Vinyl On A Plastic Makeup Bag?

In an effort to clean upwardly my

~~human action~~

workroom for the new yr,

I was trying to use up some scraps of home decor fabric

(left over from making this clutch for a Christmas nowadays)

and concluded upwards whipping upwards these somewhat matching make up bags.

And as promised to all you Facebook 'likers'

the tutorial is down there below.

Curl abroad.

They're not too large. Non too small.

Simply correct for you make upwards minimalists such every bit myself.

I lined them with vinyl then they would wipe make clean.

Yous know how messy that brand upwards tin can be and all...

You lot can come across the first one I made had a thicker loop strap than the second.

And I can't determine if the strap is actually necessary at all.

You exist the judge.

Anyhow, on to the expert stuff...

Here's how you tin can make one.

Assemble your goods.

You'll demand:
nigh i/four yd. medium-weight fabric (I used some canvasy home decor fabric I had left over)
virtually ane/iv yard vinyl (tip: don't use really thick vinyl hither because it will just make it more difficult to flip right side out)
1/4 yard iron on interfacing (optional)- I used Pellon #808 Craft Fuse Interfacing (also left over from making the clutch) *non pictured, too optional
1 9 inch zipper
matching thread
scotch tape
sewing machine with a zipper pes
heavy duty sewing needles. As you can come across, I used "jean" needles.

Cut material and vinyl.

I similar to get all my pieces cut and in place earlier I first annihilation.
You'll need:
two 10x9 inch rectangles of your exterior fabric.
two 10x9 inch rectangles of your interfacing (optional only recommended for a sturdier bag)
2 10x8.five inch rectangles of your vinyl
and a 2x6 inch rectangle of your outside fabric for the loop (also optional)

Run up the loop strap (optional).

Take your 2x6 inch piece of fabric and iron in half.

And then iron 1 raw border to the eye pucker.

And then the other.

Sew along both edges, close to the fold

so you cease upwards with a piece that looks like this.
And set bated.

Prep your automobile.

Y'all tin skip this next bit, but I don't recommend it... ;)
Get-go, place a piece of scotch tape on the bottom of your attachment foot.

So trip it downwards.
I used my smaller scissors to press it into the needle slots on either side.

Next, put a piece of scotch tape on either side of your sewing surface on your sewing car.

*The tape volition help the vinyl move along the surface at a normal step. Otherwise, information technology likes to stick.
And by "likes" I mean "loves". Vinyl loves to stick.

Adhere your zipper foot to your machine.
Okay, now on to the fun stuff...

Run up your vinyl to your zipper.

With the attachment pull to the left and facing down (as pictured),
stitch the x inch side of your vinyl to the zipper.
I find it's best not to pin anything,
simply take your time hither.
Patience is cardinal...
and always know where your zipper pull and zipper stops are.
Nothing more annoying than breaking a needle. Am I right or am I right?

Once you sew as far as the zipper pull,
with the needle in the down position,
heighten your attachment human foot and gently

move the zipper pull to the back of your piece of work, out of the way.
Now lower your zipper foot and terminate up the seam.

Overnice.

Now repeat for the other side of the attachment with the other piece of vinyl.
Don't worry if it's not perfect,
y'all tin can (and should) trim down the vinyl after to fit nicely into the handbag,
so you can even everything out then.

Attach your interfacing (optional).

Iron your interfacing onto your pieces of outside material until they are stuck together.
Follow the directions for the interfacing that you are using.
Atomic number 26 on interfacing is pretty cocky-explanatory, yes?

Now iron under 1/2 inch forth the 10 inch side of your exterior pieces (every bit shown).

Sew your exterior pieces.

Lay 1 of your exterior pieces (right side facing upwards) lined up with your zipper.
The zipper pull should be facing up and on the left side (equally pictured).

Stitch your exterior pieces to the zipper every bit you did the vinyl, sewing as close the zipper (without hitting it!) equally you can.
Remember to be mindful of your zipper pull and zipper stops,
moving the pull out of the mode equally you did before.

Repeat for the other side.

With the vinyl out of the fashion, sandwich the exterior pieces together, right sides facing each other.

If you lot're attaching a loop, put your rough ends together

and place in between the exterior pieces
up by the zipper every bit shown.
Pin in place.

Continue to pin the exterior pieces together all the mode around.

Sew the pieces together, using your pressure human foot as a guide.
Yous tin can see that I just left my zipper foot on.
Am I lazy or efficient?
Either way, yous tin switch to a regular foot if you like.

Looking adept.

Trim off the excess from the loop.

At present, trim down your corners.
Obviously you lot don't want to cut the seam you just sewed,
only trim plenty off that you'll be able to make a clean corner when your flip information technology right side out.

Adjacent, compression your corners,
lining up your seams like shown.

Tip: I've found that it helps to utilise the edge of the table for this part.

Using a direct edge, draw a line that measures 3 inches
perpendicular to the seam you only sewed
as shown...

Run up along this line,
and then trim off the corner.

Repeat for the other corner.

At this point, you'll desire to move your attachment pull so nearly of the zipper is open.
This will get in easier to turn out after.

Sewing the vinyl.

Sandwich the vinyl sides together every bit yous did the exterior fabric.
Trim it up and so the sides meet if you need to.

Make a mark 2 1/2 inches from the corner on each side.

Can you lot see them?

Now, sew from the mark to the zipper on each side,
using the pressure level foot every bit a guide.
Again, take your time.
If you endeavor to the push button the vinyl through the motorcar, it will just stick even more.

Next, trim up your corners,

and make the aforementioned pinched corners are you did with the exterior fabric,
except you lot desire the seam to measure 2 1/2 inches.
(that style the vinyl volition fit nicely into the purse)

Sew along the line.

Echo for the other corner.

Turn the bag out.
