This invention provides a silicone-coated fabric for airbags in which creases can be easily formed by applying heat and pressure, and that can be stored compactly. More specifically, the invention provides a silicone-coated fabric comprising a silicone-based resin coated on one surface of a synthetic fiber woven fabric, and a thermoplastic resin adhering to a non-silicone coated surface, which is not coated with the silicone-based resin, wherein the adhesive strength between the non-silicone coated surfaces is 0.01 to 100 N/cm.
