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.

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 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
Perfect shine!
It’s shiny with texture. Looks beautiful on the wristlets I’m making.
The black cats are adorable. The black vinyl goes sò perfectly I'll send a picture when I'm done. Oh so happy with these pieces.
Great Quality easy to sew with just order two more yards of this black vinyl!.
Thank you for the fast shipping! Looking forward to making a machine embroidered bag for a Christmas gift!

Working on an easy wristlet using black soft vinyl. Sews like a dream!
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!
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!
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.

The Soft Vinyl in Black is very pretty! I have so many other colors of Natalie's Soft Vinyl and I love them!! I have waiting awhile to try the black. It is a great addition to my supplies for bag making! These soft vinyls are great to work with, and easy to sew like fabric. Thank you, Natalie, for great selection, prices, service, and fast shipping.
Looks wonderful I like sewing with soft vinyl from Sew Hungry Hippie and look forward to using the black
I’ve always been afraid of vinyl, but this vinyl is absolutely beautiful, soft, pliable, and so easily sewable! I’m a convert. I’m going to buy many more pieces of vinyl.
This soft vinyl is SO PRETTY! I can not wait until I can make the zipper pouches!!
This soft vinyl is so easy to work with! I’ve used different stabilizer/interfacings and they all work great depending on how firm I want the vinyl for the bag. Arrived very well packaged and such quick service!!!
I love the fabric!
Beautiful and easy to work with.
I loved sewing with this vinyl! I quilted it and made the Santorini Tote as shown by Natalie. It turned out great and I am very happy with it!
I absolutely LOVE it!!! Thank you
This is the first time I’ve ever sewn with vinyl. It was easy to work with
This was exactly as described. I made a wristlet and get tons of compliments. I have yet to buy anything from SewHungryHippie that was not better than expected. Quick shipping, too.
Dreamy to look at, lovely to sew!
LOVE the vinyl! Its perfect for what I needed. Also shipping is always super fast! Thank you!
This is the perfect vinyl for bags because of its texture & flexibility. Would love to see more colors & prints!
I love this vinyl - the color is great and it's thin enough to work perfectly with my domestic machine.
