Episode 28: Sewing Faux Leather – Tips, Tricks & Sewing Ideas (Guest: Simone Fuchs-Schulz)

Tips, projects & links on the topic

Are you really frustrated with faux leather because this bulky material never does what you want? But you can make such wonderful cosmetic bags, handbags, accessories and garments out of faux leather!

Main problem: The faux leather keeps sticking to the presser foot. As a result, it is not fed through evenly and the seams turn out far from beautiful.

But the stiffness of faux leather also gives some sewing fans a hard time. In this podcast, I talk to Simone Fuchs-Schulz from the sewing café at the Wasserturm about how to achieve great sewing results with faux leather.

By the way: All our tips and tricks are also excellent for sewing with oiled cloth and coated cotton! 🙂
