nylon fabric remnants
Nylon fabric remnants are one of the smartest buys for any sewist who makes bags, pouches or outdoor gear. These leftover cuts deliver the strength, light weight and quick-drying performance nylon is known for, in sizes that are just right for small projects, repairs and prototypes.
Why Sew With Nylon Remnants
Nylon resists abrasion, sheds water well and holds its shape, so even modest nylon fabric pieces can become hard-working items. Remnants also let you try a new weave or color without committing to a full bolt.
Popular Project Ideas
- Zipper pouches, stuff sacks and packing cubes
- Patches and repairs for jackets, tents and backpacks
- Dog leash pouches, bike bags and lunch totes
- Test pieces before cutting into larger yardage
What to Look For
Check the weave first: ripstop nylon scraps have a grid pattern that stops small tears from spreading, while plain-weave nylon offers a smoother face. Coated nylon fabric adds water resistance for rain gear and dry bags. Note each remnant's dimensions so your pattern pieces fit, and use a sharp needle and polyester thread for clean seams.
