Who says 3's a crowd?

I made 3 of them because I go to a lot of anime conventions and I know these will come in handy for travel! I love music, and I had this fabric lying around, so I used it!

I'll be honest, though, instead of keeping the teflon foot on when I sewed the zipper in, I actually used my zipper foot. As you can see, I was able to get a much closer and tight fitting stitch. I liked that a lot better. Something that I noted in the videos was that there wasn't a lot of talk of seam allowance so my first bag was a little jank because I used a 1/4" seam allowance on one side instead of 1/8", as I very quickly figured out is what I should have been using.

I also found it a little difficult, as the instructor said, to turn the bags right side out. I honestly would've used probably a 12 gauge vinyl instead of 16. It would've still held its shape without being such a pain to work with.

I had a lot of fun making these though! I know for an absolute fact that these will see a lot of use! It's the first time I've ever sewn with vinyl, and, due to my cosplay passion, I know it won't be the last. I've leaned a lot! Thank you very much!
