Hello Cuties! I found this pattern and thought I'd give it a try. Well, I made two and plan to make more. They sew up very quickly, something I needed.They can be used for various things. I think this would be a good bus gift, don't you?

Notes-*I used a really thick, clear vinyl on the orange and it WAS harder to turn right side out, but as you can see, I got it. Not easy on my hands or wrist, so I would recommend a med gauge, if you go buy some. I can't tell you the number gauge, because I'm using what I have bought before and its not marked. I know it wasn't the thinnest, nor was it the thick kind, like on the orange case.
* Also, I find it helps if you mark around the curve end, as that's where your opening will be. Stay stitch along the mark, where the opening is on both, the outer and lining piece, before you put it together. It helps it not stretch out of shape so much, when you have to put all that through turning right side out.
* CAUTION:Also, when you get it turned and give it a press DON'T do like me. I didn't notice my snap and set the iron on top before I knew it! I hurried up and took it off, but it had started to melt the snap! Did it on one of the green and this orange too!!! (the snap close to where my name is) Thank goodness it still snaps and unsnaps or the whole thing could have been ruined....I have a blue one cut out so I hope I don't do it again.
* Another thing I do differently. I don't cut my vinyl like they say. Instead, I cut one big piece 8 x12. I place my zipper in the center of the 12 inch, securing it with clips at outer edges.(see photo below) I then sew it along both edges of the tape lengths. Then I carefully cut the vinyl in two underneath the zipper. Once you get it slit, you can fold back the fabric away from the cut edge and trim if you need to make it a little straighter. Just don't cut to close and cut your zipper stitches!!! and if you do forget to slit, it's ok. A little harder once it's together but do-able...ask me how I know...
