Interesting. I would love to hear what you think of this after you sew it up. Intweresting that you would post this. I was just thining about it. Someone in my guild sewed a purse from it last year at retreat. I keep meaning to ask her how it held up etc. It looked pretty stiff to sew with. She said it was supposed to loosen up the more you played with it. She said it was supposed to look and wear similar to leather.
