I discovered the joy of sewing vinyl when I whipped out a few little bags to organize things in my purse. I have one for everything: receipts, gift cards, business cards, lip glosses. I even made one to hold little things I find while out and about.
How to make your own organizational pouch (“King Regent” pattern, shown above in upper right corner of pic):
- Cut a rectangle of vinyl (5″x6″)
- Choose various colors of thread to embelish the outside, and sew lines or little pieces on
- Fold three ways (along the 6 inch side) and pin down one of the folds (when you sew this will be the pouch part, the other part is the flap)
- Sew up the sides to close in the pounch
- For the flap edge, trim a curve and sew a decorative rim~or simply cut with pinking sheers
- Sew a button on the pouch side, then dtermine where the hole should be on the flap
- Cut a button hole with scissors or a blade
- Repeat with all colors of vinyl and your purse will be cool and organized!
