Cork is the bark of the cork-oak tree which grows mainly in Mediterranean regions, such as Portugal. The bark is extracted and the tree renews itself, making cork a natural, recyclable and environmentally friendly product.
This natural cork fabric, or cork leather as it's often called, is perfect for making bags & wallets. It's backed with a thin layer of fabric similar to a faux leather. It's thin enough to easily sew on any domestic machine. It's pliable, bendable and easy to cut too! Just like with leathers and vinyls I recommend clipping instead of pinning. I also like to interface my cork leather for most projects (not wallets) using Decor Bond #809, my preferred choice in interfacing. You can cut it, iron it front & back (Except Unicorn Tears - DO NOT iron front or you will damage it) and sew it like any other fabric. It's very durable, wears extremely well, and doesn't fray. I use my regular foot, thread and settings with no issues on my Janome 7700.
All cork sold through Sew Many Creations is imported from Portugal.
Cork is available in many different colors & prints in 5 different sizes:
9" x 12"
9" x 27"

The 9" x 12" is perfect for an accent piece or making the outside of a Diva, Prima Diva,
Mini Diva or Everly Backpack base.
The 9" x 27" is great for the base of a purse or tote.
18" x 27" is the perfect size for the bottom of a Tourist Tote Bag or All Around Tote. It's also perfect for the handles & accents of Harper Handbag or Abby Sling.
