Title: Where will I find decent faux leather?
Post by: Acorn on August 03, 2022, 10:45:08 AM

I have a couple of embroidery machine patterns for coasters made in faux leather - like these:

I don't want to use real leather because it won't react well to being wet all the time, but faux leather that looks like this would be great.  Does anyone know a supplier?

I've made similar coasters in the past using cork fabric and also faux suede rather as the faux leather always seems to have a ' plasticy ' shine on it.

I get it from a facebook seller, "Man Made UK Machine Embroidery Crafts Sewing Support Sales", look on the "Media" tab then "Albums" for what they have, or just ask them, they are pretty good at seeing requests.
