What tyoe of vinyl to use on a cosmetic bag.
Heat transfer vinyl on the other hand does not have a paper backing instead htv has a clear plastic carrier sheet that covers the top of the vinyl.
Choose the type of iron on vinyl you want to use.
Amy from ameroonie designs wrote an adorable diy makeup bag pattern to share with you today.
It is still very durable easy to sew and not so thick as.
Next trim up your corners and make the same pinched corners are you did with the exterior fabric except you want the seam to measure 2 1 2 inches.
I used 2 fat quarters and cut them to 14 by 21.
First i would make the stitch length a little longer and have a long thread tail.
I picked glitter gold but i ll bet a dark navy would look really good against these bright colors too.
20 gauge vinyl is very thick probably thicker than you want to use for sewing anything bag related.
The higher the gauge number the thicker the vinyl.
If you try to the push the vinyl through the machine it will just stick even more.
The other side is where the adhesive is it is not sticky or tacky to the touch.
Turn the bag out.
The biggest thing could be that your machine struggles to sew with it not you.
Vinyl isn t too hard to work with.
Adhesive vinyl can come in all kinds of colors and finishes but it will always have a paper backing and be sticky to the touch when that backing is peeled off.

Hold on to the tail when you start sewing.
Place your vinyl shiny side down on the mat and be sure to mirror the images before.
The finished size of this cosmetic bag is 9 long 5 tall and 5 wide.
I love making cosmetic and makeup bags you can never have too many in my opinion.
Repeat for the other corner.
Plus they make great gifts for moms or girlfriends.
If you are using clear vinyl as part of the lining of bags as in the set to go cosmetic bag pattern a 4 to 8 gauge vinyl is great.
You don t have to use fat quarters just cut 2 pieces of fabric to 14 by 21 one 14 zipper one piece 14 by 21 fusible vinyl one scrap piece of fabric 1 5 by 3 for zipper tab.
You can resize or ungroup and move them around if needed.
This makeup bag is extra useful because the interior wipes clean thanks to the vinyl lining.
