What is DayFlex?
DayFlex is a bonded poly-nylon fabric available in vibrant prints and solid colours. What makes it special: a thin, smooth layer is permanently fused to the back of the fabric – adding stability, structure, and a polished feel without needing interfacing.
Why bag makers love DayFlex
- Water-resistant – wipes clean with a damp cloth, perfect for bags that live in real life
- Super-smooth surface – feeds beautifully through your sewing machine with no fussing
- Stable, no-fray bonded backing – no shifting, fraying, or stretching while you cut or sew
- Built-in structure – your bags hold their shape without needing fusible interfacing
- Strong but soft – durable enough for daily-use bags, soft enough to sew through with ease
- Print quality is unmatched – vibrant, saturated colours that don't fade
What the bonded backing actually does for you
The bonded backing is the secret sauce. It adds stability and structure so your fabric isn't floppy – even without interfacing – and it makes cutting and sewing easier because the fabric doesn't fray or stretch while you work. Less prep, fewer steps, better results.
What you can make with DayFlex
Pretty much anything. Gym bags, market totes, travel bags, weekenders, laptop sleeves, computer cases, crossbodies, diaper bags, lunch bags, project bags, makeup bags, fanny packs, kid backpacks, organizers, pouches – DayFlex works for it all. Use it as your bag exterior for that wipeable, polished finish, or use it as your lining for an upgraded interior that feels just as good as the outside.
Pair it with…
DayFlex has a matching zipper tape for almost every print and solid – pop into our Silver Coil, or Bronze Coil, collections to find your perfect colour match.
