My top tips for sewing with this cork:
I love this cork for bag making. I don’t interface it, but sometimes I add stabiliser, depending on amount of structure I want the bag to have. For fusible stabiliser, make sure you place the iron on the stabiliser not the cork, and fuse on a lower heat with no steam. Don’t put the iron directly onto the cork. For your first time, test on an offcut first, to ensure you have the right heat settings. I find it sews best using a Microtex needle, usually size 90. And I recommend using a Teflon/ultra-glide presser foot, or if you don’t have one you can put scotch tape on the bottom of your standard presser foot. This will prevent the presser foot from gripping to the cork. In the long term, cork never wears well on sharp corners so I recommend avoiding using it on box corners. Instead, using it for curved gussets, curved panels and feature panels. It’s a beautiful and eco friendly fabric that looks stunning on any bag.

This is no ordinary cork – it’s a super waterproof and wear-resistant natural cork material, boasting a thickness of approximately 0.9mm.
