Leaving the top of the artwork pocket open and place your artwork in after the bag is turned would solve the wrinkles in the artwork. You could switch out the artwork as well.
Great idea, Kathie. Can be sewn at the top, if you want the enclosed artwork to be permanent for some reason. If stitching, I'd add extra allowance to the top of the artwork, so it can be included in the seam that encloses the top. That way it will stay in position and not shift from side to side, with turning and/or use. Would keep artwork, done on a fabric panel, from sliding down and bunching at the bottom of the tote.
So many options with this bag! I like my artwork to be centered in the front of the bag, and sort of stitched in place, which is why I sewed it in this order. Plus it's harder to sew the straps on, if you hem and sew straps at the end...but find out what works for you! There are endless ways to do it! Dana
I love how you make projects so simple with your step by step detailed instructions. Your content is unique and the projects are things I would actually want to make. Your videos are perfectly put together and your personality is the icing on the cake. I love your videos! Thank you!
Yes... your personality, voice, smile, body language is so fun to be a part of. I never feel here... but like I’m there! Hahah ❤️ keep up the good work. Jinn
You can remove some of the wrinkles from turning right side out by warming a towel as hot as you can with your iron and then running the vinyl over the hot towel. No risk of melting the vinyl, and it smooths it out again.
Tip for anyone struggling to turn the bag is to warm the vinyl up with a hair dryer (low heat about 6 inches away). My husband held the hair dryer for me so I could get the angle right to turn the bag. I found it hard to turn as the vinyl I had was very hard anyway and I was making a mini tote for my 1.5 yr old, so it was even harder. Love your projects, thanks so much for sharing 🤗
Like this idea, as I have some small inspirational fabric panels that will work great as an alternative to paper. Plus, fewer wrinkles, after turning. :-) FWIW... Fabrics can be run through a printer, or scraps made into any size quilt block (with a backing). Themed placemats (fabric or other) cut to desired size, is another design source. I'm sure there are many other options, including logos from t-shirts. (Fabric should be stitched directly to the vinyl to hold it in position on the vinyl panel. Since white thread was used, keeping white gift wrap tissue paper between the vinyl and the throat place of the machine, will make sewing easier. If any tiny bits of tissue paper remain, after tearing it away, they won't be as noticeable. Matching tissue paper to thread color will help when making a large quantity of these at one time. Ease of sewing will, often, make it worthwhile to use tweezers to pick out the noticeable bits of remaining tissue paper. Again, really like this idea and how you presented it. Been exploring, a bit, sewing vinyl for book covers, sewing machine mats with clear pockets, etc. A source for clear vinyl is a clear shower curtain. Weight /stiffness of vinyl will vary by manufacturer and quality of the curtain. Mentioned, as an option for those who don't have an Joanne's or a Walmart with a fabric dept, nearby. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year!
You're the BEST! Thanks for teaching me to sew...and for teaching me to enjoy it!!! You're always so cheerful and your instructions are simply the best, never too long but never too short either. These "jellie" bags are great for sports events where you need a clear bag!
Very cute ideas! I find what helps my vinyl move along more smoothly is to tape a couple strips of the tissue paper on to my machine with some low tack tape like washi tape.
Like that idea! I'm going to steal it from you. :-) PS: I use blue painter's tape. Keep a roll at my machine to use as a seam guide. A roll of it lasts a loooong time.
I love your videos so much! You teach it so well until we understand it, also when you have the time could you please show us how to make a jean pencil skirt that would be amazing!
Thank you Morielle for the sweet comment! :) a jeans pencil skirt sounds really cool. I do have a video for knit pencil skirt. If you haven't tried that out, I highly recommend it! This method only works with stretchy fabrics, but it's really fun. Maybe you can even find some stretch denim to use! Here you go: th-cam.com/video/LMgYK0TgajU/w-d-xo.html
Love this video as I do all of the ones that you have done. I have a baby lock Sophia sewing machine and I have found when doing back stitching, it nests on the bobbin side of the material making the stitching quite unsightly. The forward stitching looks great. Any suggestions on what is causing the bunching on back stitching? Thanks, Dana. Have a blessed day.
Do you pull the bobbin thread up from underneath before you start sewing? I don't have a baby lock but I find that if I don't pull up my thread and hold it for the first stitch or two I get the bird's nest.
I have the exact same problem, now I use a great tip from another TH-cam channel I can’t remember which one now but if you take a tiny scrap bit of plastic or whatever fabric that your sewing and put it under the presser foot before stitching, make a couple of stitches on that and then just start sewing straight onto your main project it puts all the bunched up stitches into the scrap fabric and not your main fabric!
Dana you're so inventive! This is a wonderful idea, I'm going to try it. I always learn something new from your channel, so thankyou! Btw, did you make the top you're wearing? It's lovely
MADE Everyday I was going to ask about that top you’re wearing, too. I love it, and it looks soooooooo great on you! Happy (almost) New Year, everyone! 🎊 🎉 top 🎩 🥂 🍾 🎉 🎊
beautiful project. thank you for the inspiration. I used fabric for the artwork instead of paper and it turned out great. you guys can check it out to see
in this video I'm using a Baby Lock machine called LYRIC. You can read more about it on my site: www.madeeveryday.com/2014/11/my-new-sewing-machine-and-how-to-pick-your-own.html/ And you can see more about it my video here: th-cam.com/video/MRE4TABLswU/w-d-xo.html I also just got a new Baby Lock machine called "Brilliant" and I love it! (it's very similar to the Lyric)...and it's part of a whole series of machines called the "Genuine Series". You can see all the Genuine machines here: babylock.com/genuine
What kind and size needle did you use? Is there one type/size needle that you recommend for all vinyl, or should different needles be used for different gauge vinyls??? THANKS!! I LOVE your videos and always recommend your channel!!
Hi Trudy, thanks! Yes, you could use a size 80 or 90 needle....or if you find some that are meant specifically for vinyl, go for it. But to be honest, I'm lazy about changing needles, so I just use my standard needle for almost all fabrics I sew with! :) Dana
It's from Joann. It's a solid color vinyl on one side, and then feels sort of like scuba/neoprene on the other side. You can buy it by the yard there. I just buy 1/8 or 1/4 of a yard!
I love this...but I would trim the inside vinyl below the hem line so you could change out the artwork. Making one for my god-daughter for the Taylor Swift concert.
Sorry about that! I just fixed all the links on the Diaper Cover Video.

Curious. How many bags can you make from a roll of 8 gauge? (With the graphic being 8.5"x11".) I'm thinking of making this as a class gift for mother's/favorite female day.
Sure you can can put the vinyl in a warm spot, like out in the sun....or you can place a press cloth (dishtowel or fabric) over and use an iron on a low setting. But always do a test first on a piece of scrap fabric to make sure it won't melt your vinyl....and don't touch the iron directly on the vinyl.
Suzanne, boxing the corners is a good idea, whether it was done in the thumbnail or not. I like the look of boxed corners. Just have to take it slow and easy, with the machine, when crossing seams. For this I'd also use tissue paper over the throat plate and on top, if a Teflon foot (or taped foot) is not available. Use tweezers to pick out any bits of paper, afterwards. Thanks for sharing your thought!
No, I actually didn't box it out on this one....but that's what I love about using vinyl and turning it right side out like this....it gives the bag a good boxy dimension. If you want to box out the corners, I have a video for that here (in the second half of the video): th-cam.com/video/-OCRclg0hpU/w-d-xo.html

Maybe then laminate the artwork so it’s still waterproof. 😀

Great idea,what size needles
You can use a thicker needle, similar to what you would use with other vinyl or leather. Maybe a size 80 or 90.
beautiful project. thank you for the inspiration. I used fabric for the artwork instead of paper and it turned out great. you guys can check it out to see
Awesome! Do you have a pic of your bag? I'd love to see! Dana
Don’t forget to close the rotary cutter blade before you put it down! What size needle did you use on the vinyl?

Is there an invisible thread to sew with? What color thread are you using?
I used white thread...but you can buy invisible thread. That works too.
How durable are they? Because they don't look that environment-friendly too me.
Could you warm up the vynal a little bit so its more pliable?
Sure you can can put the vinyl in a warm spot, like out in the sun....or you can place a press cloth (dishtowel or fabric) over and use an iron on a low setting. But always do a test first on a piece of scrap fabric to make sure it won't melt your vinyl....and don't touch the iron directly on the vinyl.
you should post a video every week
I wish I could! They take a lot of time to create. But I'll do my best! Dana

how come no binding ? you don't have to turn inside out and the stitches are less likely to rip
Yep, you could do that too! There are so many ways to make a bag. Sounds fun!
