What tyoe of vinyl to use on a cosmetic bag.
I picked glitter gold but i ll bet a dark navy would look really good against these bright colors too.
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.
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.
I love making cosmetic and makeup bags you can never have too many in my opinion.
Hold on to the tail when you start sewing.
Turn the bag out.
The higher the gauge number the thicker the vinyl.
You just need to get the hang of it.
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.
You can resize or ungroup and move them around if needed.
That way the vinyl will fit nicely into the bag sew along the line.
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.

20 gauge vinyl is very thick probably thicker than you want to use for sewing anything bag related.
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.
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.
Repeat for the other corner.
The finished size of this cosmetic bag is 9 long 5 tall and 5 wide.
It is still very durable easy to sew and not so thick as.
