Title: Padset - Fabric ID question?
Post by: spectre on April 13, 2008, 12:21 AM: Looking to make my own padset for a current project...not a massive fountain of fabric knowledge though. Anyone know what the fabric on this hutch set might be called/what type?

In all seriousness, I dont think they are leather. Looks like a fabric to me.
