Quilting Board's First Scrap Club
#1291
Thanks, VickiM that was a great mini-tute and your bags are too cute! Do you mind if I ask you what you sell them for? I am hosting our first 'real' public craft show at our church in October and don't know how to price the things I make. Of course, hat being said, I know a lot of it depends on where you are in the country.
What puzzled me about the post from RWQuilts was the reference to "padded" vinyl. If you were to quilt vinyl on a sewing machine it would leave needle holes which I would think would 'leak' through if something spilled.
I'm curious to know if it is a special fabric and if so where would one find it. Can't believe there's a fabric out there that slipped through my radar of must have or at least must try!

I buy lightweight vinyl with a padding already on it. Since I don't plan on carrying water in my makeup bags, they do very nicely for makeup and spills. I don't use large needles either, but you certainly don't have to use what I use...different strokes for different folks.
Thanks,
Peggy

VickiM,
So just the 'table cloth' vinyl you buy at Wal-mart or JoAnns? Are you using the thinnest one? Do you include any laundry instructions when you sell them (hand wash, line dry?)
I'm on the opposite side of the state. Do you ever come to the Quilt Expo in Jacksonville? If so, maybe we'd have the opportunity to meet and do lunch one day.

what do you want in the next swap? I open to suggestions!!
I think bags of any kind would be good. It could be a tote or a purse or a makeup bag?
Okay let me know if you want to sign up for this. I can do a bag swap and then do whatever you all want after that one.
