I remember an article on it in one of the US sewing or craft or DIY magazines a few years ago. It's fuzzy for me, but I think the article was mostly like: "Did you know it's possible to sew with cork? We've never done it, but you can order some from xxxxx in Portugal. Here are some readymade things of cork to inspire you."
I only just saw some of the material in my local shop and haven't come up with a project I want to try.
I'm looking forward to reading how it goes, Catllar!
