Supplies Needed to Sew with Faux Leather Fabric

• Thread: Polyester or nylon thread is a good choice for faux leather projects.
• Sewing Clips: While you can use pins, sewing clips can be easier to use with such a sturdy material to keep it in place while sewing. They prevent unnecessary holes in the material.
