Thank you, Jess, for linking my channel and for recognizing my work. Today I hit the 1k subscriber mark and owe you a tremendous bit of credit. Thanks for leading the way with exceptional tutorials to model myself after, for your help with my audio woes, and for promoting my channel in your stories and this video. It means so much!
I found this and tried the htv liner. AWESOME! I did my htv on my vinyl and then cut it on my Scan and cut, then installed my zipper according to the pattern.
I’ve had the purse pal and the pocket pal patterns for a while. I made them and they were okay. After your tutorial, I made some more with HTV and the tabs. What an amazing difference. I love the ideas! Thank you 😍
Thank you so much for doing this! I've done the fabric hack before, but it's so much easier to follow along with a video. Every time I try to follow along the written directions that I have for it, I always seem to miss a step and have to go back and correct mistakes. The video's always mean not missing steps. ♥
Hi Jess....what makes this tutorial even BETTER, when 2 creators come together & support each other! AMAZING!!!! 👏 ❤❤❤ Love Linds patterns, this was a great added BONUS!
Thank you for the informative video of the pursepal hacks . I have seen them on the Facebook group but couldn't quite work out how it was done, since watching this tutorial it's like a light bulb moment and now they make sense as I'm a visual learner. Another great tutorial from you and very easy to follow and understand.
Could you add the zipper before the HTV so the edges of the zipper aren't visible? Cute, cute idea! I have tons of HTV and lots of glitter vinyl. Time to purchase a pattern, lol!
I absolutely love this hack!! I am nervous to work with vinyl and I have,like everyone else, have a ton of quilt cotton. Thank you Kirby for figuring this out. I have already made one and I have to say I am impressed with myself 🤣🤣. Jess Oklaroots you do an amazing job explaining the steps. Thank you!!!
Thank you for the great video! I bought the pattern the other day and love the lining and D ring hacks but I just saw one with an ID window below the card slots and would love a hack for that, also.
@@OklaRoots thank YOU for putting this together! Your work is so appreciated!!! Also thank you Kirby for this brilliant hack, and Krystal for the HTV idea! I would have never thought to use HTV as a lining but what a great cost and time saver
My customers were wary of the cash pocket not being secure so I add another snap to the cash pocket so that it keeps closed. After I topstitch the cash pocket (with the card slots) I find the center and add the male part of the snap pretty much right under the top stitch on the side of the pocket that's going to be on the inside. and then I line it up with the folded main piece before sewing, to add the female side of the snap under the liner of the zip pocket. You have to basically undo the spray adhesive to that side of the pocket liner in order the attach the snap but it's pretty easy if you're not using the hardcore glue beforehand. I wait to glue my main piece until after I attach that snap. Also, my machine hates double-sided tape. It ruins my needle and makes the stitches really bad. So I use the glue stick on the card slots and the zipper and I iron after every fold in the card slot strip to keep in place.
OMG Im so lucky to be subscribec to your youtube channel I just made a couple of these and today by chance I happen to see this video and got the snap tabs for my next purse pal thank you so much for sharing
Holy Guacamole!!! The wheels have been turning in my demented little mind to incorporate sublimated waterproof canvas into the Purse Pals.....these hacks are fantastic and I will incorporate them into my mad scientist experiments with the canvas and see what I come up with----I've got high hopes for this.....I know what I will be doing this weekend!! Thanks for the fantastic video!!!
Hi. Where did you find that beautiful metallic snakeskin vinyl in the first example you showed within the first minute of this video? Thank you, by the way, for the detailed tutorial you made using vinyl. I have had tons of success.
I love the hacks! I made my first pursepal today after watching a couple of tutorials like this one! My hack for the creditcard slip was to use machine embroidery lightweight cutaway interfacing. Worked perfectly!!!
I’m sew missing my craft room esp after watching this!!! (we recently moved) This will definitely be one I want to make. Great Christmas gifts. Thx Jess, you rock💞 and thanks to the ladies for their hacks💜
Love these hacks. With the first one, if you glue the external edges down and then glue the lining fabric over the top, you won’t have any raw edges showing inside, well I didn’t anyway. Going to try the htv one next.
This is what I did also. I also made A smaller zipper facing 2x7" instead of stitiching the lining, ironed it down, then put the lining and zipper in like the original pattern.I use the exterior fabric for the facing too.
Oh my gosh, I literally just cut everything out and applied my zipper. I may just remove the zipper and cut HTV. This will be so much better and easy! Lol. Thank you! What size needle did you use for your Bernina to sew these please? You’re awesome!
I think I need to stop watching you videos. You make me want to buy all the patterns and all the cheeky wee goodies. Embroidery machine , HTV embroidery files pretty vinyls 😂😂😂😂. In all seriousness I adore your videos. I am super keen on HTV for this project though. When I do buy this pattern I’ll be using that hack for sure as I love the cheeky wee bit of glitter in the pocket. Thank you Jess for sharing the hacks from these lovely makers xxxx
Thank you for this amazing video. Question, I am having trouble figuring out the process using vinyl instead of fabric on the outer and pulling through the inner fabric lining. Help and ty!
Ok I love the hacks, in particular using the htv for the lining of the coin pocket. However, how do you insert your tab underneath it when you go to put everything together? I could not for love nor money get the htv unstuck even a little bit from my vinyl in order to stick the tab down under it!
Hello Dear Jess, could you please let me know where to get this amazing reptile like vinyl???? Can’t find it anywhere. I am obsessed!! Thank you so much.
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns really! I was thinking about doing that, and wondering how well thin htv would cover the ends of the zipper tape/teeth and if they would eventually wear through, separate, peel, etc. Any feedback? (Thanks!)
@@Audtoo Jess linked to Krystal’s video above, she’s Charmingcheekboutique. I’ve actually never done any of these hacks. I only do it the traditional way I’ve written it, with leather for the most part.
I use sublimated waterproof canvas for the zipper pocket on the outside and inside with decovil heavy between the two layers and then I edge coat everything it works great.
I thought you might want to know about the new elastic thread from Germany called Saraflex, you can machine wind it on a bobbin but you have to go slow while winding or you'll warp it
Do you have a video that shows how to install a zipper pull on zipper tape so that the zipper is closed on both ends? I can’t figure it out. My zippers are always open on one end after installing the pull.
i find it difficult to source nice vinyl so i have bought some clear heat transfer vinyl to try and in effect laminate some quilt cotton. haven’t done it yet though cos i’m scared to ruin it 😂 xx
Oh darn is this pattern not available to Canadians ?? I clicked on the link because I wanted to get this one but said not available.. 😢I then tried the acrylic templates but I couldn’t go there either..
Hoping someone can advise me on the weight of PUL for card slots. I'm in the UK, no longer get to visit fabric shops as I used to and we have nothing like the variety of fabric available in the US. I've found some online that says it's 2oz. Is that about right? A year late finding this I'm afraid!
Love all these Hacks Jess!! Just bought the pattern for both Purse and Pocket Pals. Been putting it off 😆! So one question, if I do the cotton exterior hack with the HTV hack instead if cotton lining,, what about the exterior fabric edges in the zipper hole? Do you still just sew around the hole, then cut and fold and glue then apply HTV, then apply zipper? Or can you only use the HTV hack with Vinyl Exterior. Thanks!!
I purchased a similar wallet several years ago which I use ALL the time. I bought this pattern but it's missing what mine has. I didn't realize it at the time. Mine has a slip pocket on the back side and there is an ID window on the back of the slip pocket. Great spot to put your license. I find myself putting my much used cards (gasbuddy card - starbucks card - grocery store card - in that little slip pocket. so I'm trying to figure out the best way to add that to this pattern. Mine is made of a type of vinyl material. maybe you can figure it out.?? thanks!
For the htv lining hack, for cutting it with a cutting machine, you can either adhere the htv to the exterior vinyl first, or you can duplicate both the lining and exterior layers and align them so they are centered, then slice, it will leave the zipper cutout on your lining piece, and you can toss out the extra cuts. this way everything will line up perfectly during assembly.
Hi! :) Any thoughts on using HTV for the snap tab too? :) I did a leather strap all alone because it seemed plenty think but I thought the HTV would be fun too. Since this was my first time using it, I am not sure how well the edges stay in place, but with topstitching maybe it would be just fine?
Love the hacks. Do you know if the embroidery snap tabs will work with older embroidery machines that require .sew or .jef files? I have a Janome MC10000. I sent CreationsbyConnie an email a few days ago but have not heard back from her.
Wow!! Thank u so much Jess! Thank u for looking out for the RUclipsrs. U are an amazing teacher. Question: Is there anyway u can place the zipper between the vinyl n lining to hide the raw edges of the zipper?
Hi! Krystal here. Jess has my video linked where I first showed the idea. I should do an update but yes, you can fuse the HTV after you’ve installed the snap, credit card slots and zipper.

I’ve wanted to try but hesitated bc I see so many hacks and wasn’t overwhelmed. Thanks for putting this together, so helpful.
Agreed!! I want to learn the fabric hack🥰
@@tiffaniedwards5637 I shied away from this because Linds had said the fabric frays. I'm curious to see how well it holds up!
Hi Jess....what makes this tutorial even BETTER, when 2 creators come together & support each other! AMAZING!!!! 👏 ❤❤❤ Love Linds patterns, this was a great added BONUS!
I really like that hack with the zipper lining!!!!! Thanks for this!

Thank you! I love the lining hacks - both are genius.
Thank you for this fabulous video. I had picture it but had a couple of questions you just answered. Thanks Jess!!!! 💜
Awesome trips and hacks! Thank you for sharing your talents and time with us!
Thank you for the great video! I bought the pattern the other day and love the lining and D ring hacks but I just saw one with an ID window below the card slots and would love a hack for that, also.
I’m excited to try the hacks, I made a regular one and used oilcloth instead of vinyl and it turned out so great!
The things I would do for a venti pumpkin cream cold brew 😂😂😂 12 more days for Starbucks! Can’t wait to try the HTV method, such a good idea!
Thank you so much for your help with this Kaylee!!!!

Could you combine the two hacks and use the cotton woven with the decovil for the exterior and the htv as the liner?
can you do the cleanup clutch please
I love these hacks so much!!!! Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to get to my sewing machine this weekend!
Eeeeee a new machine! Have fun!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, you are a great instructor!

i use heatnbond on the lining and layer the zipper in between
Very cute!
Thank you so much for this. I have have several I’m working on and the hacks will definitely help
is there another source for the acrylic templates?
I love all your videos 😍.
Could I use RFID Blocking Fabric for the lining
That’s cute and I love hacks.
I’ve had this pattern for so long but haven’t worked on it yet. Can’t wait to 🥰
Give it a try! It’s so fun!
Do you have a video on places to purchase vinyl? You always have the cutest!!!
I just realized one of the 17 cm Sunthega Embroidery bracelets would look very pretty as the tab on the Purse Pal.
Thank you for this amazing video. Question, I am having trouble figuring out the process using vinyl instead of fabric on the outer and pulling through the inner fabric lining. Help and ty!
Could you please tell what kind of heat vinyl transfer you use I’m new to vinyl

Hello Dear Jess, could you please let me know where to get this amazing reptile like vinyl???? Can’t find it anywhere. I am obsessed!! Thank you so much.
I love this pattern so much, I was wondering can we put a stip of vinyl ont the back and make a clutch like purse out of it? Would that be dooable
Can you guide me to a good place to buy fabric suitable for bags and wallets? Do you use regular quilters cotton?
Great video. Where do you purchase your HTV and what type do you prefer?
Maybe you could add the zipper then do the HTV over the zipper on the inside to enclose the zipper edges. 🙂
That’s exactly how my admin Krystal does it 👍🏻
@@LindsHandmadeDesigns really! I was thinking about doing that, and wondering how well thin htv would cover the ends of the zipper tape/teeth and if they would eventually wear through, separate, peel, etc. Any feedback? (Thanks!)

Has anyone tried this htv on cork?
Super niceeee
If you put the d ring on that edge won’t you lose the contents of the slip pocket?
I use sublimated waterproof canvas for the zipper pocket on the outside and inside with decovil heavy between the two layers and then I edge coat everything it works great.
I want to do cotton but also want to put my cell phone in slip pocket. So would 9 1/2 x 9 1/2 be the correct size for the exterior zipper pocket?
When cutting out the decovil using the Cricut Maker, what material do you select and pressure? I love these hacks. Thanks so much.
I thought you might want to know about the new elastic thread from Germany called Saraflex, you can machine wind it on a bobbin but you have to go slow while winding or you'll warp it
Hi Jess, can you also use the hgv heat transfer vinyl on the pocket pal which has only one piece? I mean htv
Where did you get the beautiful rainbow snake print vinyl??
Wow so what if you use double sided fusible decoville?
What is everyone using to punch the holes for the credit card slots?
Where do I get the
Pattern for the tab closure? I would like to embroider.
Could heat transfer Vinyl be used on an exterior as well?
I love the hacks!!! I went to the link for the templates but it did not work :(. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!
are the wallet tabs from Connie going to be long enough for purse pal
Do you have a video that shows how to install a zipper pull on zipper tape so that the zipper is closed on both ends? I can’t figure it out. My zippers are always open on one end after installing the pull.
Hey Jess what about increasing the size to allow an iPhone 12max?
Will u b selling more snap tabs
i find it difficult to source nice vinyl so i have bought some clear heat transfer vinyl to try and in effect laminate some quilt cotton. haven’t done it yet though cos i’m scared to ruin it 😂 xx

Is the HTV cut a 1/4 inch smaller. Thank you. It just looks like it is 😉
I do not have cricut machine. How to get the pattern? Thank you.
what kind of iron is that? I didn't see it in your list, and I need a new one. It looks nice :)
I think I'm going to use some bite me pinstripe canvas and a d ring to make one for my mom in law to match the purse I just made her.

I would like to see a hack for doing the Carly ID lanyard in cotton.
For the htv lining hack, for cutting it with a cutting machine, you can either adhere the htv to the exterior vinyl first, or you can duplicate both the lining and exterior layers and align them so they are centered, then slice, it will leave the zipper cutout on your lining piece, and you can toss out the extra cuts. this way everything will line up perfectly during assembly.

What is your iron? I need a new one.
My hack would be to make it long enough to accompte paper money more confortably. So longer and alittle deeper so dollars do not get caught in zipper.
Love the hacks. Do you know if the embroidery snap tabs will work with older embroidery machines that require .sew or .jef files? I have a Janome MC10000. I sent CreationsbyConnie an email a few days ago but have not heard back from her.

Thank u so much. I'll check it out
Can you use HTV with fabric on the outside?
Can you use HTV on cork also?
Wow, thank you so much
where can i get the templetes?
I believe she said she purchased them from Tops and Bobbins.
I use the flocked HTV. I do not like the roughness of the glitter vinyl on the inside of the pocket. The flocked is more like a felt lining.
This week's Connie's birthday huge sale come Friday
Thank you for sharing this. I saw it when you first posted and snagged some great files for next to nothing!
I’m having problems finding deco Heavy any idea where I can get some? The link sends me to overstock and says it can’t find.
Boxer Craft House carries both the heavy and the light. (USA)
If you’re in Canada, Emmaline Bags carries it and so does Funky Monkey Fabrics
I wanted to check out the acrylic template but the link doesn't work for me. Anyone else or is it just me?
I used the htv hack and I used htv on the strap and I used ribbon instead of waterproof canvas and I used double stock tape instead of glue
