This tutorial is for those of you who don't sew! Just because you don't have a sewing machine or you don't know how to use it doesn't mean you can't make cute fabric projects! Since my sewing machine was in the shop for some TLC, I thought it would be fun to create a no-sew tutorial using a few of my favorite products! I wanted to create a fun modern looking fabric for this project and I knew Heat Transfer Vinyl would be the perfect way to customize my fabric so I could get exactly the look I was going for.
I chose to use Craftables newly-released Heat Transfer Vinyl. Craftables was kind enough to send me an assortment of their Heat Transfer Vinyl for me to test out! I really enjoyed working with this product and I loved the wide variety of colors that they offer! I used my Cricut Easy Press with this vinyl to get perfect results!

How To Make A Fabric Pouch Without A Sewing Machine Tutorial
Begin by selecting your Heat Transfer Vinyl. I chose Black, White and Gray. Create a design in Cricut Design Space or use this one.
Load your Craftables Heat Transfer Vinyl into your cutting machine and cut out each design.
Weed the designs and place them on top of your fabric heating one layer at a time. Allow the fabric and Vinyl to cool completely in between each layer and remove the protective sheet.
This Heat Transfer Vinyl works perfectly with a heat press or a regular iron.
Cut the fabric down to 13 inches wide by 11 inches tall.
On the wrong side of the fabric draw a straight line of Thermoweb Fabric Fuse along the top of both pieces of fabric. Fold the fabric over 1 inch.
Press firmly and allow to dry
Draw a line of glue on the three remaining sides of the fabric.
Place the other piece of fabric on top and slowly unroll it to perfectly align it. Place a heavy book over the bag and allow to dry overnight.
Cut a piece of velcro that is the 12 inches long. Follow the instructions on the back of the packaging to properly adhere the velcro to the bag.

Could you tell me if you put the glue on the right side of the fabric or back side? If the front, do you turn it inside out after drying? Your instructions look like you put the vinyl on the inside.
