    I love this! (and your entire blog โ€“ youโ€™re creating some incredible work!) Do you recommend a different fabric for a similar look as the picture? Not necessarily wanting to do faux leather.

      Thanks! I think any kind of woven fabric will do, as long as it’s thick enough. Something like a suiting fabric should be good (gabardine, twill, heavy crepe…).
