Can I use fabric paint on this bag? Does it shrink with washing?

It seemed to me that any shrinkage would be none or minimal. I used very tepid water. I think these would be the perfect medium for stenciling or fabric painting. Enjoy your project.

I can say the bags do not shrink. Fabric paint probably yes, it is ok. The biggest thing we notice are the bags are really loose when trying to fill them at the store. So my wife purchased some rug hook plastic material and sewed them to make a box, insert them into the bags while filling and pull them out when full. No bottom in these just the four walls. We like the bags because you can wash them many times.

Can't advise on fabric paint. Advised not to tumble dry, but did anyway. Slight shrinkage. I use the bags for groceries, including meat, so they get washed after shopping. Pleased with quality.

It is not pre-washed but when I washed and dried it I did not notice shrinking. You have to wash it when you get it to get all the starch out.

Yes. Washes and dries very well. I dried it on medium heat. There was no shrinkage or loss of shape. It was actually nicer after being laundered.

Virginia, I dried it in the dryer only until it was slightly damp, then let it hang until completely dry. I noticed very little, if any, shrinkage. It seemed to have a bit of a twist but ithat didn't affect the usability. It's a delightful fabric to work and produced exactly what I was hoping for. I've bought it multiple times. If you have a stretch stitch (straight or otherwise), I highly recommend using it.

I haven't gotten any stains on it yet. :) I sprayed the canvas part of the bag with scotch-gard fabric & upholstery protector.. And the other day when I spilled juice on it, it rolled right off and didn't stain! I would recommend doing that if you're worried about stains. It's an awesome bag!! We love it.

It does not shrink. When it is washed it lays flat. Not sure the fabric is . It is soft and lays nice on the bed. Fits really nice. Tis is a great value! I have 2.

We have washed them many times, and I would say there is very little shrinkage. But, I do wash in cold water, and tumble dry on low. They are really strong bags. We love them.

no it did not shrink, however I did take it to the laundrymat and used their dryer on a low setting, it took a long time to dry

Yes--place it in a mesh laundry bag to protect it is my recommendation...mine washes perfectly fine, especially needed after a long trip to our local grocery store

Yes! I've washed this bag (in delicate, cold water with Dreft) and even put it on the delicate cycle in the dryer and it looks brand new!! I have also washed the changing pad the same way and it's in great condition. So thankful for a diaper bag I can wash. The hardware is still in good shape and all elastic on pockets and my bag has been used for almost 17 months. I also get many compliments on how much it looks like a purse

Info with bag does not specify - I have not yet washed it, but it certainly looks washable. As a matter of fact, I am planning to wash this week-end and will do so in cold water.

What a great question. This bag may have some cotton in the inner lining, but it dries quickly. I can tell you when washing the bag It does not need a really long time to dry in my dryer. My son uses it for camping trips and it is really warm and comfortable. He does both scouts and medieval camping and absolutely loves this bag. It is one of the best bags I have purchased. It is well worth the money.

It is not washable, in my experience. It is a permanent fabric paint. I personally would not purchase this product again. The applicator bottles are messy and imprecise.

The bags look to be a heavy canvas so i don't see why not. I personally wouldn't dry them in the dryer, worrying about shrinkage. The handles remove easily so that isn't an issue.

No it doesn't shrink when washed. Love this skirt especially for travel, it's so comfortable, packable and light weight. I have it in two colors.

I would say u could test it out on something like a piece of wood but this is fabric medium so the idea is to make the paint softer for fabrics. For a wash I believe u can use some water with paint.
