The Most Adorable Vinyl Quick Sew!! Let’s Make The Purse Pal from Linds Handmade!

[@lattelady57]

Pulling the threads to the back is brilliant!

[@rosaswart7787]

Hi Jessica, I live in South Africa, in Kruger National Park. I love your inspirational videos. Due to back issues I was confined to camp for 6 weeks and made over 30 of your grocery bags which everyone absolutely loves. I just wanted to say thank you for making it so easy and such fun and for your enthusiasm which is a great inspiration.

[@Sherrisewingroom]

Wow I thought I'd seen all your videos ! I had not seen this till the wallet was recommended on another site . I want to make this one .

[@analuisamom]

You take care of all the little details. Your hands move with the rhythm of art. Thanks a million!

[@rosemaryphillips1030]

Love the vinyl you are using in this demonstration!!

[@jackyf3505]

I used a scalpel at work for years for display work and always used a steel rule. A 6" rule (very cheap) would be ideal for the card & zipper slots so no pressure doing it freehand. Nowadays you can get acrylic rulers with one fine metallic edge for using a blade too. That lovely Xacto set of yours deserves a couple of nice ruler companions. 🙂

[@susanyoder5427]

For the card slots I used a cheap vinyl shower curtain. Works great and its thin.

[@shellylemons]

I completely understand getting around people. We finally took a vacation trip to Gatlinburg!!! My husband never had been to the mountains and freaked when we went up to the cabins. I laughed so hard. He is a big man!! He was in awe of the mountains.

[@LilMissMetalhead]

The best part is it comes with SVGs!! Woo woo

[@catherinefreimann9474]

Great tutorial as always. Wil be making these for presents

[@karinaagredano8099]

I love making these. For the inside lining I use HTV and also use my cricut maker to cut it out. Game changer.

[@angelac273]

You use Heat Transfer Vinyl for the inside lining?? HTV is not for sewing with.

[@MamaBanana]

@@angelac273 I think she meant it’s ironed on rather than used as a piece of fabric.

[@Spokenfan]

Purse Pal you say? We say...”Purse Awesome” 👏 That’s perfect 👍 Thank you for sharing 👍👍 Stay safe healthy and happy 🧵❤️

[@crafttacular9733]

I used a jelly roll strip for my card slot fabric, i didn't have to cut it and it was perfect!

[@vikibobula8930]

I just found this tutorial, and this wallet type is my favourite. My last wallet, same type like Your Tutorial, was just great and I miss it so much. Only one different, the label side is instead an ID- holder- window, added. Not everyones Wallet and an Eyecatcher! Thanks a lot for sharing the processe of making this Great Wallet Style!

[@therealgr8typist]

My Home Ec teacher in the late 70s did not teach us to secure our seams and my mom was appalled. She learned to sew in the 40s and pulling the top thread loop to the underside is how she learned, so that's what she taught me. When my home ec teacher saw me doing that, she decided then was a good time to teach everyone how to backstitch.

[@NaomiGarcia]

I had a heck of a time getting this pattern to print correctly..time to try to make it finally.

[@ilzeellis8998]

Cutie patoeitie..... Hallo there, nice, nice love watching you create beutiful bags etc. 🤗

[@CharmingCheek]

Great tutorial!!! Come join us in the Linds Handmade group - lots of answers for some of these questions - and of course we all love the perspective Jess brings. I just adore the way Jess teaches us how to make these patterns. I have a a hack for using HTV on the back of these instead of using lining fabric. Love now it works.

[@vernahernon8559]

Thank You!!! PUL is the answer I needed. Now I can finally make this pattern. Great video!!

[@sutela2060]

Awesome looks great❤ just started on wallets

[@dawnbyrd8704]

THANKS - I’ve wanted to try this but hadn’t seen a tutorial. You make everything look so doable!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Very cute pouch! Thank you for posting!

[@joannemartin8299]

I have made a bunch of these and love this pattern. I need more practice on my edge coating. I will not give up. 😊😁

[@lynetterene]

Noooo!!!! Don't give up....you got this

[@TheSassyBobbin]

Thank you so much for making the tutorial. I've been wanting to make these. Still waiting for the Mia zip around wallet😁

[@nancys4874]

Yay!!! I love quick projects. Looking forward to the rest of the projects this summer.

[@kristi965]

I bought this pattern a while ago but have been so intimidated to try it!

[@denisegeorgiades2887]

A really cute project. Thank you Jessica!! xxx

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

Love that you made this one!!!!

[@kateholligan3855]

Thank you for the fabulous tutorial!!!!!!

[@charleneslawson9447]

Great tutorial. Thank you.

[@gingers6392]

Jess!!!! Thank you!!!! I've been hoping you would do this video!!

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

I love this pattern. It is a perfect gift and comes together quickly. I use landscape cloth for the card slots. I make the card strap wider in Cricut design space. Having the Cricut cut the pattern makes it faster and perfect.

[@cindyhouse9467]

what blade is necessary in the cricut to cut this type of vinyl

[@PhilbrookHandcrafted]

@cindyhouse9467 I use the fine point blade and cut with the non adhesive vinyl setting. I check to make sure it cut all the way through before unloading the mat.

[@sharonfeatherstone8219]

Hmmm - for the tab I would probably cut with a ruler and use the pattern for the rounded bit only. I would do this for any straight line.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Your videos are what I look forward to on a Monday. You can use a nail file to sand the edge paint. Thanks for all your videos during this pandemic. You definitely deserve a holiday. If I can eventually travel back to Florida, I will definitely take you for a trip to target, joannes and Michaels xxx

[@deborahdavidson1220]

They are sewwwww cute!

[@lindateal1111]

I would probably take a sharpie marker to finish the edges. #lazygirl

[@dianebolles8534]

Girl, same here!

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

Jess, can you also do the fabric hack purse pal too?

[@lynetterene]

Yessss!!!!!

[@suesamara1]

That would be so helpful as I am a visual learner

[@sandrastephens1508]

This is perfect 👍🏻 I’m going to making a lot of these. Thank goodness my daughter has a cricut machine. All the best Sandra 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇨🇦

Quick patterns, thanks!

[@Noskipstitch]

I've been wanting to make this but was afraid to. Leaving raw edges scares me cuz I'm not very good at it. Thank u for the tutorial, I will try it but I hv to purchase the pul fabric. Thank u for ur amazing teaching!

[@suezeeq12]

Omg FINALLY! WooHoo I’ve been waiting for this!!

[@mariefritz1]

Thank you for the tutorial. I'm going to be making a bunch of these

[@devdawg22]

I'm not gonna lie....I just use a lighter and sharpie and it looks like it's edge Coated lol.

[@jessm2413]

Ooo what’s that process like?

[@mounabah9209]

This is a great sew. I made a few already and they are addictive!!! 😊

[@barbaranelms]

I absolutely love this pattern. I have made quite a few.

[@sallyturner1669]

In some of Linds other videos she uses ribbon for the card slots. Hope that helps someone.

[@karenpalmer9988]

In Linds video on making this she mentions you could use "Oly *Fun" which they sell at Walmart. I bought almost every color they had because it was on sale for $2.00 a Roll around the end of last year at my Walmart...It's reasonably priced, thin, and is used to make Grocery totes, etc... You should check it out if get the chance!

[@janetbailey4282]

lol I think you love playing with sticky tape........this could be tedious work for some, but your all into cut and tap and stick........love it

[@stellanovawares7113]

You must have a new camera. It is like you are here in my living room. Crazy good camera

[@lynetterene]

Liking it already girlie😊

[@MsChikis08]

Omg thank you for posting it, I’ve had this pattern for a while and have not made one yet

[@franceswegner6859]

Adorable

[@etmoa619]

Have you seen the purse pal made with the fabric hack? If you have, would you be able to make a tutorial on constructing the exterior? (Without dimensions of course)

[@joannemartin8299]

I have done the fabric hack. I love it!!

[@sp-d6465]

Hi!! What’s the hack???? Thanks 😊 xx

[@fosta60]

I would definitely like to see Jess' take on the fabric hack.

[@natashawhite26]

The hack is available in Linds group!

[@KSRowsell]

Search the name Kirby Rowsell in the fb group. You will find the hack

[@tiffanywilliams1990]

[@sandydarty7465]

Have you done a tutorial on the Slim sling by Linds Handmade?

[@xoKayefox]

I would also rather edge paint than make crossbody straps lol!

[@contagioncreationsnyc]

Does the applicator tip on the edge coat tool spin around or is it stationary?

[@jojowatergirl]

Love this! Thank you! Wondering if I can use the primer and paint for exposed vinyl edging on straps on bags?

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

Suggestions for other ways to paint the edges besides leather paint? Thx.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Some folk colour the edge in a matching permanent sharpie pen....I have done that before and it has worn well over time but you don't get the coverage or shine that Edge Kote gives..but it does help blend in pale edges on darker colours etc.

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

@@ParchCraftAustralia Thank you!

[@yoankadeangelo2024]

Hey Jess, I’ve been looking for the zip around small wallet video u mentioned in Instagram. Did u ever put that video out?

[@paulajanegoolamhossen5603]

Hi I love your tutorials and have tried several of them. I do however feel sad you use vinyl or cork most times. I live in Mauritius and these are not available. So please please make some in woven I have enough problems obtaining the different interfacings/stablizers. I will still keep watching I learn so much from you. So thanks.

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Do you feel the paper money slip pocket will hold the cash in securely? I've got the pattern but am hoping to hear those who have made it reassure me before I make it I guess. I was expecting some sort of tab or whatever to close over the side...thank you! I love the look and simple make aspects to it !

[@LindsHandmadeDesigns]

Yes! It’s my everyday wallet and when it’s filled with cards and coins, that slip pocket is pretty snug. I’ve never had cards or my cash fall out. Ever.

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

Yes, I’ve made two and it holds very well. I have been using mine now daily for about a month. 😉 I absolutely love it! Go for it!

[@jessicastump2157]

Would you please share where the white and silver vinyl came from? I need it in my life!!! Thanks love!!

[@marejensen8294]

on the tab if you TAPE the pattern piece down with masking tape then you can cut out your piece so much easier......if you don't have a cutting machine....

[@Aetheriea]

I kept wondering what edge paint was. I didn't know that's the weird stuff on the edges of my Disney card holder. Lol I was wondering what they used to seal those edges with. It felt like rubber. I definitely need to get some of this then. I wanted to try making some card holders to match my bags. xD Thank you for the awesome video! You make me want to buy the pattern and give it a try. :D

[@debraturnbull3562]

What size snaps and dies are you using? Molly and I NEED to know! Thanks so much for your continued good vibes and tutorials!

[@kathie1530]

Following

[@jtmurph7]

I would also like to know what size snaps and dies you used. I am very late to the purse pal party better late than never 😊 Thank you so much Jess for your videos!

[@dianebolles8534]

Thank you for another great vid. Do you think my Bernette b38 could sew through all those layers?

[@joyscranfield5527]

I've watched your video several times & like your little pouch more everytime. QUESTION-can it be made from other materials instead of vinyl? TY for sharing how it goes together, great job!

[@theblueskylounge6716]

She posted an update video that has hacks on other materials: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nabTpZicqrmjgrs

[@hope-e5c]

what size snaps are you using? Also, what size die do we need for the size snaps we need?

[@njhersch]

Where can I purchase the pattern templates for both the purse pal and pocket pal?

[@paolabanuelos5192]

Do you have a tutorial on a slouchy messenger bag? Like the one for Encanto? The one Maribel wears. Please.

[@debrachandler610]

I just finished my first Purse Pal!! Love love love it!! But the depth of my card slots are too deep 😬 the CC disappear when I put them in. My question is, when putting the dst 1/2” up from bottom edge, do you place it with the top of the tape or bottom of the tape on the line?

[@CadenceRushQuibell]

I have the same question!

[@jolynnbrummer5382]

What type of snaps did you use and did you purchase the dies and snaps from KAM Snaps?

[@allisonburnette7215]

At about the 12:10 mark, you say you mark the dots for the card slots on the back of the vinyl. How do you mark the dots?

[@wandacox7202]

Could put card slots on both sides.

[@DarleneLisaOwens]

I WENT INTO THE LINK THAT WAS GIVEN AND IT SAID THE LINK COULD NOT BE FOUND TO GET THE PATTERN IS THERE ANOTHER LINK

[@bethdavis4673]

Do you use a top coat on the edge coating that you do?

[@daneruser7980]

I have used only a marine grade vinyl. Will this work for this project or is it too thick?

[@amyproffitt5496]

Hi, when you make the Halloween one, maybe another video, the zipper you used was cool. We’re you able to find a black with orange zipper coil, or was that a red coil?

[@tevegrl]

Love this!! Where do you buy your vinyl/cork from??? Love the prints you use!!

[@suebelanger6528]

Is that Pul she used for the card slots ?

[@dianebolles8534]

Yes. I've seen landscape fabric used too.

[@kairosgcy4688]

Can you use Kam Snaps with this pattern?

[@dumbofreak]

Squirrel moment. I realized you have the lighter that Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg are promoting 😂

[@mkrgonzales]

The best duo ever 🤣

[@dumbofreak]

@@mkrgonzales they are the best!

[@tasare00]

Curious what Cricut machine and blade would be needed to cut out this pattern?

[@lngarm57]

What is the fabric you used for the lining (hot pink) and where can I purchase it?

[@amyproffitt5496]

Where do you find the 2” ribbon? Or what else do you use for the CC?

[@mrs.ruthallen9841]

The author of the pattern Linds uses landscaping fabric that she cut down. I personally didn’t have any so I tried two different things. I tried Muslim and 100% cotton and I ironed it very well and it looks fantastic no raw edges are showing since they are sandwich inside. Hope this helps you.

[@marianrooth9514]

So prove to me you don’t have New York City Roots? Love you

[@bethdavis4673]

The bottles of paint for the edge painting, how long does the bottle seem to last?

[@ReginaldSultanOfScat]

That zipper tho🤩

[@suzijames5601]

Would you use the base paint and edge paint for cork also or is that a different product?

[@neonsolofficial]

Yes!

[@4buckeyegirl2]

Hi! How do you install your zipper pulls so effortlessly? I’m constantly struggling to get the pull in. Any adv?

[@bethdavis4673]

can you sew over the beacon 3 in 1 glue or are you sewing past it?

[@OklaRoots]

I sew over it without problem, just don’t make the glue too thick.

[@maggieharmon9252]

I don't / haven't ever used vinyl or cork when sewing anything. I would LOVE to find out if it can be made from cotton fabric(s)? I don't even know where to get this cute vinyl from ???? I've looked at several places and can't find it. Any ideas or directions please from anyone? THANK YOU!!!

I loved the Joy but decided to go with the Scan N Cut because of the built in quilt patterns.

What size metal snaps are these? There are three size options in the link posted.

[@kari78063]

Can I use faux leather

[@ModernPioneerHomesteader]

Where did you get your bag tag?

[@Wulfgeist]

I need help!! I'm sewing with a Brother SE625 and every time I try to sew across the short ends where the zipper is (as in the "inserting the zipper" step) my bobbin thread wads up and catches! I also get alot of gunk on my needle from all the different sticky things in this area. It's really frustrating! Please tell me what I'm doing wrong!

[@leigh1010]

I absolutely love your videos. You explain everything so clearly. Would you be able to do more videos without vinyl? It seems as though every project I want to do has/should have vinyl.

[@OklaRoots]

Yes! I try to add those when I can. Check out my Liberty Shoulder bag tutorial, that one was done without vinyl.
