Clear vinyl is used to create clear pockets in several Sac\u00f4tin patterns : the Fringante<\/a> toiletry bag , the Pavane<\/a> hanging kit bag and the Comp\u00e8re<\/a> wallet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my tips for choosing, cutting, sewing clear vinyl and removing its creases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which clear vinyl thickness ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is an important choice<\/strong>, clear vinyl that is too thin will look bad with creases that you won’t be able to smooth out, clear vinyl that is too thick will make the sewing project impossible to handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Sac\u00f4tin patterns like the Fringante<\/a> toiletry bag , the Pavane<\/a> hanging kit bag and the Comp\u00e8re<\/a> wallet, I recommend 0.2 mm (20\/100 – 8 gauge)<\/strong> thick clear vinyl.
It’s a thickness which has hold while remaining flexible enough to be handled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transparent plastic sleeves for binders won’t do the job<\/strong>, they are far too thin and creases won’t smooth out easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
