Nicki will review variety of faux leather options and explain the properties of each. She will also show how the backing of faux leather makes a huge difference in not only how it feels but also how it sews.

Nicki will review each of those plus explain how to cut faux leather and the tension and stitch length settings needed to set you up for success.
Nicki will also explain what to use for topstitching thread and needles, plus some different presser feet, such as the Teflon foot and the roller foot, and some other tips for sewing and storing faux leather.
Use these tips and tricks you learn from Nicki and put them into practice to make a cute new purse. Nicki combines fabric and faux leather to get the beautiful prints of your favorite cotton fabric plus the rich look of faux leather. Learn how to make your own handles, add a recessed zipper and an inner zippered pocket, and learn how to interface faux leather to make a really sturdy bag.
Use the techniques and tips learned in this course to make almost anything you want out of faux leather. It’s great for home-dec applications, perfect for purses and even accent details in garments.
