(hint when adding the lower one, slide a piece of cardboard in the pocket to protect the underside as you hammer or even better, add it before you sew the side seams up) or use adhesive velcro dots instead.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57476\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps.jpg\" alt=\"Storybook Coin Purse - DIY PVC purse - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"595\" height=\"595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps.jpg 595w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps-330x330.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/pursesteps-460x460.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57474\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purse2.jpg\" alt=\"Storybook Coin Purse - DIY PVC purse - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"595\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purse2.jpg 595w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purse2-300x255.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purse2-330x280.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purse2-542x460.jpg 542w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Some hints on sewing with PVC<\/strong> &#8211; A walking foot or teflon foot helps. Sew slowly, you may need to turn the flywheel by hand to start and finish. If you have any extra hints, feel free to leave them in the comments.<\/p>\n<h3>Reader tips for sewing PVC plastic:<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;If you find your sewing machine foot sticks to the vinyl, put a single drop of 3-in-one (or other machine oil) on your finger. Rub the oily finger on the bottom of the foot. The oil is easily wiped off both the foot and the vinyl later, and unlike tape, leaves no sticky residue. You could also use vegetable oil if you have no machine oil handy.&#8221; &#8211; Joan<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Scotch tape! If you don\u2019t have a Teflon foot for your machine use matte scotch tape on the metal base plate on either side of the feed dogs, and then again along the bottom of the presser foot. Works great.&#8221; &#8211; Carey<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I found that putting paper, tracing paper, on top of the vinyl makes it easier to sew.&#8221; &#8211; Raven<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-57475\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purseduo.jpg\" alt=\"Storybook Coin Purse - DIY PVC purse - mypoppet.com.au\" width=\"595\" height=\"888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purseduo.jpg 595w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purseduo-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purseduo-330x493.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/purseduo-308x460.jpg 308w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All done!
