With patent leather such a rage right now, crafty do-it-yourselfers reach for the spectacular vinyl lookalikes for sewing projects. This shiny lipstick red bag from Quick Stuff to Sew, Vol. 1 is just like a flashy convertible car ready to blaze paths to new adventures. But before you plunge into this joyride, we’ll show you how to make sewing vinyl easy.

Before you stitch, just read our guidelines.
