sunbrella
When your project has to live outdoors, Sunbrella fabric is a familiar name to know. Known for solution-dyed acrylic construction, it's a popular choice for patio cushions, throw pillows, awnings, and boat seating, anywhere color and durability face sun, moisture, and everyday wear.
Why Choose Sunbrella Outdoor Fabric
Solution-dyed fibers carry their color through the whole yarn rather than just on the surface, which is why this type of outdoor upholstery fabric is valued for holding its look season after season. It's also prized for being easy to care for, so it's an appealing option for busy households and coastal homes alike.
What to Look For
- Weight and weave: Heavier canvas suits awnings and canopies, while softer weaves feel better on seat cushions and pillows.
- Pattern scale: Bold stripes and large prints shine on loungers; smaller patterns work well on pillows.
- Intended use: Check whether a fabric is best for upholstery, shade, or marine projects before you cut.
Project Ideas
Refresh dining chair pads, sew a new porch swing cushion, or stitch coordinating pillows to tie your patio together. Many sewists also use it indoors for kid- and pet-friendly furniture.
