I have expanded my sewing into bag making. I have learned most of my techniques from participating in classes and forums on line. I especially enjoy making bags with cork fabric. I use cork because it is sustainable, vegan, durable and biodegradable. Cork fabric is sometimes called cork leather because it wears like leather. Cork and cotton make bags that are attractive and durable.
