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!
