Sewing with vinyl is fun and easy if you have the right tools for the job. Here is my free PDF Sewing Vinyl Guide if you need it.
For this needle case I wanted something SUPER fast that anyone can whip up with minimal time invested. A perfect fit for stashing in your purse or carry-on bag (hello EPP people) - as it's thick enough to protect and yet easy enough to sew, = it won't make you crazy. Plus see-through means Security will be nice, as you're not "hiding anything" right?! RIGHT.You need a piece of vinyl 13" x 5".

Instructions / if not watching video.
1. Cut vinyl out using template download (link above).
2. Place snaps with snap press or snap setter tool.
3. Sew sides using a teflon sewing foot, remembering to back stitch start and stop.
Finish by trimming threads.
If you don't want to add snaps, place a piece of vinyl across the body so the flap can tuck under it. I've put indicator marks on the template where it will go (on the outside). My strap measures 5" wide and 3/4" tall.

So fast, so easy, and so useful for any small items you want to keep protected or organized. Make a bunch to keep on hand as quick little gifts, tuck a gift card inside and there you go!
