Waterproof Oxford (WPO) fabric is fantastic for either as a lining or as an outer fabric. 

WPO is a nylon composite fabric with a Threads Per Inch (TPI) density of 380T (the total number of warp and weft threads in a square inch). Think of it like thread count in bedding.  The standard thread count for bed sheets is 180 threads per inch, with 300-600 thread count being considered as an ideal range for durability.   

Oxford fabric is known for it's tensile strength, resistance to tearing and abrasion. 

Waterproof Oxford's characteristics:

- No pre-washing required, but also probably no washing in general required as you can just wipe this fabric clean. 
- You don't need to interface it (unless your pattern calls for mega structure).  It's a woven fabric with no stretch, and it has a solid white polyurethane backing that gives it a medium weight that holds its shape well.   
- You can iron it on a low setting to remove any folds or creases.
- It's thin, doesn't fray, and can be sewn on a domestic with a 90/14 Microtex needle and polyester or nylon thread.
- It's non-directional, meaning you can turn it which ever way you want when placing your pattern pieces on it (unless the print itself is directional, that is.)
- It's waterproof! You can make make-up bags, pencil cases, backpacks and luggage bags, outerwear (think human or dog raincoats), place mats, beach totes, lunch bags, diaper bags, reusable sanitary napkin pouches.... 
- I'd recommend using mini-clips rather than pins, unless you pin inside the seam allowance, if you are making something designed to be waterproof.

WPO ships folded, bagged and labeled (store any reusable-sized scraps in it!), in pre-cut in 18" (half yard) lengths, with a possible 1/2" variance from one end to the other.  The WOF (width of fabric) is approximately 56".  (46cm x 140cm)
