I have purchased cork but have been so hesitant to use it. I am hoping this little tutorial will give me the push to jump in.

Thank you for your message—we’re so glad you found the How to Sew with Cork Fabric tutorial! It’s completely normal to feel hesitant with a new material, but cork is such a rewarding one to work with. We hope the tutorial gives you that gentle nudge and the confidence to dive in.

You’ve already taken the first step by purchasing cork, and we can’t wait to see what you create with it. If you ever have questions or want to share your finished project, we’d love to cheer you on! Please join our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group in Facebook for more inspiration.

Happy sewing

Sewing with Cork

A couple of years ago I bought a yard of cork "fabric" from Sallie Tomato at a sewing expo. Since I've looked at it admiringly but had no idea what to do with it or how to work with it. In May, I admired and bought a cork fanny pack in Lisbon, using it during the remainder of the trip and LOVED it. When I got home I vowed to make my sister a fanny pack using the cork I'd previously purchased and it turned out great. The how-to sew with cork download made it easy to assemble my project, detailing needle, thread and other needs such as stitch length, sewing foot, etc. I made my own pattern,enlarged to accommodate her large phone, using the pack purchased in Lisbon. My sister's pack turned out great!
