Just a pro tip from an upholsterer/custom boot maker... If you spray aerosol silicone spray on your table/sewing machine bed and wipe with a piece of t-shirt your materials that stick will slide, it will last quite awhile also, a quick spray on a rag and wipe down will get you through a small project.

Vanessa Mtz, Yep. Cut the templates out of cardboard or sandpaper; hand cut each & every little piece. I was going to say, probably sometime in the 1980’s, because my first quilting class was 1981, (quilting was just starting to come back in style) and we (students & teacher) had not yet heard about the rotary cutters and acrylic rulers. But as soon as I did, I bought them! That changed everything! Especially the clear rulers, which are a huge help for all kinds of sewing & crafting. Before that, rulers you couldn’t see through. (How archaic, lol. But seriously, so annoying!). And of course, the rotary cutter, so MUCH faster & more accurate (although there was a learning curve to hold it properly while cutting) and I was terrified at first I was going to cut myself, but I never did, am always careful. I still have my original 28 mil Olfa cutter, & then added a Fiskar’s ergonomic 45 mil, and they’re both still going strong - I still use them. Didn’t realize it had been so long, lol! Still have my original acrylic ruler too, although I’ve upgraded those as they’ve improved leaps & bounds, esp. thicker & better markings. Wow, I think I’m officially vintage, lol!😬

Thanks for the idea for a simple project. Love the fabric! A helpful tip for working with clear vinyl is to place a piece of tissue paper between the vinyl and the sewing machine and then it just tears away after you sew and it keeps the vinyl from sticking. I use the tissue scraps that come with the interfacing.

Just found your you tube and think your instructions are very detailed and can’t wait to try and make one. Love that you are using the vinyl I bought the annies one isn’t that easy to get here in Australia. A tip for cutting the vinyl is to use an older rotary cutter (I use a sharpie on the blade to write blunt) not the brand new one as the vinyl blunts the blade. Also please please remember to close your blade every time. My first patchwork class I had a nurse and she told us she had seen so many people with toes cut off from dropping the blade on their toes. It was a good habit to get into. Also the same for the scissors. I now know why my mum used to scream not my good scissors when I was a kid. Where did you get the cool zips? I also have a roller you can use to finger press . I have liked and subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more videos from you. From Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

What an amazing idea!! I'm going to make several of these this afternoon for my daughter to take to work with her. She teaches at a preschool/daycare center and they will be perfect to put the little ones extra clothes, dry or wet (accidents do happen at daycare😉). So thank you so very much for this quick and very useful tutorial!!
Made this bag in under an hour and I love it, wish I can share the picture of finished bag. love your tutorials and enjoy watching them , thank you!!
I make close to the same bag,but with material,comic strip newspapers, and packing tape.These materials also make great,colorful wastebaskets.thank you for the video.😉
Thanks for the idea for a simple project. Love the fabric! A helpful tip for working with clear vinyl is to place a piece of tissue paper between the vinyl and the sewing machine and then it just tears away after you sew and it keeps the vinyl from sticking. I use the tissue scraps that come with the interfacing.
ooh Lauren i knew i liked you from the start, YOU GOT A KITTY! SO PRECIOUS! But gurl, i am TRULY DIGGIN THAT MICHEAL MILLER FABRIC! I went on Amazon to see if i could find it, they didn't have it but i found some more really cool fabric prints of his. but i Love that print you got! it reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Lithenstein.

Yeah. Never see this kind of iron. Cool.
My cat was intrigued by Ben’s chatting. :)
This is awesome. Iʻm working on a vinyl case to protect my documents from the rain and Iʻm glad I found your tutorial first before going too deep. The pattern I was using wasn't quite right and now I'm going to switch to your version. I love your fabric and colorful zipper too! Thank you sharing this tutorial!
I love this tutorial and have made one. I am busy making 10 more of these bags for my daughters crèche so the kids can put their lunch boxes in them. Thanks again for this clear and easy tutorial. I also see your iron. I would love to get one for myself.
Really enjoyed watching your video! I'm not a seamstress, but you make me want to give it a try. By the way, that is THE absolute coolest iron I have ever seen! Can't wait to show my aunt (she's the seamstress in the family)! Thank you so much!!!
OK...LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! I am on my way to my to my sewing room! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Great job - explaining it so even a beginner can do this! 👍🏼😁
I absolutely love, love, love this bag! I crochet and this would make perfect project bags! I will be making lots of them! Thank you for sharing this with us!
You are extremely talented! Love watching you✂️
You gave a very nice tutorial. Very informative and you have a pleasant voice to listen to. I love the bag you made! It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your project.
Wow! Not only is this a useful ‘On Trend’ project, the tutorial is well made! Your directions are clear, concise, accurate, informative and well-spoken. Your instructions/directions may move a bit quickly for a brand new novice sewer, however you answered every question that popped into my mind. (Novice sewers, just watch it a couple times. There’s LoTS of great info) Your tutorial is the best I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you for including thickness of the clear vinyl, length of stitch as well as your seam allowances. I wouldn’t have remembered to lengthen my stitch until after I got started... and then I would have perforated the clear vinyl. Also, thank you for not including a long introduction into your ‘life story’ or cheesy music. (Hey Ben, Cool 🐈)
Awesome tutorial! You're great at mentioning all the little important things we might forget, and really keep the talking informative without stumbling around and repeating things! That bag is so nice. Thank you for uploading. :)
I just love this video. So glad I found it. I followed the instructions and made a bag today. It turned out so cute. The instructions are very easy to follow which is something I really appreciate. Thanks for sharing your sewing skills with us!!
I saw your video and I said I need to make this! I did as soon I get home and it’s beautiful! Thanks!
I love this , I'm going to make this for my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing this and for being professional Regards from Iceland
Absolutely LOVE your tutorials...you are so easy to follow and so encouraging. Thanks for the ‘Pro’ tips and yes ....you are a pro!
Fabulous! I really need some bags like that, too! Good to find your channel, Lauren.
Sew fun! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!
How cute is that. I always gravitate towards this style of cosmetic bag (clear vinyl). Thank you for making this tutorial.🙌👏💕
I'm so glad I found this video. I've made a few full vinyl bags but I love yours more with the material at the bottom. I just bought a large roll of vinyl. Great video.....so easy to follow. Thank you.
You are the bomb. Can I tell you how long I have been trying to learn about Vinyl and fabric just like this, in general. I make jewelry and like to include some fun stuff but I don't want to dig deep and learn all of it for the few times I use it. I wind up just giving up and never actually making anything. It's a hassle. I have seen countless tutorials and they say "buy vinyl sheets" "get fabric, all types, at stores that sell it" omg. Finally someone said something that I can use and really make something ..Thank youuuuu! Wish I found you first.
I stumbled upon this video and decided to give this project a try I made two today. The first one gave me a few fits with the zipper...so I slightly altered the second one. Fun pattern.
I love the way you work, it’s so efficient!
Wow great thanks for sharing all the great shortcuts. I will be making these bags. You are amazing .
Such a fun project !!! Loving that zipper :) Thank you
Omg amazing, detailed video. AND I LOVE your commentary. It's actually hilarious.
Now when I'm done I'm excited to bring it with me to put my groceries in!! They banned plastic grocery bags here in OR...so..yeah!Thank you!!
I love this little bag. I even had to order the cartoon material.
My first quilting class was an Eleanor Burnes in the early 80's. My first rotary cutter had 2 blades and you adjusted the width between the blades, no rulers used, lol. The 60's....silly girl, lol..
My first time watching you. Wow you know what you’re doing and describe it so well.!
This is a great project! Thank you for sharing it with us. I will be making several of these for my quilting friends.
That blue it's mesmerizing. This looks easy enough for me.
I absolutely love the bag. Thank you so much for sharing your work and ideas. I subscribed !
Lauren, I just wanted to let you know that “Salirite” has the zipper jig for $45.95. It’s exactly like the one you have. I bought it and it’s worth every penny.

A friend of mine will love this. She can’t stand not seeing her stuff. Thanks Lauren
Love the tutorial, and also love the way you infuse the enjoyment of sewing, easy use of great tools, and the importance of buying good quality tools because they last. (Plus, I never know what color your hair will be!!! Fun!)
Those are so cute and would love to make bags for number of grand nieces next Christmas. Great for their school stuff
Thank you for sharing with us. I made one for my mom and her best friend for all the meds and they love it
Your tutorials are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing all your creativity ☺️💕
Thanks for this!!! I love watching you work! You work VERY quickly!!! :c)
I love this bag! ❤️ Hello Ben! 😘❤️
Just found your you tube and think your instructions are very detailed and can’t wait to try and make one. Love that you are using the vinyl I bought the annies one isn’t that easy to get here in Australia. A tip for cutting the vinyl is to use an older rotary cutter (I use a sharpie on the blade to write blunt) not the brand new one as the vinyl blunts the blade. Also please please remember to close your blade every time. My first patchwork class I had a nurse and she told us she had seen so many people with toes cut off from dropping the blade on their toes. It was a good habit to get into. Also the same for the scissors. I now know why my mum used to scream not my good scissors when I was a kid. Where did you get the cool zips? I also have a roller you can use to finger press . I have liked and subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more videos from you. From Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful ❤️ sewing room 👍
Beautiful bag! Thank you for all the tips! 🌸🌺🌸
I love your videos...I'm trying to start a home based sewing business myself...
Thank you for the video , I can’t wait to start my bag
First time watching you thoroughly enjoyed the video and your instructions
great pattern/bag I made 2 today ! Ok have to add that the vinyl I used was probably for table coverings from Joann but it worked great - I only seem to have an issue with the zipper foot pushing the zipper over and being a bit wonky. I have a new 770 QE plus so I am learning a new machine as well but I love the results I will add a picture of my bags -
This is exactly what I was looking for thanks. You’re explain it so easy!
You made it look so easy, the bag is beautiful
Absolutely love, love, love this bag and the tips and tricks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! These are so much fun to make!
Love the hair grips as fabric clips
Lauren. I just think you are beautiful and such a wonderful person and I love following all your tutorials. I have learned more from watching you. Keep making videos for us and never change your personality. Biggest fan. LlNDA
I love this video. And how you explain the whole project. I just bought a Juki 1541s. This will be one of my first projects. Thanks again
Great instructions! Thanks for showing the process to make a completed project!
You make it look so easy...... gonna try these today😉

I really loved this video, so good to see someone so young with those kind of skills. Thanks for sharing. I’m wondering what kind of iron is that? I love this❤️ nice sewing machine.
Love it and the zipper is cute!
I'm teaching my 7 yr old grandson to sew. This will be a great project for him to learn and it will whole his interest. Especially since he can put his lego toys in. Thank you.

Good idea grandma! I am not a grandma , but your idea for Lego bricks which I still have loads of, I am saving them for my grandkids which I hope to have one day😊 What i love is that you are going to teach a grandson ! I love when parents and grandparents teach male offsprings domestic skills. I have a hubby that brings me everything to mend ...sad ...his mom did not teach him basic domestic skills. It was to repair the hem on his pants. I taught my sons to repair hems, sew buttons back on shirts. No one is going to do that for them , I didn't want them coming to me when I am age 80 to repair their clothes . I am going to attempt making this bag .....I like the idea to pack stuff for vacation . Thanks for sharing !
I love this! I'm a total newbie, so I don't feel quite ready to tackle this, so I'm saving it for later. I'll get there one day!
I love this bag and your instructions are very good! I can’t wait to try it!
This is super dupperrrrr pretty 😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank’s for sharing!
It came out awesome 👏🏻Thanks for sharing your talents!!!😎
This is so cute and pretty easy to make🥰 Loving it.
