Thanks guys, so the consensus is that it is too green/bright. I'm happy to go along with whatever you all say because I have a bit of trouble with these colour groups due to mild colour blindness
To be honest I hadn't even thought about dying/painting/weathering at this point, I was just thinking I needed the right colour fabric. But I actually have a few fabric paints in greens and browns leftover from a previous project so I can probably put those to use!
So, with that in mind, what about starting with this as a base:
https://www.spotlightstores.com/by-the-metre/pure-cotton-duck/p/BP80259378-latte
(Same fabric as before, but in the colour "latte")
Yep! I'm located in South Australia Haha, unfortunately my local Spotlight closed uh...about a year ago I believe. It could be a while before a trip anywhere else so for now, online it is.
I had a look at the Brighton one and it does look like a completely different colour on the website compared to your pic! So that could be an option too, thanks

Hey a fellow Kiwi!! Or maybe an Aussie?? Either way, Spotlight represent!! :lol I got my fabric for Rey's resistance bag from Spotlight, from the upholstery section - I'm a VIP and scored a 40% off voucher, so I managed to get the fabric a wee bit cheaper - totally worthwhile when buying upholstery fabric!! It's called "Brighton Cotton Canvas" in the "Linen" color, 150cm width. On Spotlight's website the color looks very beige, so I don't know if maybe the sales assistant put a different color in when ringing it up?? But this is the color of my bag:

It's got a bit more green in it in real life, a khaki canvas color. This was just taken in terrible lighting at midnight :lol
