ohh iron on vinyl, what is that then? I have never heard of it, doesn't it melt?

Yes, please more on the iron on vinyl. I asked about it at JoAnn's once and was given a blank stare.

I love the little bag. The fabric is so cute and the ribbon is a sweet touch.

VERY cute toiletry bag. I definitely have the Bend the Rules book on my wish list. In fact, I may just order it from Amazon as soon as I post this. Where did you get the adorable owl fabric?

Jo and Beth - The iron-on vinyl has been fun to work with. I purchased mine at www.reprodepot.com, but it looks like it is out of stock. The product is called Therm-o-web Iron-on Vinyl. It works great for toiletry bags and making wipe-off placemats and such.

Laura - the fabric is from Robert Kaufman's Hot Couturier collection. I found mine a while back at www.jcarolinecreative.com.

Hello---I just found you via a link on Soulemama's site. What a wonderful blog you have! Your patterns look so enticing...too bad my children are past that age!

Your toiletry bag is so cute. I have been eyeing that bag in Bend-the-Rules and now I'm putting it on my must-sew list!
