You may already know this, but if you use the paper that covers the vinyl on the roll as a buffer between the vinyl and the machine bed, it will not stick. Makes your life a whole lot easier. Great job with the bag, thank you. Also, there is a Teflon foot accessory for most machines meant for sewing vinyl.
Thank you for sharing these helpful tips! I'm glad that you found the tutorial helpful, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me 😊
Thank you for your tutorial. I want to share a tip on what works for me when working with sticking vinyl. I put a sheet of plain paper between vinyl and sewing machine and proceed sewing on vinyl with paper sandwiched in between. Once the piece is sewn, I tear away the paper. Hope you can try this and that it works for you as it has for me.
Hi from South Africa 🇿🇦 wonderful tutorial. I've been making a few of these in a lot of different sizes 😀 A few tips I learnt, some masking tape at the bottom of your foot will prevent it sticking, from Melanie Ham I learnt to zigzag the top of the zip face outside, it's so cute, especially if one uses an alternative colour. Also using a hair dryer to soften it before turning really helped me. I also added tabs to help when closing the zip and a carry tab. Thanks so much for your detailed and helpful videos.
Another great tutorial. I did my first Vinyl pouch just an hour ago and love it. It is fiddly to box the corners and turn it inside out, but it is worth it.
Hello Stacey, It is my lucky day that I found your TH-cam video. It is just what I needed to quickly make some project bags. I ordered the pattern for different size bags so I can make a set for each of may sisters. So simple, so fast!
Sorry I missed the live premiere. Another great looking and useful project! SO good for traveling and getting through security. They can see everything in one tidy pouch! 🤩
I have been meaning to make vinyl pouches for my makeup, as i need a lot of them, but don't have enough time to sew fabric ones as it takes up so much time! I didn't come across vinyl in fabric shops, but i think pvc tableclothes would work just as well, and the great thing is that those are avaible everywhere, your tutorial was easy to follow, thank you!
Hi there, you’ll find vinyl in most big craft stores in the upholstery and curtain area, and yes a pvc tablecloth could also be used. These are so quick and easy to make. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 🤗
Awesome Joy! Yes after the video I worked out that the tissue it comes with is helpful, I ended up taping it to my sewing machine with painters tape. 🤗
Great tutorial. I also have made a few of these and ran into some tension adjustments being necessary. I have a Brother sewing machine as well, but it is a different model.
Have made three so far and I love them. Your instructions are excellent. Thank you so much! Do you happen to know what the dimensions are for a one quart pouch so I can use it for traveling? And, what would be the cut size? I am cutting the vinyl at 10" x 14" and my finished measurements are approximately 8.5" wide by 5" high by 2.5" wide at the base.
If it's helpful on clear vinyl and you won't see it otherwise, use a sharpie and run it along the edge of the vinyl so it shows against your project. I like to lay mine on paper and draw like the vinyl is a ruler so that it only colors the edge, not the surface.
HI there, these vinyl zippers are easier than fabric ones because you don't have to worry about hiding seams because the vinyl doesn't fray. Honestly, they are very easy to make 😊Here is a tutorial of mine for fabric zippers th-cam.com/video/_iFiY_fWIi8/w-d-xo.html

I put a bit of talcum powder on the plastic that's on the machine side keeps it sliding .

Great tutorial. I also have made a few of these and ran into some tension adjustments being necessary. I have a Brother sewing machine as well, but it is a different model.
Thanks so much for watching Rebekah. I think maybe the vinyl throws things off a bit 🥹
Great tutorial Thank You greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

Awesome! ❤️❤️❤️😊
This is one of my favourite tutorials!
Hi Stacey! I loved the way you explained everything. Easy to follow! Can you please share where you got your book shelves? Love them. Thanks!
Hi Vicky, thanks so much! My shelves are from Ikea 😊
Wow i like it 😊😊
Thank you! 😊 I appreciate you watching my video ❤️
To keep the vinyl from sticking, Use tear away stabilizer
That’s a great tip Deborah, thanks for sharing it with me 🤗

Im glad you found the tutorial helpful. I’m sorry I don’t know. I don’t even know how much a quart is 😅
Thanks

Nice job, but i don’t think i want to fuss with vinyl. But see using this process for fabric ones.

Sorry I am late 😒...I will have to watch the replay...
Hi Sherry, no problem, thanks so much for taking the time to watch 😊
could you add zipper tabs to the zipper on this pattern? I was thinking it would give it more color and help with zipper ends.
Hi Gina, yes you could, you would need to change the construction of the top a bit to make that work 😊
What kind of thread did you use? And does the thread make a difference??
Hi, for these sorts of projects I like to use Glide thread, but any thread will do 🤗
What size needle?
I just use a standard needle 😊
