I tried it and I liked it. made these zipper bags with no problems. it cuts easily, sews and embroiders just fine, I'll make more projects with it, maybe something bigger next time but I have only good things to say about it.

I saw this stuff advertised in a Joann flyer and wondered how it was....did you have to use xtra stabilizer? These are really neat, Bev....

no, just 1 sheet on the hoop, it sews just like a fabric

Those are so pretty I had to find out about your OLY Fun - What I found makes it perfect for lots of bags of all sizes. I will have to try
the Stores for it.
'JoAnn's Online' caries it in 10 yards and 60" wide. The 12 x 12 " squares are also there for crafting. They say it is weather resistant and can be used indoors or out. Both sides can be used, there is no white core or back side. Oly*Fun is a non woven material made with 100% polypropylene. Can be washed on gentle cycle and air dry. An iron may be used, but do so carefully on a cool or low setting with a pressing cloth. Interesting stuff. And beautiful stitched up.

you also buy these 20 inch x 3 yd pks, it's cheaper than fabric

I Love purple. I love Butterflies. I love what you have done.
P.S. I am still afraid of zippers

How lovely. Love that butterfly. You have done a really great job on these.

Love doing bags with the zipper in the Embroidery...Quite easy and so neat..Well done

WOW! Got to try zippers ith embroidery!!!

Nice job...but, if it is the same stuff that grocery bags are made from, it will disintegrate after about a year or so...and heat and sun will accelerate the process...hopefully, it is different...

I don't know if it's the same but it is like it, if these little bags last a year that's fine. It's just something I wanted to try and I'm happy with it

Fantastic embroidery and quilting. You have done a great job!/Lillian

Lovely! looks like a handy size for change purse.

These look great. I thought the fabric would embroider well!

Love the little purse and the designs. It's one I don't have from the Purple Hat. Too bad they aren't around any more.

They look fabulous. Love the stippling work on the lilac purse. Well done, love Chris

Oh Bev the Oly stuff looks much better then I thought it would! Well done. I love your little purses! Pretty colors too ~hugs~
