Between making purses out of ties and knitting handbags, I've been experimenting to find the right glue for a collection that I've been trying bring to life. I am looking for an adhesive that is thin yet durable AND I need to glue the rough side of Velcro to a vinyl sheet, THEN be able to cut numbers from it. It's a process, I know... I've been doing this for almost three years. I'm almost there, I can feel it!
Currently, glues that bonds the two mediums together are too thick and creates lumps. The thinner and spreadable glues don'tt seem to bond the two mediums together. I'll keep experimenting with glue and possibly find a different fabric than vinyl but so far that fabric seems the best out of the non-fraying fabrics I have tried.
If it's not one thing, it's another. The search continues to create my Sew-Do-Ku collection. Feel free to send any suggestions my way for adhesives or fabric that might work!

Sew-Do-Ku collection, new name but same idea!
New updates on my experimentation on creating my precious Sudoku bag, now renamed as the Sew-Do-Ku collection. This weekend I'll be playing with four inch wide Velcro (hook side) that I found at Seattle Fabrics. With my previous trials, I hope to adhere the Velcro to a sturdy and non-fraying black fabric that can be used to cut numbers and be made into a bag. Pictures will be posted of this crafty weekend and, hopefully soon, the first Sew-Do-Ku bag shall come to life!
