Well done! Concise, clear. I like this kind much better than your chattier ones. Great idea for smoothing the vinyl. Hair dyer might also work.Great gift idea.
Thanks for sharing. Wrinkles -- depending on the thickness of the vinyl and size of piece try: Warming with a hair dryer. I wouldn't try a heat gun. Placing it in hot water for a few moments. Iron, with a warm iron, using a dish towel as a pressing cloth. Experiment with vinyl scraps using parchment paper to protect the ironing surface and between the iron and the vinyl, when applicable. Oh... one more tip. Use a longer stitch length when sewing with vinyl. If stitches are too close together, sometimes the holes act like a paper perforated tear strip. Item will come apart along the perforated line.
you can cut your straps in the middle and add like a 6" piece of padded material for a padded shoulder strap and sew them back on to each end of the vinal strap
Thank you. looks pretty easy to do.....Another great tutorial.........Have you ever tried making those flip out pillow bed's for kids????? Would love to see something like that.....thanks so much Whitney.....
@@Whitney_Sews thanks so much for the quick response....I am binge watching your videos. I love them....Do you no longer have an Etsy store??? I just used the link and it wasn't there.......Sure hope you try the Pillow beds....thanks so very much...back my binge......lol....
No, I stopped selling on etsy a few years back when they started taking fees out of the shipping costs. I don't really have the time to make things to sell anyway.
That's a great video, as always! I went to the Paul McCartney concert several months ago and needed a clear bag. I actually went with my niece and her husband who have a baby boy named LENNON (Beatles connection!), so she needed a pretty good sized bag for diapers, baby wipes, plus wallet, etc. Babies under age 2 get in free, so Lennon gets to go to lots of concerts. He wears very nice head phones to protect his ears. Anyway, I made my niece's clear bag more like a back pack but very simplified. I didn't have any vinyl on-hand, but I DID have a shower curtain liner. I've actually used those liners for many vinyl projects. They're much cheaper than buying vinyl by the yard. I think I paid about $3 or less at Walmart, and that's a HUGE sheet of vinyl. The nice thing about these bags is that they don't really have to last very long. As long as they make it through the event, I feel like I got my money's worth out of it. Heck, you could make a whole lot of tote bags out of one shower curtain liner!
Thank you, Whitney. I just for the first time used a vinyl for a bag designed to contain a sandwich (it is for my grandchildren's lunch) and I did ok, You are always an inspiration.
Hi, what thickness do you recommend for making a flip phone case, so I can type thru the clear vinyl to the phone keyboard? not touchscreen. I need it not too thin to break it too easy and not too thick to allow to press the phone keys. Thanks in advance.
My husband had final on the floor in his car,I put it in really hot water then flatten it out and the wrinkles came out.As always you Projects are very neat smart and cute
Hey Whitney, thanks for sharing this tutorial. I've wanted more working with vinyl ideas and as usual, you delivered. I hope I have enough vinyl to make this as a tote and a matching catch-all cosmetic bag. ❤️
I once packed away my vinyl incorrectly, I used my Teflon pressing sheets with the vinyl sandwiched in the middle and pressed without resting the iron too long at any spot and it worked great. BJ
Hi Whitney, wouldn't have been okay to use like seam binding around the edge? I literally cannot see that bag at all but then I'm legally blind. It's a really cute idea. Thank you so much. I really love your videos.
Thank you Whitney

This was terrific. Is there somewhere I missed that said what size needle and gauge of vinyl you used?
I couldn’t find your pattern measurements on your website?

I don’t see measurements on your website. Then again this is an older video. Thanks Whitney.
Most stadium bag size requirements are 12"x12" and 6" deep. Anything bigger is not allowed.
I didn't have any problems using mine. But the bag can be made to size requirements using the same tutorial.
You can remove the marker with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball.
Awesome. I’m gonna have to try to do the heat thing. I usually put my iron on a low heat setting and but a towel over the vinyl

No, I haven't tried making those yet.

Nice bag Whitney! I think I would make the straps longer too. Will be making one of these. Great tutorial. 💜🤗💜
Nice tutorial. I need to make some clear vinyl bags for storing blankets and bedspreads and this will help me so much! TFS. 🤗

This was so cool and pretty simple too. Thank you

Great tip!
What Weight is the Vinyl/PVC that you used?
I have no idea. It was an unmarked remnant at the fabric store.
@@Whitney_Sews Ok Thank you
Hi, love the bag. I have never worked with vinyl and was wondering what kind of thread you used. Great video!
I just used my go-to polyester thread
Hi Whitney, wouldn't have been okay to use like seam binding around the edge? I literally cannot see that bag at all but then I'm legally blind. It's a really cute idea. Thank you so much. I really love your videos.
Yes, seam binding could definitely be added. I thought about using it, but wanted to keep this a quick project.
@@Whitney_Sews Thank you
Thank You for another awesome tutorial! Been watching you for years and love how clear and precise you are! Have a great day!
Did you use a teflon foot while sewing. Thanks.
No, I just used my regular presser foot.
