Hi Misty - Great tutorial. Just a quick tip - when making a pocket out of vinyl, I go ahead and iron my binding and then slip the vinyl in between the openings and then stitch the pocket. You only have to stitch the vinyl once and you don’t sew directly on the vinyl. Just thought I would share that with you. It does make working with vinyl much easier. Perfect bag for anywhere that requires see through bags. Thanks.

[@darlenepalmer9837]

I little tip. Using a walking foot makes your bag sew together better. Also when you turn your bag. Heat up your ironing board with the iron. Then put the I vinyl down on the heated board. Will make it a little easier for turning. I have made many many vinyl bags. I think your doing a great job on your projects.

[@caralinehowden2951]

yes I was going to say the same thing. It does make a huge difference.

[@maplecountry4230]

Good tip to heat up the ironing board surface thanks!

[@evelyncraft1361]

I like the idea of the walking foot!!

[@barbaraparkhurst7859]

Hope you keep adding more of these At Home with Misty videos They are more cozy and personal. Thank you, Misty.

[@nola-gurl9595]

I saw a tutorial where you gently heat the vinyl with a blowdryer to easily turn without causes creases. Love this project!

[@mpete2525]

Love this series, Misty. You're doing a great job! Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@wandahoffberg9261]

Very easy to understand your directions Misty. It is a nice project.

[@vickyharms2554]

It's a cute bag. Before you plan on taking it to an event, you might want to check the venue's clear bag policy. According to the pattern, finished size is 10 1/2"x5"x15". The size limitation I'm most familiar with is 12"x6"x12".

[@Chriscreations123]

Awesome thanks Misty, I love your teaching technique. I can always follow along easily not too slow and not too fast!! Love the Tula pink bag too

[@GrannyS217]

Misty - I loved your tutorial! You have a gift to teach! I hope to be inspired for years to come! Thank you to Jenny for recognizing your talents ! I am so happy to start out my week with you! 💕🧵💕

It was fun to listen to while I put my feet up and grab my hand sewing. I hope you have a great day. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@lrobbe6079]

Misty,. Love your new videos!! I will be ready this summer to use this bag pattern to hold all my projects when I go camping. I have eight grandchildren and what fun it will be to sew one for each of them!! You are so sweet and wonderful!! God bless you and your family. We are so lucky to have you in our lives! Happy 🧵!!!

[@sharonw667]

Misty, a great tutorial. I have a question, what size needle do you used to sew vinyl? Many thanks for another interesting and fun project.

Great bag!! In addition to quilting/sewing I also knit and crochet so this is an awesome see-thru project bag! I can scrap bust and make something useful for myself and my fiber friends.

[@lisastreasures]

Love clear vinyl bags. Thanks Misty

[@cathynuytten798]

I used to make travel accessories years ago with vinyl inserts. I would put tissue paper between the vinyl and my pressure foot if there was no fabric there. Made the sewing easier. The tissue paper pulls away easily.

[@Dasburyfamily]

Wow, great tutorial Misty! Thank you.

[@samnkelstrunk2798]

I just love this! I have vinyl in my closet. Now I know what to do with it!

[@stevetaylor5581]

[@beatricecollins5429]

Love your bag, Misty. I believe I’ll try making one with a zipper across the top.

[@maryt2887]

What an ingenious design! I had bought a smaller vinyl purse a while ago, and it’s seen better days. I will definitely try this pattern in a smaller size. My purse had a cloth zipper bag attached inside by a strip of fabric so you could keep your money and cards out of sight.

[@susiesmith1686]

Much better video! Thank you for the changes - so helpful!

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Can’t wait to make a couple of these. Have a quilt retreat end of March and this will be perfect for a quilt project bag.

[@GIIG21]

Thank you Misty , great tutorial. Think I know who would love this bag so off to order some vinyl. 🙂

That is such an awesome bag thank you so much Misty for sharing this cool bag ❣️✂️🧵🪡💗💖💕❤️

[@lizhenselmeier7002]

I use a Teflon foot to sew vinyl

[@maplecountry4230]

For the number of times that I’m likely to sew vinyl would a Teflon foot be worth it? I’ve just put tissue paper between the foot plate and the vinyl for other things I’ve done. It tears off easily. Maybe I’ll need to sandwich the vinyl between 2 pieces of tissue paper for this project? I think that would work.

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Oh what a great video, hope you are going to follow up with other projects. You seem so comfortable in this setting and I have some vinyl from making project bags so this project is totally doable. Wonderful bag with so many uses!!!!!

[@fisherlady408]

Loved 💕💕the Tutorial and the bag. Can you show how to add a zipper to the top section of the bag in a future video please??

[@carolynquinlan5612]

Looks like one of those June Tailor zippers would be perfect. The one that would just slide on to vinyl and then sew .

[@patcoxen6857]

A cool zipper at the top would be an great asset as well.

[@deborahenyeart]

Would you please show how to add a zipper across the top of the bag so if bag is accidentally knocked over you don’t lose your personal belongs on the ground.

[@debbiebiggs3060]

Nice tutorial. When working with vinyl if you will put some paper under the plastic part it will move much nicer through your machine. You could even use paper towels underneath the vinyl next to the sewing area and it will keep it from sticking to your machine bed. That is one of the reasons when you buy vinyl it has paper wrapped around it

[@RosalindHicksBowles]

Nice video. Teflon foot or nonstick needle also helps sewing with vinyl,

[@evelyncraft1361]

Really good tutorial! You are a natural!! And you look lovely!!

[@cherylhornby5808]

I think it would be easy to add a recessed zipper to this bag, like you did with the easy quilted zipper tote? Before the final binding goes on.

[@marionbartley214]

I really like this bag great viedo.

Fun to watch

[@erlinepruitt3626]

I love your progam, Misty!!! Blessings!!! (erline from SC)

[@sandrajohnson4218]

Wonderful tutorial. We go to college games and that bag will be great. You should consider enlarging your ironing surface. The iron takes up most of the mat.

[@vickyharms2554]

You might want to check with the college where you attend games. For some, the cloth on the bottom may preclude it from being a clear plastic bag, and the size is larger than many stadiums allow.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Nice project!

[@sewlove]

You could’ve sewn with the fleece side up. The piece that does not have the stabilizer will just ease in. No stretching at all.

[@csherrod8536]

When I have to have the vinyl against the feed dogs, I use a strip of tear away on the vinyl.

[@debraraleigh9886]

Great video, looking forward to giving it a try. I also like the quilt you have in the corner. Can you tell me if you have the pattern or was it from another tutorial video. I love videos, it helps so much seeing it step by step. Thanks keep them coming Misty!
