I have never worked with cork fabric. I have only seen what others have done with it on the QB. Watson, your bag is beautiful.
The obvious is to make bags or wallets and tags. I am curious to some of the more unusual quilty things that can be made.

Thanks for all the tips! I will be looking into more about cork for something to do too. This sound like a lot of fun and a different and fun way to be sewing crafty things.

Snooze, that's cool! I could use something like that for my paint brushes. And one for crochet hooks. Hmmm

Nakuna, thank you for starting this thread. I have some cork fabric that I wasn't sure what to do with. Lots of good links and ideas here. The wheels are turning now.

I took the measurements off my old brush bag to make this one. Next time I'll add a little more room to it.

Sew Sweetness also has a number of ideas for cork fabric on her website, mostly bags and other useful-type items. One of these days I'll buy some cork fabric to make a new checkbook cover....
