Category: Cork Fabric

This premium, cork fabric, also known as cork leather, is easy-to-sew through, pliable, and durable. Cork fabric has a similar handle to faux leather or genuine leather because it is soft, smooth, and pliable.  It is not hard or brittle. 

Its unique properties, eco-friendliness, and aesthetic appeal make it a versatile material for various projects. It can be used for bags, straps and handles, wallets, craft projects, applique, embroidery, home decor, and more. 

Our high-quality cork fabric consists of a thin layer of 100% cork adhered to a fabric support backing, which is often a blend of polyester, cotton, and polyurethane. Our cork fabric can be found in a variety of thicknesses, textures, prints, and colors. 

    • Size: .4mm thick, at least 25” wide by length of fabric purchased  
    • Fabric Backing: 50% Nylon, 50% PU
    • Recommended Needle: A 80/12 microtex or topstitch needle is recommended, with a longer stitch length such as 2.5mm or 3mm.
    • Recommended Thread: 40 wt polyester thread
      • Recommended Presser Foot:  A Teflon foot or roller foot is helpful when sewing with this material. 
      • Ironing: Use a medium temperature, ironing from the backside. Apply steam to help relax the fabric and remove creases. 
      • How to Wash Cork: Simply wipe clean with soap and water periodically.

        WANT MATCHING THREAD? We recommend using Sulky 40 wt Poly Deco thread for sewing with this material. It’s durable for all types of projects, and it’s great for both construction and topstitching. It has a shine for a professional finish. Thread #1130 matches this fabric. You can purchase here.

        Brian P. ★★★★★

        The natural texture is so much more forgiving than synthetic leather when I'm sewing curves, and it presses flat without any fuss. My tote bag feels sturdy but not stiff, exactly what I needed.

        Owen A. ★★★★★

        I've sewn with faux leather before and this cork was way easier to feed through my machine, no skipped stitches at all. The handle is soft but still sturdy, so my wallet project holds its shape nicely. Definitely buying more for a tote next.

        Mia H. ★★★★★

        The chevron pattern on this cork fabric is subtle enough that it doesn't fight with the rest of my project. Sewed through it on my machine without any skipped stitches, and it has that soft leather feel without the weight.
