Easy Vinyl Project Bag Tutorial for Stitching Projects

[@annettes7460]

This is the most easily understood and illustrated project bag I've found. Thanks so much!!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words!

[@bbymks5]

Agree!!

[@shobhafernandes5006]

It was such a treat watching this.

[@dabblecrafter4454]

Thank you for showing how to make a project bag. I am glad that you showed how to sew the vinyl and binding. I’m a visual learner and your video has certainly helped me. 😊

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Oh good! If we can inspire any creativity we have done what we love! To Inspire!

[@wendyrodriguez5375]

From California Thank you for your clarity 👏🏽. I really got addicted to making these. I found the vinyl super cheap by purchasing inexpensive shower curtains, and clear table cover rolls. I even like the frosted curtains and the frosted theme print curtains. You can still see what’s in the bag. Wish I knew how to add pictures to show you ❤

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Now those shower curtains are a fabulous idea! I would love to see. I don't know how to add pics either. You could email them tho, [e-mail]

[@Katbird88]

I do that as well…. Clear vinyl table covers work great

[@marthaherbert17]

Great idea

[@carolineioannidis4186]

Sew simple. Thank you for a very clear instructions. Now I’m going to make project bags❤❤❤

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Oh good!!!

[@amandaflood4902]

Wow - I think that would have to be the easiest to make project bag I have seen. Definitely, will have to give it a go. Thank you for the tutorial ❤

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Yes, give it a go! They are addicting to make!

[@ruth8676]

For someone who is not a seamstress…you certainly did a great job sewing and teaching how to make the bag. You make me think..I can do that! Thanks to you!!!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You CAN do it!

[@mommyhobbs48]

Thank you! Very great instructions and I love the fold over binding!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@5763-u4e]

Thank you so much for your easy to follow and well explained tutorial😊. Always wanted to make a bag using vinyl but was so intimidated but you have given me the confidence to try this. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Oh I am so happy to help! Thank you for watching! And Blessings back :)

[@stitcheswellwithvodka3534]

This was VERY helpful. I've watched a ton of tutorials for bags but this has been the one that I think will make me actually give it a go!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You can do it!

[@mephomorphisied]

This makes it so much easyier . Even better if you do the zip with the fold both sides becomes a zipperty do done zip with out the extra expense . Wish i see this before i made mine but think i will make a couple of large ones now . Thankyou

[@UnfinishedStitches]

So glad it was helpful :)

[@valeriesuttonpayne7413]

This is fabulous! Wonderful instructions. I’m going to try this! I’ve never used vinyl but will now. THSM.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

It is very easy to use, just do it!

[@leslieprice9224]

Outstanding video! While I absolutely hate sewing, your video with honest comments and tips is encouraging me to give us a shot. I love your videos, and so thrilled that you posted this.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You can do it!

[@madampinkjustice3507]

Thank you. I just made my first project bag as a beginner following your directions.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Oh yeah! They are so fun, congratulations!

[@madampinkjustice3507]

[@dianehunter8681]

I love this tutorial; you explain each step so clearly that I had no problem making my first bag. Thank you.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

OH I am so glad you tried one! They are fun!

[@karenm7260]

Really enjoyed your tutorial! Agree that having clear vinyl you can see what’s in the bag without having to rummage through looking for a particular item. Will give this a try. Thanks so much!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You are so very welcome and thanks for watching!

[@ejej1964]

Thank you so much!!! Love this idea for my grand babies.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

So glad you enjoyed our video, thank you for watching!

[@brandyjohnson5547]

There are so many comments or I'd just read thru them to see if someone has already ask where the fabric came from. I ABSOLUTELY love it and your tutorial

[@rebeccaterry9428]

Great tutorial I am going to give it a go , Love Love this fabric would love to know who made it so I can try and find some

[@christinenewell2679]

If you type in “Find mushroom fabric” into Google or Safari, lots of mushroom fabric will pop up. (I just did it and loved what I saw). You can do this for anything at all…… Daisy fabric, Robin fabric……the world is your fabric oyster with WWW. Good luck.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Yes to this!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

I do not remember! It was an old scrap piece!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

I do not remember! It was an old scrap!

[@danameyer3710]

Bonnie, I love this tutorial. It was by far the easiest, simplest, direct and straight to the point instruction of a project bag I have ever seen. You have inspired me to make one now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Do it! You can!

[@bhsd835]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial! So much quicker and easier than others I have made. I love using all my fun fabric scraps to make the perfect bags for my cross stitch projects!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Right! We need to use up those fun fabrics! Thank you so much!

[@costanzadardano3598]

[@cynthiabaldridge5135]

So glad I found your tutorial! Today I was trying to find a way to contain a half used layer cake (10"x10" selection of 42 fabrics) and this will work perfectly. I'll also use for quilting WIPs and stitchy projects now that I see how easy and affordable these are to make. Thanks so much!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You are so very welcome and thanks for watching! Have fun!

[@karenvann5911]

Thank you, Ive been looking for a simple project bag pattern and this is it> fabulous!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

So glad you found it helpful! Enjoy making all the fun project bags!

[@donnabecreates]

I like how you quilted the back. I make my bags very similar except I insert the vinyl and sew it to the folded fabric first then add the zipper. So cute! Thanks for sharing.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thanks for watching! They are sure fun to make aren't they!

[@janestyles4024]

Thank you for the great tutorial. I've always had a panic with zips. This by far is the best one I've seen. I'm definitely going to have a go. Thank you ladies.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Yes, give it a go! You will love them they are so easy!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

This is easier than my last one…the self binding is the ticket. Thank you so much!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You are so very welcome and thanks for watching :)

[@lisaboban]

Fun tutorial! I love your relaxed approach. That trick or using the seam ripper to coax the corners into shape is rather brilliant. I've never seen that. And thanks for leaving in the 'birds nest' comment. I thought I was the only one who had that problem!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Haha, everything I sew has a birds nest because I am always in a hurry!

[@donhardman6919]

Hello from NZ, Bonnie. I am a little behind in tuning in to your videos as I have been very busy of late preparing for the October fare we are having at our local church. I have finally finished crocheting Christmas snowflakes decorations for the fare, and also knitted Poppies flower for the celebration Sunday. So, I watched the tutorial on your project bag, well, I have to say how much I really enjoyed the video. It is so clear, tidy and just superb. I have made a few for my projects in the past, and I will make another one following your method. I love the fabric you have chosen. Thank you Bonnie for sharing, and hello to Apollo. I thought he would help you with the sewing 😊😊 Take care, Thelma.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Oh Ms Thelma, your fingers must be tired from all those snowflakes and poppies! I bet they turned out beautiful and people will surely enjoy them :)

[@denise6717]

Hi Thelma I too am in NZ in CHCH can you tell me where do you source your vinyl from in NZ? Thks denise

[@donhardman6919]

Hi Denise, WOW, are you from Christchurch and where abouts in Christchurch to the nearest shop/craft shop? Well, I bought my Vinyl from Spotlight long time ago but not sure if they still do, but Lincraft should have it too. Hope this help Denise, and all the best. Thelma.

[@laurapage7923]

Hey, Bonnie and Madison! I just made my first vinyl front project bag and I am so excited! Your tutorial is great. Thanks so much for sharing the process. I love your podcasts and look forward to them.

[@MsMcQuilty]

LOVE this video!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@bbymks5]

Love this and the clear and easy instructions!! Two questions: 1) where is the cute mushy fabric from? 2) what stitch length do you use when sewing with vinyl?

[@UnfinishedStitches]

I tried to find the mushroom fabric company, but I do not remember who it was and it has been in my stash a bit. I am sorry! I use stitch length of 2.5 for the vinyl. My machine does not have a problem with it at all. If you get to much drag increase it to 3 or 3.5.

[@karenevans6978]

Thank you for this great tutorial.

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thanks for watching!

[@msmonet]

Very nice. I think adding a loop with a clip to hang will make it over the top. Thank you!

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Ahh thank you!

[@sandrinou1329]

I have done several pouches but never quilting in the back. THanks to have shown me how to do that, it's a good tip 👍👍❤ On the other hand, I wonder if it's a good thing to start many cross stitches project in the same time. Usually, I finish a cross stitch project before starting another. I wonder if I try to do several or not.... What is your opinion about that ?

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Start lots! We love lots of starts!!!

[@clayrblu]

Super cute!❤

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thank you so very much!

[@Crafty_Susie]

Awesome tutorial, I was just wondering what is inner facing? Is it more like card stock or a board?

[@UnfinishedStitches]

Thank you! It comes in many different weights. It can be super thin too, for like cloths. It basically is like a lining, to give it some heft or body.

[@FaithAlways25]

I've now made 24 of these bags using this method. Really easy but she is right the corners aren't always nice. 😂

[@UnfinishedStitches]

You go girl!
