Vinyl Project Bag With Self Binding Edges

Join me today as I show how to make a vinyl zipper bag. The large vinyl window on the front is perfect for seeing what project you have organized inside. The edges are all self binding, so no separate binding is needed. Grab your fabrics, a zipper, some interfacing, and the PDF linked below and you are ready to make your own vinyl project bag!

Thank you for sharing your mitered corner mistakes. We need to see the large and small roadblocks we may come across. This is an awesome project bag 👍

[@Whitney_Sews]

So glad that part was helpful! My corners definitely do not turn out perfect so I wanted to make sure everyone knows that is totally ok.

[@NonniMcMac]

Goodness! This is 1000 times easier than any of the other videos I've seen. I can't wait to try this! Thank you!!!

[@victoranetocruz8618]

You are my favorite sewist your directions are like no other!

[@theresamccormick8647]

You have the best tutorial I've seen. You give size information, well its the most comprehensive. Thank you so much!!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

You're welcome! Glad you found my video helpful!

[@beckynunn4649]

The way you do mitered corners looks easier than how I've been doing them. I am going to give that a try.

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! Let me know how it turns out :)

[@sherrigittel4623]

Excellent tutorial 👌 👍 👏

[@cindifairchild1846]

Best video for making these I have found. Love the self binding and agree that 1” is a must. Just made 3 and love them. Oh no fusible fleece on hand so I used remnant flannel and it worked great.

[@PupRiku]

Thank you so much for using a safety glove when cutting. So many people on here don't and I recently was in hospital after cutting the tip of my finger off with a roller.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I learned my lesson the hard way with a trip to the ER two years ago.

[@PupRiku]

@EasyDiy Projects I do now. It's not quite as neat but it's just as quick and safer :')

[@AdiarraS]

What a super cute project bag! So easy to customize to whatever size you need. Great tutorial, Whitney!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks so much! Glad you like it :)

[@lindaking1485]

Love this version. It saves fabric because there is no need to cut binding. I use small pieces of 1/4 inch double stick tape to secure the vinyl and keep it from slipping.

[@1954evelyn]

Great video I haven't watched you for a while I couldn't do music glad there was no background music on this one. Thanks

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks for the input. I have been making most of my videos without music for a while now.

[@1954evelyn]

@@Whitney_Sews thank you I will start watching again you are AWESOME!!!

[@cherriesnhoney]

this is brilliant! thank u for tutorial esp leaving in the corner attempts..lol cuz doing something 10x to get it is my life...looking forward to your other channel..i just got into embroidery.. because of your sundress pattern..tfs:)

[@Whitney_Sews]

I'm so glad you liked it! I definitely wanted to include that because my stuff is definitely not perfect and that's ok :)

[@kathietilton6794]

Another great project Whitney. Clear directions and comes out perfectly!

[@bingealicious5387]

Wonderful tutorial. TFS.

[@dianecole5582]

Whitney, I think you are amazing. You taught me how to make my first tote bag. It is so easy to follow you on tutorials. So thank you from a beginner sewer.

[@shanadt4163]

Thank you for sharing Whitney. Appreciated. I havent been sewing in a while...gives me some motivation again. Greetings from Cape Town SA

[@Whitney_Sews]

You are so welcome!

[@abutler7569]

[@Whitney_Sews]

[@mcloud1070]

One can never have too many project bags 😉 Thanks from France Whitney 🥰

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a wonderful zipper bag! Thanks for sharing!

[@Whitney_Sews]

You're welcome!

[@michellewright5470]

Love how you mitered the corners, I'm going to try that next time. Thank you 💜

[@Whitney_Sews]

Let me know how it turns out!

[@lesleygilbert1945]

Now I have both your Vinyl Bag video's on my Pinterest board - thanks Whitney :)

[@Whitney_Sews]

That is awesome!

[@RuthHernandez7218]

Thank you for sharing this project. I did my first self binding vinyl project bag. I love how well you explain and having free pattern in web site is awesome.

[@lindamcneely]

I love love love this idea with the binding. I think everyone has problems with the plastic. if you have some tissue paper handy you can cut it into strips and put it on top while sewing your edges and it helps to keep it in line. love your tutorials!

[@pamketron]

Hi Whitney - These are awesome bags. Love how you do the mitered corners. Much easier than other ways. I need to make a few of these when I get time. Hugs!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thank you! My mom told me of an easier way to mitter the corners that I need to try now.

[@pamketron]

@@Whitney_Sews Please share with us.

[@MargaretOfield]

Thank you very much for your generosity

[@ceciliam3692]

I always love your explanations :), thanks for the pattern. I will try it and let you know!

[@Whitney_Sews]

You’re welcome 😊 Can't wait to hear how yours turns out!

[@debbiedebbie9473]

Thank you very much ❤️

[@tinageorge8759]

Oh Whitney, I’m so very happy to see this tutorial and most of all happy to hear about your new cross stitching channel, I’m a stitcher so this is wonderful news! 💚

[@jenniferkirrane2276]

Thank you so much! Just downloaded. Can’t wait to get sewing x

[@Whitney_Sews]

Awesome! Let me know how your bag turns out :)

[@JackieKLG]

I love your mitered corner idea, I will give it a try!

[@mariarodz8004]

Thank you Whitney for sharing this method of binding! I will try to make this bags.

[@lindacontreras8862]

Great video

[@mariawilding1221]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have learned so much from you!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindadechow3703]

Yes, I am so happy to find this binding method, also the bag is great! I am now back into cross stitch due to your inspiration and would love to have a smaller project bag to carry along. Also having that vinyl on the front is genius because I am always forgetting what is inside my bags :) Thank you for another wonderful video. Thank you so much for the pattern. xo

[@dianamusto6109]

I made seasonal face masks with two different fabrics using that miter corner and edging. I love this see-through bag, might try it!

[@suejameson1517]

Excellent! Would also love a tutorial on your Mums thread and needle book!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Thanks! I'll let her know.

[@jaynegreen6279]

Thank you. I can't wait to try this pattern!!

[@2nywa2]

Great tutorial as always! Thank you, Whitney :-)

[@karenross3457]

Directions were concise and easy to follow. However, Etsy site wanted too much info for a free download which I felt uneasy sharing.

[@teenac643]

Thanks for this. I love your simple explanations. I was doing really well until it came to the mitred corners, I think I made my borders too slim so it was too fiddly. Do you also have any other way of doing self binding mitred corners? (eg. for quilts). Many thanks.

[@Whitney_Sews]

I believe this is the only self binding tutorial I've done so far.

[@cmowery72]

Went to your site to download the PDF, but at check out it would not allow instant download. It showed it as processing. Took several hours before I could view it.

[@debmac53]

This looks awesome! I can't seem to download it though.....can you email it to me?

[@cathyscreationandvlog4224]

What gauge vinyl did you end up using just a thicker gauge?

[@mariabernie4213]

I have not been able to download the pattern measurements. Does anyone have the measurements?

[@charlotteminichiello6260]

Have you tried punch needle

[@Whitney_Sews]

No, I haven't.

[@ashlumos]

Do you still take orders for memory bears?

[@Whitney_Sews]

Nope, I made 50+ bears in a year and got tired of it so I stopped making custom bears.

[@karenrobinson921]

Tried to download pattern and registration wanted me to sign up for music that I pay for in 5 days?

[@Whitney_Sews]

Not sure what that could be unless it was one of the ads google places on there. I just checked and it worked perfectly for me.

[@suedecelle7123]

Is there a way to download without giving a credit card, for a “free”purchase? (Red flag 🚩)

[@Whitney_Sews]

A credit card number is not required. That box is only there because I used to sell my patterns and the website is still set up as if it is a shop.

[@jolynnwhite7946]

🏳️‍🌈🧕🏿👌🏾😇🤓💕😍

[@lonabrown3011]

Sorry. Love the tutorial but am not going to give credit card information on a site for a free download.

[@Whitney_Sews]

A credit card number isn't needed. The patterns used to be for sale on my website so they are set up through a shop plug-in, but you can check out without adding any card info now that they are free.

[@lonabrown3011]

@Whitney Sews tried that and it wouldn't let me do it. Any other way I can get this?
