Have you ever sewn with oil cloth before?  I hadn’t and decided that it was time to use the fabric I had bought several years back.  I made a little carrying tote for my little grandson and I think it turned out really cute.  I was glad though that I had read some tips about sewing with oilcloth at a number of sites.  One of them was particularly helpful and you might want to check it out:

Overall, I found it a very pleasant experience.  It’s great that you don’t have to finish off the edges.  That came in particularly handy when making the handles.

Give it a try – I think you will like it.  I certainly did.
