Vogue Patterns mag has cool cork wallet project

Check out the February/March 2012 issue of Vogue Patterns magazine (on newsstands now). There is a great article on cork fabric ("Put A Cork In It: The newest fabric darling with an eco-conscious edge") as well as a free project: a cork wallet ("Easy-to-make wallet and e-reader cover in the newest fabric in home sewing"). Very cool!

A compilation of news and information on real cork

Passionate about renewable, environmentally friendly cork! Lucky to be part of our family business that was founded in the mid-1800s - Jelinek Cork Group. Working from beautiful and creative Savannah, GA USA.

Did you know that cork is completely renewable? It is the bark of cork trees that are primarily grown in the Mediterranean region. The trees are not harmed or cut down during harvest. The cork bark begins to regrow immediately. The trees can live 250 years, all the time filtering carbon dioxide, generating oxygen, and creating an incredibly diverse habitat for plants and animals - not to mention producing a new harvest of cork approximately every nine years.

By using cork products, you're supporting the cork forest. You're helping make the world a better place.
