Metallic Gunmetal Pebbled Faux Leather

This soft and pliable faux leather is a great way to get a professional look at a reasonable price point. This vegan vinyl is thick enough to hold structure, but flexible enough to sew and have a beautiful drape. We love using this metallic charcoal faux leather for bag making, appliqué, wallets, home decor and more.

• Size: 18in x 53in
• Thickness: 1mm 
• Recommended Needle: A 80/12 Microtex Sharp or denim needle are recommended, with a longer stitch length, 3.0mm to 3.5mm.
• Recommended Thread: Polyester thread, we love a 50 or 40 weight.
• Recommended Foot: This vinyl is not super sticky, but a Teflon foot will be helpful when sewing with this material. If you do not have a teflon foot, placing a piece of matte tape to the bottom of your foot will help ease it over the fabric.
• Recommended Notions: Sewing clips, because pins will leave holes and buckle the vinyl. Having tissue paper near by is helpful when the faux leather begins to stick to the bed of your machine.
• Ironing: You can carefully iron faux leather from the WRONG SIDE of the fabric, using a pressing cloth and low iron setting. Do not use any steam – it will detach the bond.
• How to Clean: This fabric can be spot washed with a damp washcloth.
• Recommended Bag Patterns: Boulder Backpack, Bubba Bowling Bag, Bugsy Backpack, the Bum Bag, Cassidy Crossover, Cooper CarryAll, Elm Street Bag, Hetty HoldAll, JoJo on the Go Duffle, Natasha Tote, Parker Pack, Shelby Satchel, SweetPea Sling, the Daily Duffle, the Quick Corky Wallet, the Quick Snappy Wallet, the Quick Zippy Pouch and the Quick Boxy Pouch.
