Love this fabric. I’ve never used cork, but I do want to try this. I have lots of quilting cotton, because I quilt. I have just started making bags, with cotton and vinyl. This looks so simple. Thank you. You’re doing a great job on this. A little fast, but I can slow it down or just stop and rewatch. It’ll work.
I love your tutorials. I made one today. I didn't have too many issues until the very last step. I have a Janome Memory Craft 7700. I had trouble with the material sliding while going around the corners. On the last step, I had trouble getting the material to feed properly. I tried several different feet, changed the pressure. Finally ended up placing the wallet flap side up and the flap pulled out of the way. Using my clear F foot and removing that extra layer finally did the trick. Yay me!
I have looked and looked for a tutorial on faux leather. I didn’t know about cork really until I started trying to find the tutorials. I really have such a hard time with turning fabric projects (arthritic hands), I just feel this will be so much easier. I don’t think though that my machine is strong enough but I’ll see. Thank you so much for your time. 😊
I have cork and been afraid to use it. Thanks so very much. Your technique and presentation are superior. I love the explanations - the reasons you offer for decisions. K
I love this wallet!! Took your class last year at SME and loved it. Had so much fun making this, that I bought a couple of the kits too!! Made awesome gifts! Thank you
This is going to be my first cork project. Just received my shipment of gorgeous cork from your shop. Can’t wait to try it. You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you!
Hi Jessica, first of all I want to say that I love how clear you explain every step of your sewing techniques, tips and tricks. I'm just into sewing this year and I'm glad I'm stumbled upon your videos channel. Could please let me know where do you buy the colorful cork fabrics you use in this video. Thanks! Happy sewing!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 All of the supplies that I use can be found on my website which is linked in my bio as well as the beginning and end of each video: sewmanycreationsny.com
I loved this project. This was my first cork project. The only problem I had was marking where the magnet goes on the flap. In the video, you demonstrated how to mark the cork by pressing down on the magnet prongs. I struggled with it and measured it incorrectly. The magnet works fine, but since it's a little off, the flap is not flat. I have to pull down on the flap to close the magnet. Do you have any suggestions or measurements I could use to mark the magnet placement on the flap? I just finished the Charlotte pouch and absolutely love it. I'm a newbie and felt pretty proud of how it came out. LOVE your patterns. Thanks for such great tutorials too!!!
Thank you so much for this project. Your instructions are wonderful……Can’t wait to try to make one. Thank you….Where did you purchase the light teal cork??……love the color……
Hi! Thanks for the great video and free pattern! So excited to make this. Your video makes every step so clear. I saw the cute little wrist strap in the photo on your website. I can't quite tell what the length and width is. And is the cork single thickness or double thickness? Thanks so much!
It’s a scrap that measured 12” x 1”. I folded it in half so it was 1/2” wide and topstitched. Then I used a rivet to add it on. Sorry I forgot to mention it in the video!
I have played with it a bit but it’s not for me. I find it tedious but I love when others do it 😂 If I’m going to finish my edges I just use fabric fusion.
It was all going so well…until my machine started making a rhythmic clunk every so often as the needle went into the cork. First time sewing with cork so I wasn’t sure what was going on. Then the upper thread snapped. Taking a closer look I realized that there was something sticky on the needle. Long story short, I was using the double sided tape to hold the pocket and that’s what was gumming up the needle. Had to tear out two pocket layers and fight the gummed up adhesive of my make. First time using double sided tape before, too. Anyone else experienced defective tape?
It’s beautiful 😍. I’ve never made anything out of Cork but I want to. So, I’m going to try this little beauty. Thank you so much 👏👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this tutorial and the free Pattern. I will be using my cork fabric for this; since I belong to a monthly cork subscription box.
This is just lovely. Your very organized and detailed but quick teaching style is wonderful. No fluff. Thank you for sharing so graciously.
I made this wallet today and this is one of the BEST tutorials EVER. You make things EASY to follow! Thank you.

Can you raise you feed dogs or lower your pressure foot? That would help.

Thank you was a awesome tutorial now I want more cork lol
Beautiful!! Can’t wait to make this wallet!
If you use a lighter lightly around the edge of the cork, it will take care of all the little threads.
Great tutorial.Thanks for sharing.
Another awesome video and pattern! Thank you
Great instructions
I have made one. came out nice.
Awesome pattern. Thank you!

Hi! What magnetic snaps do you use, and where do you purchase them? Thank you for your help!
I did it ! Wish I could add a picture
You can always email one!

Love this! Will u be getting that blue floral back in stock? I want lol
I meant the one u sew with in this video
Great tutorial! You mentioned edge coating. Do you used leather edge coat?
I have played with it a bit but it’s not for me. I find it tedious but I love when others do it 😂 If I’m going to finish my edges I just use fabric fusion.
Have you thought of adding htv to make a lining?
Do I see a fabulous kit in our future??
Maybe!
can I add one more cards pocket?
Can you add a wristlet strap too?
Sure!
why did you say cut 9x27 . when you use 8x10 for zipper. and 8x7.5 . and and 4for credit cards
May I ask where you purchased those printed Cork fabrics from.
They’re on my website 😊
SewManyCreationsNY.com
Can you use a 2 1/2 inch circle ruler to make the curves instead of the paper template?
Does edgecoat need a basecoat?
What size needle do you use on your machine I have a janome hd3000
I use a 90/14. I typically like a microtex needle or a topstitch over a universal. You will have no issues with your HD 3000 and this wallet!
It was all going so well…until my machine started making a rhythmic clunk every so often as the needle went into the cork. First time sewing with cork so I wasn’t sure what was going on. Then the upper thread snapped. Taking a closer look I realized that there was something sticky on the needle.

First time using double sided tape before, too. Anyone else experienced defective tape?
Yes, tape can always gum up your needle. Basting tape might work better.
To make one like you did, how size of the main cork does it take? It's beautiful.
I used a 9x27 and a 9x12 with some leftover. All the information and cutting can be found on the Tutorials page of my website 😊
Can you please tell me where you get that beautiful cork for these ?
My website 😊
SewManyCreationsNY.com
Thank you so much will be ordering tonight🤗💖
What’s the material that goes in between the fabric? And stiffened the fabric for wallets…
Do you mean interfacing? This wallet doesn’t use any since it’s made from cork which has a backing fabric already on it.
Do you do your edge coat last?
Do you have any videos for help to sew along a curve? Thanks!
Not at this time but I am working on more videos.
I cannot find the printed instructions.
Sorry, just found it.
Where can I get edge coat
I use Angelus from Amazon or Giardini from Buckle Guy.
Your link to the pattern is broken!

I updated the name of the page on my website, that’s all.
It’s beautiful 😍. I’ve never made anything out of Cork but I want to. So, I’m going to try this little beauty. Thank you so much 👏👌👌👌👌😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
