oda's characters, his background/setting will be mostly white. No matter how detailed it was, it will always compliment the characters. This time however, the fight takes place in an open night sky (screentone), it's a great contrast to gear 5 design. screentoned sky This is why Oda changes Luffy design. From now on his final battles will takes place at night or darker setting. Imagine this luffy fights blackbeard with darkness in the background. The darker the setting, the brighter luffy is. Fitting for someone who will brings the dawn. blackbeard Adaptability Another angle to look at gear 5 design is it's basically a blank canvas. Oda can fills it with ink anywhere he wanted. At first I thought it would be completed with haki. However, in the last 3 chapters we didn't see any coating (black lightning only). no coating Then, the last panel dropped. Luffy holding a lightning, sparking intense shading on his body. It reminds me with Oda's old shading pre time skip. If luffy still had his usual design, it will looked like this with Oda's current shading. old vs current shading I wouldn't be surprised if luffy also can hold fire like King and creating the same shading (black ink). Maybe even a lunarian skin (screentone). Oda literally can do whatever he wanted. So, it isn't a stretch to say, this gear 5 really is Luffy's freest form ever. submitted by /u/kapteninsting to r/OnePiece [link] [comments]

I made an oilskin pouch from a canvas drop cloth. It’s my first time stitching, so it’s very bad.

Need a disposable drop cloth for a project? Buy a new shower curtain liner and use your old one as a drop cloth before tossing instead of buying a single use plastic drop cloth.
A heavy duty (2-3 mil thick) 9'x12' drop cloth at the hardware store is about the same price +/- $1 as a shower curtain liner from a store like Target or Fred Meyer (aka Kroger). A shower curtain liner is smaller than 9'x12', but if it's big enough to suit your needs you can get a new liner and reduce your use of single use plastics for about the same cost as a single use drop cloth. submitted by /u/wiredandwiser to r/Frugal [link] [comments]
