Moonglow Butterscotch Vinyl – Pebbled Faux Leather for Bag Making

Moonglow Butterscotch Vinyl is a matte, pebbled faux leather in warm butterscotch light brown, made for sewing bags and accessories on a home sewing machine. Each piece is 18" x 54" and 0.7mm thick: soft and drapey like leather, yet sturdy enough for totes, crossbody bags, purses and pouches.

Brought in by popular request, Butterscotch fills the gap between our deeper Moonglows and lighter neutrals, and it has an even softer hand than standard Moonglow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is each piece?

Each piece is 18" x 54" and 0.7mm thick, enough for a medium-to-large bag or several accessories.

Is Moonglow Butterscotch shiny?

No. Moonglow has a matte, pebbled finish with no sheen or glare, for a leather-like look.

Can I sew this on a home sewing machine?

Yes. Use a Microtex 80/12 needle and a 3mm stitch length. A regular presser foot works; you don't need a Teflon foot. Hold layers with clips instead of pins to avoid permanent holes.

Do I need interfacing?

It depends on your project. For structured bags, use Sew Hippie foam, Sew Hippie fusible foam, SHH Fusible Woven, leftover batting or fusible fleece. For a slouchy style, you can skip interfacing entirely.

Is this vinyl sticky or adhesive-backed?

No. It's a non-adhesive faux leather vinyl designed for sewing, not sticking.

Can I iron this vinyl?

Press from the wrong side, or protect the front with a Teflon pressing sheet. Never touch a hot iron directly to the front of the vinyl.

How do I care for it?

Machine wash on cool.

What patterns work well with Moonglow Butterscotch?

Any Sew Hungry Hippie vinyl-compatible pattern works. The Santorini Tote is a fan favorite, and the Madison, Arlo, Andy and Donovan bags are all excellent choices too.
