This is the bomb pun intended! Look at this little darling. As always vinyl from SHH is fantastic and most of all easy to sew on your regular machine.
I live that this is more like a shiny fabric than a vinyl. The Gunmetal is a great color. However, even with “Daylight” bulbs in my sewing area, it appears taupe in my sewing area; but more gray outside. I was trying to match/coordinate a lining fabric. What went perfectly inside was very bad outside, and vice versa. I opted for a general bright that would work with either taupe or gray.
I still love the color; just wanted others to be aware to check it in multiple light settings.
All of SHH soft vinyl is wonderful! I’ve used on several different style bags - very easy to handle and finishes beautifully.
Another fabulous product from SHH. Her soft vinyl is wonderful to work with and looks great in any project! Give it a try in any color, you won’t be sorry.
Perfect for quick sews. Glad it was on sale!
Love the color. First time using this vinyl and I'm looking forward to making a tote with this (like the recent monthly club project in blue)!
I bought the soft vinyl in Gunmetal to enhance a bag. This material is very easy to work with. Holds its shape nicely.
I love the vinyl fabric from SHH. It sews well and the outcome is just beautiful. I got the gunmetal vinyl while waiting for the bronze vinyl to come back in stock.
I love these soft vinyls, even though I'm not sure how to stabilize them for handbags. But I have to caution you on this product. It is so much darker than the photos. The photos look like a taupe or dark silver, but this vinyl is almost black. I would call it a charcoal. It didn't work with the project I bought it for, but it will happily find a place in a project with a darker side. 5 stars! Beautiful product.
I absolutely love the soft vinyls! Must admit that I was not inspired with the gunmetal on the site but after seeing one of Natalie's Sesh's where she used the gunmetal, I was sold. What a gorgeous color with the little undertones. It goes with everything and I really like the fact that it is not stark black or charcoal. I highly recommend this soft vinyl and especially in the gunmetal. It is so much more attractive than in the picture and I know you will be pleased.
Love the soft gunmetal vinyl. Just finished my purse today
This vinyl just makes me think DELICIOUS. I can't wait to use it in a bag. Or maybe I will just hoard it. lol. Thanks for having such wonderful items in your shop. Glad I became a VIP member.
This vinyl is gorgeous. Sooo soft 💕

I used this to make a wristlet & it’s so easy to sew.

I love this vinyl and ordered it many times in every color. You won’t be disappointed. Also quick to ship.
Love the feel of this vinyl. Will be making a bag using this fabric.
Perfect for my project, as pictured, will submit a photo soon
