Description
10.10 oz. Army Duck Waxed Canvas Fabric – Bodacious Pink
Bodacious Pink is a bold pink Army Duck waxed canvas made from 100% cotton. At 10.10 oz. per square yard and 58 inches wide, this tightly woven cotton duck has a medium hand that gives bag panels body and lets gussets, pockets, and aprons flex. Its wax finish helps light rain and splashes bead on the surface.
Use Bodacious Pink for the entire bag or give a neutral design a single hit of color with a zip pocket, base panel, or set of handles. The matte surface develops visible crease marks and a natural patina with handling. The wax finish is documented as safe for food contact.
Sold by the linear yard. Continuous rolls are available up to 60 yards. Orders of 10 yards or more ship on a roll. Orders of 9 yards or less ship folded.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Bodacious Pink waxed canvas for a color-blocked bag?
Yes. Use the pink for the front panel, pocket, or gusset and pair it with a second canvas for the rest of the bag. Test a seam where the two fabrics meet to check how the layers feed and how the colors look together.
Can I use the same canvas for a bag body and self-fabric handles?
Yes. Fold and stitch a scrap to match the handle construction in your pattern. Test the thickest point, where the handle attaches to the bag body, before sewing the finished piece.
How should I mark pattern pieces on pink waxed canvas?
Test your marking tool on a scrap first, since marks can linger on the waxed surface. Mark on the reverse side or within the seam allowance. Pattern weights and sewing clips can help keep pieces in place while you work.
Can I check the pink against my zipper tape or lining before ordering?
Yes. Order a fabric sample to compare Bodacious Pink with your zipper tape, webbing, and lining in your own lighting. Rub the swatch against any pale trim to check for visible dye or wax transfer.
How do I plan yardage for a matching tote and pouch set?
Lay out both patterns within the 58-inch fabric width, including pockets, handles, and any pieces you need to cut twice. One linear yard measures 36 inches by 58 inches. Ordering the full amount together helps keep the pieces in the same dye lot.
Will fold lines show on Bodacious Pink?
They can. Bending the fabric can leave visible marks in the wax. Lay out the yardage before cutting so you can place large front panels where you want them. Orders of 10 yards or more ship on a roll. Orders of 9 yards or less ship folded.
Is Bodacious Pink waxed canvas suitable for a market bag that might get caught in the rain?
The wax finish helps light rain and splashes bead on the surface. Moisture can still enter through seams and openings or soak through with prolonged exposure.
How do I clean and re-wax a finished Bodacious Pink bag?
Brush off loose dirt or rinse with cool water. Spot-clean with a very soft brush and mild soap or saddle soap, then air-dry. When the finish wears, test a compatible fabric wax on a scrap or hidden area and follow its application instructions. See our waxed canvas care guide.
