I really like the new look the fusible vinyl brings to the zippered pouch. The fabric with the grid lines stitched on it does look cute! I also like that it now is easy to clean by just wiping down. I think I will make one that i can throw some make up in for my purse. So thank you for illustrating the fusible vinyl, didn't even know it existed!!

I'm using iron-on vinyl to make a reusable shopping bag. I also used a medium weight interfacing on the wrong side to make it stand up.

Thank you very much for your time in teaching and sharing your ideas with us:) You are appreciated!

Excellent tutorial! We use the reusable sandwich wraps with velcro closure. Saves a lot on sandwich baggies.

I have never sewn a zipper so to see it being added would be a treat. I enjoyed your enthusiasm.

Ok, so I'm watching this at nearly 5am (insomnia), and thought you actually meant running fabric through a back to the video. :)

I would use this fabric to make an apron because everytime I wash dishes the front of my shirt is always wet when I'm done

I like to use parchment paper to iron these. It’s reusable and a friend & I split a 1, 000-piece case from a restaurant supply store. I’ll never use it all up and it’s great for protecting my iron.

my dear God! this is sooo good!
I have been just thinking about to sew a zipper "pouch" to my brand new notebook, but I didn't know how to protect it from rain. and tadaaa, I have found this tutorial! thank you sooo much!
BTW I am obsessed with your videos, they are pretty helpful!
greetings from Hungary!

oh this is going to be so much fun! I see tons of laminated zipper pouches in my future with Bible verses sealed in between the fabric and the vinyl! Thank you for this video! God bless!

Thank you for this how-to video!!! I've been looking for something like this for a car upholstery project I have been struggling

[randyfernando]

Very cool ! Nice presentation, very clear and informative 👍🏻

[shirleyscarlato]

Great videos. I too never knew this stuff existed. I'm recovering the seat and back on my golf cart and this stuff will really help the beautiful fabric I bought last longer . I bought outdoor fabric but it is not water repellent so I'm definitely going to try this .Thanks alot

This would be a cute idea for a diaper bag or even to make rain jacket or poncho
