Get the look of luxury for less with our premium Faux Leather. This vegan material is a great alternative to genuine leather or cork fabric due to its price point, durability, ease of maintenance, and resistance to moisture.

Sallie Tomato Faux Leather is soft, pliable, and comes in seven textures: Weave, Pebble, Legacy, Alligator, Crocodile, Ostrich, and Lite. Use it for a variety of projects including bags, upholstery, home decor, craft projects, and apparel. 

  • Size: 1mm thick, at least 25” wide by length of fabric purchased 
  • Fiber Content: 50% PU and 50% Polyester
  • Recommended Needle: A 80/12 denim needle is recommended, with a longer stitch length such as 2.5mm or 3mm.

  • Recommended Presser Foot:  A Teflon foot or roller foot is helpful when sewing with this material. 
  • Ironing: Do not iron faux leather.

    WANT MATCHING THREAD? We recommend using Sulky 40 wt Poly Deco thread for sewing with this material. It’s durable for all types of projects, and it’s great for both construction and topstitching. It has a shine for a professional finish. Thread 1040 matches this fabric. You can purchase here.

    It's helpful to understand the difference between faux leather and vinyl when shopping for fabric. There are two major types of faux leather: vinyl-based and polyurethane-based. Our faux leather is polyurethane-based. Vinyl-based is dyed plastic. Examples are marine vinyl and clear vinyl. Polyurethane-based is made by coating natural fabrics like cotton or polyester, then treating it to look like real leather. This type of faux leather is more soft, flexible, and breathable than vinyl-based leather.

    Faux leather is sold in 1/4 yard (9 inch) increments. We will cut a continuous piece if available. This material measures 25-27″ wide.

    In order to maintain this fabric’s quality, our faux leather fabric is rolled, sealed in a plastic bag, and packaged to protect it during shipping. We will never fold this fabric to prevent creases. 

    If you feel the need to iron out any wrinkles, set your iron to a LOW or SYNTHETIC heat setting. You can carefully iron faux leather from the WRONG SIDE of the fabric, using a press cloth. Do not use any steam – it will detach the bond.

    It is recommended to start each project with a new needle. Use a Denim Needle, size 90/14 or 80/12 to sew through faux leather! Use Sewing Clips instead of pins, because pins will leave holes in your faux leather. 


    If you’re finding that your fabric is sticking to your foot, you have a few options. First, you can change your presser foot to either a Teflon foot or a roller foot. If you don't have a Teflon or roller foot, add a small piece of matte tape to the bottom of your presser foot. Otherwise, you can add a layer of tissue paper between your foot and your fabric while you sew to prevent sticking. The tissue paper can be torn away after sewing.
