Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Earlier this week, Skip To My Lou shared a tutorial for making fabric luggage tags. Now she’s followed it up with this tutorial for luggage tags sized to hold a business card. Instead of writing down all the information for the luggage tag, you can slide in a business card. Brilliant. Go to the tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
Awesome. How do you sew on vinyl? It will not slide/glide with the foot.
I have heard that putting a piece of tissue over the vinyl before sewing will stop it from sticking, and tears away without any traces. I have not tried this myself but hope it helps 🙂
