Things You'll Need
Fabric chalk
Rotary leather punch
Hole punches work perfectly for paper, but fabric does not punch crisply the way that paper does. Attempting to use a traditional hole punch through fabric will result in stretched fabric. If you are working on a sewing project that requires holes to be punched through the fabric, you can do so with a rotary leather punch. Rotary punches have interchangeable punch sizes to punch holes in the sizes you need.
Step 1
Mark the spots where you want to punch holes in your fabric with fabric chalk.

Step 2
Rotate the wheel on a rotary leather punch until the punch size that you want is lined up with the other side of the punch.
Step 3
Position the punch over the mark on the fabric with the flat end of the punch under the fabric. Squeeze the handle to press the punch through the fabric, creating a hole.
