***Patterns will ship by October 4th***

The Marie Arena Bag is the next clear purse you want to bring to an entertainment or sporting event.  With clear bag policies here to stay, the 3 different sizes of this design will fit within most major venue guidelines.*  This pattern provides a different silhouette from the Emma Stadium Bag while the construction still allows you to customize your creations! 

This pattern was designed to be a quick project with an approach to working with clear vinyl where most of the sewing is over fabric. The bias binding doubles to hold hardware while the finish eliminates any rigid turning at the end.  It also adds color and so much style by outlining Marie’s various shapes.  The accent area allows you to add some personality with different fabrics and you can even add ribbon overlay and patches for extra fun. The Small and Medium views include removeable straps that adjust while the Large view has sew-in handles which outline the slip pockets.

In this pattern, you will learn how to work with clear vinyl and add bias binding with a short-cut method. You will also use a D-Ring design which allows for a more secure installation on clear vinyl.

*Always check local arena and stadium guidelines before attending your special events.

TIPS: Sewing with clear vinyl can be tricky. Below are some great tips from the testing team

  • Use a Teflon or Walking Foot if the vinyl sticks to your regular Presser Foot
  • Use regular all-purpose poly-thread
  • Try using a “non-stick” needle that will better glide through the vinyl
  • Add tissue paper or a piece of fabric under your project to prevent it sticking to your sewing machine table
