Product Description

Black Soft Vinyl – Sewing Vinyl for Bag Making

Black Soft Vinyl is a soft vinyl with a brushed woven fabric backing that sews just like fabric on a home sewing machine – no sticking, no slipping. Use it for tote bags, crossbody bags, zipper pouches and in-the-hoop embroidery projects.

Black has more body and stiffness than our other soft vinyl colors, which makes it great for structured bags.

Specs at a Glance

  • Color/finish: Black with a metallic crackle finish
  • Size: 18" x 56" per piece (selvage edge 2–4")
  • Backing: Brushed woven fabric backing
  • Needle: Microtex 80/12
  • Presser foot: Regular, walking or Teflon foot
  • Care: Machine wash and dry on cool
  • Adhesive: None – made for sewing

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is each piece?

Each piece measures 18" x 56" (the selvage edge runs 2–4"). Plan your pattern pieces inside the selvage.

Can I sew it on a home sewing machine?

Yes. Use a Microtex 80/12 needle; a regular, walking or Teflon foot all work. Hold layers with clips – no pins needed.

Do I need interfacing?

It depends on your project. For a structured bag, use Sew Hippie foam, Sew Hippie fusible foam, SHH Fusible Woven, batting or fusible fleece. For a slouchy style, skip it.

Can I iron it?

Yes – iron from the wrong side, or protect the front with a Teflon pressing sheet. Always test on a scrap first.

Is it washable?

Yes. Machine wash and dry on cool.

Is this the same as adhesive craft vinyl?

No. This is sewing vinyl for bags and accessories – it has no adhesive backing and isn't meant for cutting machines like Cricut.

What can I make with it?

Bags (just add a lining), zipper pouches, clutches, in-the-hoop embroidery and the Witchy Hat.

I thought this vinyl was going to be more supple

I thought this vinyl was going to be more supple and soft. It was fine, but just not what I expected

It is like fabric, if you didn't get what you thought please email in case the wrong item was shipped. help@sewhungryhippie.com

Soft Black Vinyl is the best!

Sew Hungry Hippie’s soft vinyls, no matter the color, are very easy to sew! You can iron it from the backside and no special presser foot is required. The black soft vinyl is my favorite because it can be dressed up or dressed down. I have been using it in bags with some vintage fabrics and it looks amazing and don’t get me started about a Betty Bow Bag in black soft vinyl!

Love This Vinyl

I grabbed this once it came back into stock. Cannot get enough! I use it for so many projects and they all look beautiful with the soft vinyls especially when mixed or used as an accent with other fabrics. I do love it as a bag lining! If you have not tried soft vinyl inside the bag, try it. I am sure you will love it too. Soft vinyl sews up easily on a domestic machine and is a great buy through SHH!

Great Quality

I had a house full of grandkids when this was delivered. They loved it and put in their orders for pouches and bags. It reminds me of the same feeling I had when I got my first patent leather shoes. It just makes me smile. I have loved every piece of vinyl I have purchased and am looking forward to sewing this one too. The packaging was secure and quickly delivered. I love buying from SHH. It just makes me enjoy purchasing from them.
