Dear users, dear authors,
What alternatives to leather and silk are there?

Hi Josefa,

for bags, I like to use faux leather instead of real leather (which is usually much cheaper) or “vegan leather” called SnapPap. It’s really easy to work with and looks great :)

I never really work with silk.

Best regards,
Sonja

Hi Josefa,
it’s a washable, paper-based material. It looks like leather, but it isn’t. You can make all sorts of wonderful things with it—not just sewing!
It’s called Snap-Pap and is very versatile to work with.
Best regards,
Sonja
