Super Quick Clear Vinyl Pouch!

[@dottiemathews6853]

OKAY, YOU GOT ME! I AM GOING TO TRY A LITTLE EXPERIMENT WITH A CERTAIN VINYL. I GOT MY TEFLON FOOT IN THE MAIL AND I DO HAVE SOME HEAVY DUTY NEEDLES TOO. I HOPE THIS WORKS! LOL! *sudden mad scientist laughter and thunder sounds in the background is heard*

Hahaha yasssss

[@imjazzi2]

When sewing on vinyl, we want to avoid putting an excessive number of holes so it is better not to backstitch as she is doing because this weakens the fabric. Instead of backstitching, leave long thread tails and tie off the ends using a surgeon’s knot. Thanks for posting!

I love that you shout out to zippervalley. They are local to me and freaking amazing to work with.

Soooo cute. Love the floral clear vinyl and paring it with the silver.

[@lasinmt106]

You had me at Silver Disco....girls just gotta have bling. Lovely video. I'm curious about your zipper jig. I made several but almost always end up just wiggling and toughiing on those sliders. I'm a huge fan if not obsessed fan for zipper by the yard. I find the #3's easier to get started than the #5's but I tend to keep 5 on hand for most of my other obsession which is PULLS....and charms for pulls...yeah. Who know when I started using zipper by the yard 40 plus years ago they would come out with all these fancy colors and pull combinations. I often wonder when they clean out my house when I''m gone what those folks are going to think I was doing...dragons, flowers, unicorns, butterfliies, silver, gold, rose gold, brass and on and on and is that a frog? Oh have to have that pair of earrings they would make the most adorable zipper pull.....thanks for your video. I made a similar bag on the fly this winter for neighbors and put a pair of CPR and choking equipment in it. All bright red vinyl and loop handle so it could be hung up too. Anyway a mutual friend lost their husband due to choking and I quietly gifted my neighbors a pair of these one for her husband to carry one for their car. I said not inside the house. WHY? Because you can get to your car most times even from the house and back in less than a minute or minute and half where if you are at the grocery or other location if it's at home it'll do no one any good. I know I'm such a stickler for details. Anyway she loved the bag so much she asked me to make a different color for her bestie. I said sure come on over and I'll show you how easy. I rarely measure and make anything twice identical so no pattern sewing is my cup of. Was having trouble finding the clear patterned vinyls today. Thank you for the names of shops that perhaps I can locate some.

Your video is really good. I have been trying different ways of making clear pouches and you made it so simple which is how it should be. Where do you get the zip joint gadget, it makes attaching the pull on the zipper so easy. would love to get one

It was a product I designed and had manufactured. It has since sold out but you can also use a fork or - amzn.to/3ZdmjXL

Exactly the video we all needed. Is it possible to make the top rounded versus hard 90 degree corners? Does that change how you’s sew the zippers? New sewer here!❤

That printed clear vinyl is sooooooo cute! Wish my machine liked to sew with it but alas, it doesn't. :-( Thanks for the tutorial.

[@LaurenMormino]

Oh no! Are you using a Teflon foot or walking foot? That can help!

[@Karen626]

@@LaurenMormino Yes, I've tried teflon foot, walking foot, tissue paper, scotch tape, and I still get MASSIVE looping underneath with the printed TPU vinyl I got from Wonderground. I have no problem with the clear By Annie's 16 gauge vinyl. HOWEVER, I just watched a Crafty Reporter video on IG, and Amber recommends increasing the top tension to fix this issue, so I'm going to give that a try. My machine is a Janome HD3000 for anyone wondering.

[@Karen626]

@Lauren Mormino Increasing the top tension worked like a charm (DOH!). So Now I need to stay patient for may drop of your beautiful clear vinyl.

[@thesparrowsnest8343]

@@Karen626 Glad you found a solution. 😊

[@doggydoc4uinnc]

I was going to say my Walmart Special machine loves vinyl so had to be thread. I have found out with mine the thicker the thread the higher I need to set my tension. I thought it didn't like shiny thread, it was me. Lol Tension issue.

Sewing with all vinyl is new to me and I was wondering why the zipper looks so wavy on the finished pouch? Is there something specific that causes that? Or is it just the way it will always be? Should I be aware of any technique to help minimize that waviness? I can't wait to make one of these! I need to order some of your glitter vinyl. I hear it sews nicely and is really beautiful.

Bring careful not to stretch the zipper can help. And a quick steam before sewing!!
