I was reading some posts on a sewing forum, and one lady was talking about using cork fabric. She had some photos, and it looks beautiful. So I searched for cork fabric, and the first (and only) site that I looked at has cork fabric for $120 per yard!! Amazing. I think it's awful to spend $10 per yard, let alone $120. Maybe this lady has more money than sense...

It is a linen fabric and yes it is very expensive and there is a couple of counts to the inch depending what you want to do with it. Hope this helps Val

Thanks. It does look beautiful. The photos that I saw showed it being used as a binding, and it looked like it felt luxurious.

It has just become available to retailers here in UK but they are wary of stocking it because it will be so expensive,

I would have to be very sure I was going to love it before I could allow myself to buy more than a few inches of it.

Our local quilt shop has it for $72.00 per yard but it is 72" wide. Plus they sel it by the inch. I bought 1 1/2 inches and it was enough to use as decorative trim on 5 small bags. If anyone seriously wants the name of the shop for ordering infor pm me

I had seen photos of it being used as a binding, and it did look great. I think I lack confidence that I wouldn't ruin it, since I do a lot of unsewing and second (and third and more) attempts

Perhaps she has a inexpensive source of cork. Without reading the original piece I cant comment further

I really don't know what it is made of, but it almost has a weathered leather-ish appearance. It looks thick and rich.
