I'd never thought to box the bottom of my project pods. And a handle?!?! Two great skill builders? I love the French seam bottom instead of binding the inside and would never have dared try a handle with binding but now I'm going to have to! Thanks for ANOTHER fantastic project idea.

Yes!!! Boxed bottom for the win! Thanks, Tracy!

I truly appreciate your showing potential places for having difficulty: vinyl catching and how to problem solve that; keeping things square; extra length on the zipper and avoiding losing the pull; bumping against the machine with stiff fabric; almost forgetting the strap. I absolutely could see myself doing any of those things and appreciate the heads-up to avoid an issue.

❤❤❤❤❤ Great gift for anyone who sews, quilts, knits, or crochets. Would make a cute little travel bag for jammies, a book, and toys when kids are traveling to Grandma’s house or those who travel from one parent’s house to another. Maybe a school bag for young ones? I like to keep a set of clothes and a few toiletries in my car, so your Pod would be a colorful addition. I save XL cotton dress shirts for “man projects.” You can find some great ones at thrift stores plus my brother saves his for me. I see a travel pod in his future! Thanks for another great project idea. Your videos are always so inspiring. Great editing and photography. Plus I love your sense of humor. 😂

Hi Tracy! What a great project bag!

Cool video Tracy. I would love to design a reusable large shopping bag with a large rectangle bottom. I watch your videos alot. Thank you!

Love your positive attitude and tips. I have not sewed with vinyl before. Can you give me idea of how you would use these to hold a project. I use project boxes at home to contain my projects. They stack so that works for me. I just need some ideas what to use them for.

Fantastic tutorial! I learned a lot! Thanks, Tracy! I enjoyed seeing you in the video in Idaho at Di’s retreat! It had a lot of fun times!

I really enjoyed your tutorial! I will definitely be making these. They would make great retreat gifts.

Trick for vinyl, just put scotch tape on the bottom of your zipper foot & it will help tremendously with sticking! Not quite as good as a Teflon foot, but very close

to see the vinyl easier rub a permanent marker along the edges, they will be sewn into the seam anyway

I have been looking at the Laurastar but there is nowhere near me I can go see it and the Canadian company that sells them won’t let me return it if I don’t like it. I hope you can answer a question for me about it. Do you ever have the problem of brown spitting with this iron like irons with water directly added do?

@TheSewingChannel

2 ай бұрын

No brown spitting at all!

@donnadailey5062

Ай бұрын

I checked out the Laurastar, considered the investment in it, stuck with my Rowenta and bought a new Singer iron, any of the steam irons will eventually spit on my fabric, so... I made a silk organza sole plate cover (bought pkg of wool and silk organza from Farmhouse Fabrics, great place); I don't fear scorching my wonderful materials. I do heirloom sewing so keeping my materials pristine is critical. Good luck.

Do you use longer stitches when sewing the vinyl?
