About Splash Fabrics!

Meet Tracy, CEO of Splash Fabrics!

"I’m Tracy Krauter, founder of Splash Fabric, makers of extraordinary, laminated cotton fabric and sewn goods. Our line is for fellow makers: crafters, gardeners, cooks, sewists, kids, other mess makers. 

I won the Singer Sewing Contest in 6th grade with a double-knit pant suit! When I had kids, I made all their clothes, and birthed my first business. When I needed easy to clean fabric for the messes life and kids bring, I searched for laminated fabric. In 2016, not finding the prints I wanted to see, I dove off an entrepreneurial cliff, learned surface pattern design and created the only woman owned laminated cotton fabric company using our own prints. Today there are 28+ prints, and more in the works all the time.

As a former Park Ranger, I believe sustainability is essential, so our fabric is OEKO-TEX certified and biodegradable. Our eco-friendly, non-toxic “Not Your Grandma’s Oilcloth" is unique in the market. It's matte finish, 58” width and fresh designs are irresistible.

A mother of 3 boys, my goal is to save you (and me) from doing more laundry.

Don’t be afraid to sew with laminated cotton - it's easy to sew! Use a Denim sharp or Schmetz non-stick needle, a longer than normal stitch length (3-3.5), and a thicker thread for bags. No need for a Teflon foot, or other gizmos. It glides through the machine-like regular cotton. 

The best zippers and hardware for your bags? Sallie Tomato, of course! Try it, you’ll love it!"
