VIDEO: How to Use Odicoat to Make your Fabric Waterproof

In this demonstration, I will show you how to use Odicoat for Fabric. This product will make your fabric waterproof or waterresistant, and is great for making cosmetic bags, lunch bags, and more. Shrinkage to your fabric is likely to occur, so make sure that you rought-cut your fabric slightly larger than your pattern pieces in order to account for any shrinkage, then cut to the correct size after the Odicoat has dried.

    Hello Sara,

    I was wondering if you think one could use the Odicoat on an already made little bag?

    Thanks,
    Lani

      Hi Lani! I have not personally tried that, so I’m not sure. Thank you!

    Hello – does this coating cause any issues with iron stabilizer -or do I iron on the stabliizer first before treating the fabric Thank you

    1. Sara Lawson says:

      Hi Elizabeth, I think you should be okay to use an iron-on stabilizer, I would suggest testing a small swatch of fabric with it first (and make sure the iron doesn’t touch the right side of the fabric). Thank you!
