Sewing with "cork fabric"
 

Some time ago I got the book "Nähen mit Kork" : "Sewing with Cork" to make a little review about it!It sounds very interesting, the cork fabric fells a little bit like soft leather, you can cut it, sew it, wash it...
Before I got this book I never heard of cork fabric...
This little basket is my first try with this material!

I think it's best for little baskets, for bags in any size, place mats.....
Anyone there who has also experience with this fabric?

I have never heard of cork fabric. I think your little basket is cute as can be. It does look like cork.

Wow! Thanks for posting this, how very interesting! I have no experience with cork fabric yet. I would be interested in where you were able to find the cork material. I've searched around and it sure is expensive to buy by the meter!

It is cork, real cork! It is very thin cork and it is brought on a backing material! It is not fabric looking like cork!

I've never heard of this and it's so very interesting. Your little basket is perfect - I love that look - the fabric you selected to go with the cork is so pretty.

That is so cool! Enjoyed looking through your blog too!

Very neat! Have not heard of cork fabric. I hope to try working with it in the future. Your basket is great!

where do you get it and what's the price point?
is it flexible enough for regular sewing? Thanks
your basket is nice.

Your basket is great.

Love this! The wheels in my head are starting to turn...

great basket never heard of cork fabric!

Sweet! Where did you find it?

Never heard of it either. Love your basket!!!!!!

I have used cork laminate (about 1/4" thick) but never seen cork fabric. Great looking basket.

I really like the natural look of it. Your basket looks very sturdy and useable for many purposes. Thanks for posting, reviewing, and posting a photo.

I have never heard of cork fabric. That is awesome.

Interesting, never heard of this before.

WOW! That's just amazing. Thanks for sharing. Nice workmanship on the basket you made. Keep sharing! Love the idea of the cork.

Toll!. This is really neat.

I love your cork fabric basket. What a nice job!

Your basket is great! Love the cork fabric.

Thank you for this inspiration, it is hoch interessant. When I googled sewing with cork in either englisch or german, I found lots of intresting patterns and information.

I love your basket. Thanks for sharing as I did not know about this product.

Nice cork fabric basket.

And something else to show: I sewed two placemats and two little coasters because this cork fabric is very expensive so that every scrap must be used!
