very cute. I also read to use tissue under the plastic to keep it from sticking….never tried it….just read about it on a tutorial for covered coasters.

Yay! I knew you’d do a much better job making something with it than I could

That fabric is all kinds of awesome.
Another trick for sewing with vinyl is to put painters tape on the bottom of the sewing foot and anywhere else that the vinyl sticks. Works like a charm and doesn’t leave any residue behind.

Too cute! I made a vinyl dress back in the day and to keep the vinyl from sticking to the face plate, I covered the face plate with a piece of tape. It totally worked and it comes off easily when you’re done.

It looks really nice!
I have a tip if you are going to sew on more vinyl, that arent the iron-on. Use some freezer tape. And tape the pieces that are going to have seams (just where the seams are gonna be are fine), then it will be more friendly and move along when you sew.

Nice! I will have to look for that iron on vinyl when I go home in August! Surely they would have it in Atlanta, GA! I wonder if you could iron it directly onto a crochet piece? That would be a great and easy way to line a crocheted purse!
I just finished the head and body of my fuzzy rat! I think I told you that I got Paton’s Divine for it? Anyway, I thought I would go crazy working with it at first! I COULDN’T for the life of me find the BACK loops! So I ended up going through BOTH loops for the first 6 rows or so, and then MIRACLE I managed to SEE the back loops and stuck with them from there! Amazing! I couldn’t believe I was actually crocheting with that stuff! But FUN! Yesterday I finally got the 3 balls of Lion Tiffany in Camel that I ordered! Have you ever see it? Sooo soft! After the Paton’s, it should be a breeze to work with!
