Our Soft Vinyl Fabric collection brings together flexible, shimmery vinyl that’s as beautiful as it is practical.

Whether you’re after a subtle sheen or a bold metallic statement, this collection has the finish to elevate your next bag making project.

Why makers love Soft Vinyl Fabric for bag making

Soft Vinyl Fabric gives your handmade bags and accessories a high-end, editorial look without the stiffness that can make sewing frustrating. The flexible body turns corners easily, handles curves smoothly, and pairs beautifully with zippers, hardware, and cotton or cork accents. It’s the perfect choice for tote bags, crossbody bags, clutches, zipper pouches, and wristlets where you want that eye-catching metallic shimmer.

Domestic machine friendly — no industrial machine needed

All Soft Vinyl Fabric at Sew HungryHippie is tested and approved for domestic sewing machines. A brushed woven backing means it feeds smoothly without sticking or slipping, so it sews just like fabric.

• Use a Microtex 80/12 needle
• Sews easily with a regular sewing foot, walking foot, or Teflon foot
• No pins needed — use clips instead
• Iron from the wrong side, or on the front with a Teflon pressing sheet — always test first

The smooth metallic surface highlights topstitching beautifully, giving even simple patterns a polished, professional result.

Easy care, lasting shimmer

Soft Vinyl Fabric can be machine washed and dried on cool settings, so the bags and accessories you make are easy to care for and last for years. Browse the collection, pick your colors, and bring some metallic magic to your next make.
