Thank you very much for your time in teaching and sharing your ideas with us:) You are appreciated!
I have never sewn a zipper so to see it being added would be a treat. I enjoyed your enthusiasm.
SuJean B I can’t remember who it’s by, but there’s a video on TH-cam on how to sew a zipper in a bag or an inside pocket of a bag. Mom taught me how to put a zipper in, & she showed me that there’s a brand of zipper that comes in a thin cardboard-type covering, & it has very simple, easy to follow instructions on how to put a zipper in. She swore by those, & now I do, too! I bought a zipper that was that brand just to get the instructions, & I’ve kept it in my sewing box all these years now (she does, too!).
I really like the new look the fusible vinyl brings to the zippered pouch. The fabric with the grid lines stitched on it does look cute! I also like that it now is easy to clean by just wiping down. I think I will make one that i can throw some make up in for my purse. So thank you for illustrating the fusible vinyl, didn't even know it existed!!
Thank you... For sharing and you sounds so happy to be showing it and you make it sound so fun and interesting ...
This is really great. Takes the project to a different level. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial! We use the reusable sandwich wraps with velcro closure. Saves a lot on sandwich baggies.
Ok, so I'm watching this at nearly 5am (insomnia), and thought you actually meant running fabric through a laminator.....*ahem* back to the video. :)
Same here.. 🤔😂
You can do that too
I also thought the same
Madeeveryday with Dana is really very helpful.she use very easy methods which can be followed easily
Very cool ! Nice presentation, very clear and informative 👍🏻
I'm using iron-on vinyl to make a reusable shopping bag. I also used a medium weight interfacing on the wrong side to make it stand up.
Hi, I'm thinking to add fusible interfacing too. Have you first added interfacing and quilted it then add iron on vinyl or have you first added iron on vinyl then added interfacing??? Thanks in advance
Ushma Soni I’m making some of those, too. I would use fusible interfacing that wouldn’t need to be quilted, & then do the vinyl. That way, you wouldn’t risk melting the vinyl by adding too much heat at one time/point of ironing.
Hey Dana, wanted you to know that I really like your fabric designs and especially like the Fiesta Fun Citrus Sunrise! So awesome!
This opens up a world of possibilities! Your videos are beautiful and your demos are easy to follow! You have a NEW subscriber here! :)
I like to use parchment paper to iron these. It’s reusable and a friend & I split a 1,000-piece case from a restaurant supply store. I’ll never use it all up and it’s great for protecting my iron.
That's a fantastic idea !
Does it work better than using a simple tea towel that’s reusable?
I would use this fabric to make an apron because everytime I wash dishes the front of my shirt is always wet when I'm done
Smart idea!
my dear God! this is sooo good!
I have been just thinking about to sew a zipper "pouch" to my brand new notebook, but I didn't know how to protect it from rain. and tadaaa, I have found this tutorial! thank you sooo much!
BTW I am obsessed with your videos, they are pretty helpful!
greetings from Hungary!
Awesome! Thanks Rebeka! And thanks for watching from Hungary :) Dana
Yes i am going to laminate all my childerens clothes!!!!
Oh my gosh! You are hilarious! (Not a bad idea! 🤣)
@@akabga :-) :-) :-) Don't forget diapers and Bed sheets. :-)
LOL!!!
Hahaha just laminate your children !
Like these. Love the idea of using the water toy and just making it two layers, cool!
Thank you for this how-to video!!! I've been looking for something like this for a car upholstery project I have been struggling with!!!!!!!
This is great!! Will be buying some for my first lap top bag and for cute bags for our 4 adult kids,for some some Christmas gifts as well.
Great videos. I too never knew this stuff existed. I'm recovering the seat and back on my golf cart and this stuff will really help the beautiful fabric I bought last longer . I bought outdoor fabric but it is not water repellent so I'm definitely going to try this .Thanks alot
This would be a cute idea for a diaper bag or even to make rain jacket or poncho
I love the idea about making a laminated diaper bag!!! This was a great tutorial!!!
I was wondering the same. i'd like to make a raincoat or windbreaker with this method
Dana I love watching your tutorials! Could you PLEASE do a tutorial of how to make a "scallop teeth rail guard for a crib. " that would be just awesome!!!! 😊😊
Great idea! Thanks so much. You are a joy to watch.
oh this is going to be so much fun! I see tons of laminated zipper pouches in my future with Bible verses sealed in between the fabric and the vinyl! Thank you for this video! God bless!
Jesus First you just gave me some great ideas!
Greetings Maggie! Dont know why I never got this notification. I came back to this video as a refresher and saw your post! Hope you're having a blessed day! (
Use it for a bible cover.
Would also be cute to put family pics in between, especially for maybe preschool/elementary school age kids who might miss seeing mom, or older kids favorite sports teams/logos!
What a great idea! Your amazing Dana❤️
Now you know I am loving your ideas. Thanks, fròm a beginner trying to go pro.
Thanks! Happy sewing :)
Your welcome
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial!! My fiance' bought me the Baby Lock Soprano this past Christmas (I almost decided on the Lyric) and I absolutely love it!!
I love love love your tutorials I have learnt so much from you please keep them coming. I noticed your t shirt that you were wearing and was wondering if you have a tutorial on how to make it.
Thanks, Susan! I'm glad they're helpful. And unfortunately no, this top was purchased...
Love the idea! I am thinking I could make some placemats and laminate them.
Omg this is so kool, I just had to stop the video, and get some supplies at home and i tried it right away, I'm in love loool, great video!!!
Oh that's awesome! So great to hear!
Love your style (and your ideas) Dana - Thank you!
Thank you have been waiting for someone to do this tutorial, I had no idea how to do it. Thanks again for the video!
The best raincoat ever!
Dana are you always so happy? I like your videos.
Hahaha. Making videos does make me happy....but mostly, It's way more fun to watch happy videos than monotone ones, right??
MADE Everyday you replied! 😊 thats so cool. sure i agree. I love your energy and sound advice on sewing. have you tired making baby nappies (dippers) or RUMPs? i am having a go at it right now.
DArussianPING What is a “RUMP”? Never heard of that (other than slang for a behind!). Lol
Very beautiful and well illustrated
Hi, you make everything look easy and approachable. Thank you for helping us be able to attempt projects that we wouldn't have otherwise. I'm going to make my own seam binding for some newborn items that I'm going to make, and maybe a laminated bag for my iPhone. What can you tell me about PUL fabric vs laminated fabric? As you say laminated is not for babies, is this where you use PUL fabrics? For that age group? I ordered 1 yard haven't decided what to make, probably a bib or wet bag got any ideas for it? What have you sewn with both, either? Thanks again for helping us to be creative and sew up great crafts so others can benefit. I am going to make a couple of crib sheets for my grand son's baby not born yet. Thank you! How long have you been sewing? Your family sew while you were young? What motivated you to be so. Creative? You must have had some type of education, either at home or school. Share with us.your story. : D
absolutely loved this! hadn't heard of this stuff before and it's really easy and relevant to my sewing! XOXOXO
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear! - Dana
yay x 2. so cool!
great idea
Wonderful!
You are a Genius girl!
Love the tutorial! I ended up buying laminated cotton because I don't want to laminate a whole yard. I'll keep this in mind for smaller projects. BUT i did order some black and white striped knit to copy your shirt! :D :D
Haha. Love it! :) Dana
susanc111 Where did you find the laminated cotton? Was it the PUL fabric, or something else?
First Comment!!! You should do a Mommy and Me episode! Include your children with the sewing!!!!!! I ordered and love your Boardwalk Delight Collection! I used it for a cute summer headband and a circle Skirt for my little cousin!
Who would have thought 😀too clever
You certainly have my attention x
Nice tutorial
Do you think I could this fuse vinyl also be used with paper to make it waterproof before making something from it? I have some lovely ads from work that I would like to sew up into pouches, but have no idea where to start with prepping paper for a project like that.
Wouldn't sewing lines through the lamination make it no long that great at being water proofed? I mean its like puncturing holes in a raincoat or umbrella.
Yes, this project is about making it more water-resist...just like a raincoat. It's so nice to be able to wipe it down as well when you need to clean it!
@hotrockgoddess, right but I was just thinking of it as PUL fabric that is used to make cloth diapers, and of course what I was taught was the less holes you have to sew the better. So if you are putting a wet bathing suit in it, its not going to keep the water in the bag as well as if it didn't have holes in it. You are right about the polyester thread though.
Noodle Yes, I make cloth diapers and wetbags from PUL. PUL is not water proof, but rather water resistant. If it becomes saturated, it can leak through. Typically for something you'd be using for bathing suits, the vinyl would be on the inside anyway and not the outside. Similar to how the fabric side of a cloth diaper or wet bag shows outward, and the PUL is the inner lining. I'm sure you could definitely make these that way. Although, I wouldn't go crazy and sew a bunch of lines down the middle like she did for something I would be using for a bathing suit, but normally I don't have issues with my wetbags leaking from the seam unless something is absolutely soaked and is dripping a lot of liquid into the bag to where it's pooling. I think these bags were probably only meant to repel water/dirt etc from the outside. But they do make seam sealing tape that you can use to add extra water barrier :)
You can apply nail polish to the seam line to help if you need it to be more resistant. Nail Polish is very versatile
Teach me about my Viking Sewing Machine
Interesting tutorial !! You speak clearly
Dana your videos are incredible! I've never not been able to complete one of the projects in your videos. I've been desperately looking for a video showing how to easily make a skater dress but I just can't follow any of the videos currently on TH-cam. Are you going to be making any dress making videos? :)
I bought cheap, but buttery soft shower liner at Target for $2.99.
And you applied it with an iron to the fabric (on the fabric side, of course)? Did it work well?
Would love if you’d follow up and tell us how it worked
Did it work???
I was thinking about doing the same thing, or using a clear vinyl table cloth. You can get that stuff pretty cheap, & even some at the dollar store! Or get end if the year clearance sale vinyl pool items! However, I think they would be easy/good to use for making something semi-waterproof, they wouldn’t be fusible, so there might be gaps in the waterproofing, like she mentioned. I don’t know if there’s anything you could use easily to actually fuse that kind of vinyl, without the expensive stuff, something that would show, or without melting the vinyl. If anyone knows a way, please fill us in!
I know this was 3 years ago but thank you 😂
Hi! This is great! I would like to know what type of needle you are using and also the length of your stitch please. Have a great day! It's always fun to watch your tutorials! 😎🌸
she looks like Reece Witherspoon!
This is a great idea, great tutorial... 👍
Wow that baby lock sewing machine awesome...so after sewing that grid is the laminating still safe from water? Is That grid not damaging the laminating or fabric? Great channel..done subscribe!
This answers all my questions
I love your tutorial. I wish you would make like at least a video a week😢❤
I wish I could too! It takes a lot of time to put them together, but I try to make one as often as I can :). Thanks for watching! - Dana
Yes I completely understand but still really love love your tutorials!!! Can I give a suggestion for a
possible future tutorial? Dress kitchen towel hangers!!! You know those
that have like a dress shirt design on top and the towel would be the
skirt, lol I forgot how are they called sorry. And thanks again!!!!
This is super cool! I never knew this even existed! Thanks Dana!! :) I had a question. If you laminate both sides of the fabric to make a pouch, when u attach the zipper will you still be able to iron it flat using a press cloth and how easy is it to sew?
Awesome! Yay! It's always fun to learn about a new gadget or technique. I didn't laminate both sides of the fabric. The zipper pouch actually has two layers of fabric---an outer fabric, and a lining fabric (you can watch that video here: th-cam.com/video/i1AsfZRYlRM/w-d-xo.html) So I lined the Right side of each of the fabrics, and left the Wrong sides just normal. And I don't think I used an iron after sewing the pouch. But if you needed to press something, you could always use a press cloth (dishtowel) over the top, so your iron is not touching the laminate directly. - Dana
Is this waterproof in the sense that you could use this fabric for cloth diapers? I haven't been impressed with the prints I've been able to find in laminated fabric and have decided I'll just make my own so my choices aren't so limited, but for this particular use, functionality is much more important than aesthetics and I need to be sure it's waterproof!
Does this vinyl have a strong odor? I would like to make baby changing pad, but not if it outgasses and exposes baby to fumes.
When you're cutting out the iron-on vinyl, why didn't you place your fabric right up to the edge of the start of the roll? It looked like you wasted the first inch of vinyl. It looked to be in good condition, so you could've saved yourself some cutting out too. Maybe I'm more thrifty than most but can"t see the point in throwing money away.
I suspect its because it would have the tendency to curl up because that edge is often folded oddly in the box and dealing with it while trying to be fast in a tutorial isn't worth the tiny bit of vinyl saved :) I definitely find it easier to use the really curling pieces if you apply them to a big piece of fabric *then* cut.
YES! this annoyed me too.
I thought the exact same thing lol..
Well, I suspect she paid for it, so she could toss it in the garbage unused if she wishes.
awesome idea, thank you for sharing
Beautiful job!!!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This is fun! Do you know if this could be used to make foldable sandwich wrappers?
Well, yes, in theory you can do that. But you need to read the info on your particular laminate or vinyl product first. Many are not recommended to use on baby items, or things that will go in your mouth. So just research that out first. Each product can vary, so there's not an overall blanket statement on that.
Easier thing to do (& very eco-friendly!) is what my mom used to do with mine. She always put my sandwiches in a Tupperware or Rubbermaid-type square sandwich container! My sandwiches never got squished between my books in my book bag, they stayed super fresh, the bread stayed soft instead of drying out, if anything leaked, it didn’t soak my sandwich, & the container is easy to REUSE & wash/disinfect in the dishwasher! You can also put hot water with a tiny amt. of bleach mixed in it now & then to disinfect it if you feel the need. I LOVED that my sandwich didn’t get squished! If your child isn’t good about remembering to bring their lunch box/bag home, that may not work for you. However, the other good thing is that those boxes can be found very inexpensive, & they even have them at the Dollar Store, sometimes in different colors and/or designs on them!
I would use my food sealer to make it stick together rather than sew it together. ( at least on the bottom and sides ) Just heat seal it with the fabric turned inside out and the plastic between the fabric.
Did you try that? Did it work? How durable was it?
Lovely idea!
I have learned so much from your vedio
That's great to hear! Have fun 😊
so pretty Does the glue stick to needle Is there a trick to keep it from sticky thimbs up thanks dhall
Hi. I wanna know if this is what Dean & Deluca use for their bags?
fantastic tutorial
So with every stitch aren't you defeating the purpose? Water could get in the stitch holes and possibly ruin your fabric if you can't get it dry?
Love it. Thanks for posting.
What a great video. Thank you!
kool video! love the beach bag!
Do you think you can make a video to show how to sew a long wallet with zipper bag and card slot?
I have laminated several things, one being a zippered pouch. It was super cute...for a very short while. As you grab your pouch or do anything that makes it bunch up or wrinkle, it begins to get tiny tears, little rips, and eventually holes in it. Did not last an entire season. Did you experience this as well?
Hmmm. Bummer on your pouch. I can see how that could happen. But I haven't experienced that (but I also haven't made something larger than this oversized zipper pouch). I do like topstitching lines like I did here in the video because it helps keep those layers together. - Dana
I'm looking on the web for the baby loc machine and can't seem to find where to purchase... also I've seen different name like juki, presto. Can you please tell me what's the name of your machine? Thank you in advance. Okay I just read the description, I need to know where can I order the machine?
You are so wonderful.....great idea!
i love you and your work
Can you use vinyl fuse over fabric that has been pressed with a fabric transfer image?
Love this! Do you have a tutorial on how you did the pink vinyl bag? Or instructions? TIA
Thanks! I don't have a tutorial...just some basic instructions here in the video. I just held the two pieces together (the vinyl and the fabric underneath) and sewed them as if they were one fabric. You could also do a basting stitch (a temporary holding stitch) around the two layers to keep them together. Have fun ! Dana
Hi Dana:
Thanks for another awesome video. What are the dimensions to this pouch?
Thank you for your tutorials. Very helpful. How would you make something waterproof, not merely water resistant?
Well sewing items will never be truly "water proof" since the stitching in the seams create small perforating holes. And on a zipper pouch, you also have a zipper, which is an area for small bits of water to seep in. So this project isn't meant as something you would submerge in water for a long period of time, obviously. For something totally waterproof, I think you would need something fully plastic, like the way an underwater iPhone case or camera case is made. But I haven't researched that! - Dana
Ok, I thought there may be a way to laminate a project after sewing it together - minus the zipper. Anyway, thank you. Your tutorials are very helpful.
When you added the decorative stitches does it compromise the water repellent effect of laminating the fabric?
Alex Routhier See notes/comments above!
What are the dimensions of the large pouch you made? I really like that size!
Whenever you make a mistake follow Julia Child’s example. She would say I am so glad I didn’t that now I can show you how to handle the mistake. I usually hear her voice, I’m so glad that happened. Saturday Night Live from the 70s was the best. Dan Akroid did skits on her. Ppl are concerned about a recent SNL skit about Kelly Ann, if they would look back to the 70s, they would see Chevy falling down in his skits on Gerald Ford.
Girl. Very cool. Also, love the top. Where's it from????
Thanks Molly! Um...I think my sweater/shirt is from Express, online. :)
your next tutorial should be on making a backpack!
OMG!! I can’t wait to try this!!!!!
Asking as a sewing novice- is there a reason you’d laminate fabric instead of buying PUL? More pattern options, perhaps?
Yea, with laminating, you can have endless fabric options! You can turn your favorite fabric into a more water resistant fabric. I love that.
Iove it's very good ! ,thank you .
Does the adhesive stick to you're needle I would like to use this tactic.
Can you use this for food pouches or is there another type of fabric to use for that? I'm thinking about making some reusable snack bags.
You need to check the info on the laminating material you use. Some laminates are not recommended for food products because it contains BPA. Do a google search and you'll find more info. - Dana
If I do this can I still wash and dry it?
Would Fray Check or a product like that plug the needle hole? Fabric Tac?
i was going to make something with wipable surface with adding layer of vinyl now i am thinking i can just vinyl fuse for wipeable side. my question is can the project still be thrown in to wash if only one side is vinyl fused and not the rest.
I haven’t tried washing it… I worry that it might separate from the fabric a bit? or melt if placed in the dryer? I’m not sure… I would just check with the brand of fusible vinyl you are using and see what the packaging says as far as care instructions.
What is your press cloth made of? What type of fabric?
Where did you get your baby lock machine from🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔
Can you do a simple kids backpack for school?
Could I make a rain coat using this technique?
Sure! Totally!
Thanks for the quick reply!!!
This is great! Thanks a lot! 😎
can you do a how to on a traditional wrap and tie dress?
Love love love!!
