If you enjoyed the video gimme a thumbs up and let me know if you have any other handy tips for sewing with clear vinyl in the comments below! Thanks for watching and happy sewing! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Great affordable vinyl option is a higher end vinyl shower curtain. I found a very neat curtain with frosted dots on clearance at my local grocery. It was about 8 gauge.
I'm a northerner living in the deep south...I appreciate your tutorials because they moves fast!
In a pinch, I went to the dollar store and got their zippered vinyl pencil cases. Of course I was limited to the size however, when you add fabric it makes the project bigger. I not only got the vinyl, I also got a zipper. I would cut the vinyl to the size I wanted and could also use the zipper in that project or another.
Great suggestion. Thanks Susan!
Great idea, and printed ones should make for fun windows.
I made so many clear vinyl bags with fabric tops, for my granddaughter’s items used @her daycare, such as snacks, lunch, etc.. I too started out with thinner vinyl, but found it to be very wrinkly and not as smooth and pretty, so I then started to use a much thicker vinyl. Love all your tips, Vanessa!
Thank you Vanessa, especially for the part about ironing the vinyl. I’ve sewed with vinyl before, making pouches and even a three pocket (made of vinyl) sewing bag to take to classes. But I didn’t know that you could iron the wrinkles out of it. TFS!
Vanessa that was indeed a great tutorial with all kinds of tips to work with clear vinyl. I just stitched my first clear vinyl pouch a few minutes back. I am so happy to have found this video at the right time. I am sure these tips are going to be a great help to beginners like me. Thanks a ton.👍👍
This is a great informative video! I am so glad you made it as it answered a lot of questions I had, and didn't know I had. :) I recently purchased some vinyl and had questions about the needed, etc. Your videos are always very helpful, and I have learned a lot from you! Thank you, and please continue making them.
Thank so much Vanessa your instructions are so clear. I would never have even thought of working with vinyl becuase of all the problems I would have encountered BUT you make it so non problematic that I am now 'on board' Love it. Arlene from UK.
Thank you for all your tips on using clear vinyl. Now I feel confident enough to use the remnants I picked up yesterday 👍
You are a very good instructor to explain the tips Give you a 10 ✅😁 I’ve been sewing for 50 years , and it’s hard to explain to another
LOTS of useful information presented in a quick understandable way. Thank you. It's rare to find how-to vids like this
Thanks! This is first video of yours that I have seen and I must say I really like your clear, concise commentary and have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more getting more helpful advice.
Great tips. I’ve made several projects with vinyl, but I knew there had to be a better way to manage some of the cutting and sewing problems. Thanks!

Thank you , today I bought vinyl to sow, I needed these tips. And can’t wait to make a see through pouch .....🌹❤️🌹❤️
I just decided to sew myself a fabric case for my mp3 player, and i wanted to give it a pvc window to use it without taking it out of the pouch, and this is the first video i found. This might sound weird but the way you spoke in this video really helped me focus and take in what you were saying, as opposed to loads of other videos I've seen where the audio is calm and quiet and makes me fall asleep lol. Thanks for being so clear about everything in this vid!
Glad to help!

Hi where did you get your vinyl from and what size x
Thanks for this great video! I’m ready to give vinyl a try now! The gauge size info was especially helpful, along with how to get the wrinkles out.

Hey Vanessa, Happy New Year! Nice to see you again. Great tips. Looking forward to your new club projects. Kathleen
Thanks for the information on vinyl sewing, those tips are really helpful.
Thank you for the great tips! I got some vinyl to make some face masks that have a transparent window, and I'm glad I found your tips before I started sewing them.
Some wonderful tips there for sewing with vinyl, many thanks, Jess
I love your tutorials! 💟 So clear instructions! Nice closeups and lighting. Congratulations in the 'knitting club'! I saw you in the commercial!
Great video as usual. I feel confident that I can work with it now. You're a great teacher.
You probably had no idea when making this video just how helpful it would be!!
I just started machine sewing some face masks for the teachers at a local school for the deaf. They have vinyl windows in the masks so the students can lip read.
Your instructions about stitch length are clear and outline the reasoning so well, I was able to avoid some terrible and costly mistakes. Thank you.
THANK you for sharing this easy way to work with vinyl..LOVE LOVE
Glad to help!
Thank you for this very helpful tips! Been struggling sewing my vinyl projects.
Everything I want to learn, I search for it and up pops you. Love your videos!!
GREAT VIDEO!!! Full of great tips, well thought out things that need to be considered, and well described. Thanks!!
you are a wonderful teacher Vanessa.
thanks
Thanks so much. I have had issues and did not know about all of these tips. Will be helpful. Thanks again.
I guess I need to go shopping for some clear vinyl! Great tips, Vanessa!!
Thx for going into such detail on how to work with vinyl...
Thanks for these tips! You can find teflon presser feet for any model sewing machine. For the most part, you only need to know if your machine is low shank (most modern machines are) or high shank and they just snap right on. The teflon foot you showed is available for as low as $6 or $7. They also have regular roller feet AND teflon roller which is like magical for these types of projects. I'm headed out to get some vinyl now!
New here. Great video! You speak clearly, your thoughts are organized, and your examples are easy to see and understand. Thanks!
U give me ideas,on the coming school days..thank u,thank u for the tips..
Thanks for your help with the vinyl. I learned a lot. I searched and found you!!
Vanessa, I love all of your information and the way your personality comes across on your videos. I am looking into purchasing the Juki DX7 and was wondering if you will be doing a video on it soon. You are so inspiring and I love the detailed information that you give. I want to make a decision soon and am looking forward to a video from you. After watching your video on the Juki 2010Q I went out and bought it and I love it. I am also looking forward to your 2018 Organizer Club, ready to sign up!!
My first time sewing clear vinyl Very clear and helpful instructions
Great Tips sewing with vinyl. Thanks, Crafty Gemini!
Vanessa you are so darn clever. I have been hesitant to make a pouch with a vinyl front. NowI am ready to go. Thanks.
Very helpful tips Vanessa, thank you!:)
PERFECT!! Wish I would of found this 4 years ago! Thank you so very much❣️
How I wish I had watched your video first! I could've saved myself SO much frustration! Fabulous tips, thanks so much.
thanks for your cheerfulness great shows!!
Wow thank you for the tips I could never figure out to sew on vinyl now I know 😊
Really fantastic advice. Thank you, Vanessa
Check for vinyl in the fabric remnant bins at either WalMart, Hobby Lobby or JoAnn's. The pieces are generally large enough for just about any project I need, and paying only a fraction of the price for 8 gauge vinyl. Can't wait to get started on a project bag!!! Thanks so much for the great tutorial, Vanessa!
Have not stopped by in awhile still love ya girl ❤️Thank you for the tips👌
Thanks for such clear information and tips. Very nice video.
Great video! Thanks for all of the tips!
You’re an amazing teacher!
I'm going to have to make this bag, great tutorial.
I love working with vinyl! Often all I do is buy it from Walmart - they usually have different gauge vinyl for covering tables, etc. (I usually buy in bulk and it can take me up to a year to go through it all). I tend to buy several different gauges at once when possible. I used to tissue paper until I bought my non-stick foot & needleplate for my Janome sewing machine - still use tissue paper occasionally.
I also make a point of washing my vinyl first and then sandwiching as you do & ironing it - faster and easier than using the hairdryer, especially on the heavier gauge vinyl.
Love your tutorials ❤️
Thanks for a great video on sewing vinyl!
Thank you so much for these tips!😃
Thank You for these tips! They are just what I needed to know to make plastic covered bucket hats! I live in Seattle ☔️🌧🌂💧☔️😀
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Excellent video. Great tips for sewing with vinyl. I do find the thinner the vinyl, the more it sticks to my machine! Last vinyl I bought is very thin. Gives me problems, especially sticking to the machine. I purchased a Teflon foot, so no problem there…just sticks to the base….
Thank you. That was a great tutorial! ❤️ 💛 💚 💙
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
That is great tips, tks for sharing it. I am doing a pouch and just needed some advice. Like the vinal sticks to the surface and like you say it stays in one place.
Thanks for the wonderful tips!
Thanks Vanessa, another video packed with useful, practical info.
I try. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. You are an amazing Teacher. I always learn something new.❤

Hello Ms Vanessa. I too bought the DX7. Have you done a video on how to operate the sewing machine? If not, would you consider making one?
By the way, I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the sewing community.

Thanks! Happy sewing!
WOW! Vanessa another great video with wonderful tips your the best girl! Tha nk you for sharing!!! Hugs Liz..
Vanessa, please warn anyone making a luggage identification tag to make sure to place it in the bag, not outside where just anyone can copy it. And if you are including a street address, leave out the city and ZIP code, otherwise you may return home to find your home has been burgled. If providing a phone number remember to include your country code.
Many thanks for making this very informative and helpful video.
Wow, glad I found this video. Think I will make some vinyl bags to store my zippers and fat quarters in!
Since summer is just around the corner it would be nice if u would do a video on a bathing suit wrap, both skirt wrap and dress wrap, i think most of us would really be pleased about that. Thanks in advance.
