Making a waterproof all-purpose bag with Odif Odicoat Gel Coating by Jean Boyd June 28, 2023 written by Jean Boyd June 28, 2023 280 Yesterday I showed you how to make a quick snack bag using HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl. Snack bag using HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl Today we’ll make another little bag, this time using Odif Odicoat Gel Coating. This product is a waterproof gel that protects fabrics by creating an oilcloth-like finish. Odicoat is applied to the fabric using a soft bristle or foam brush or the plastic card that comes with the product. Complete instructions are printed on the label. Finished projects may be washed by hand or machine. This bag can be used for snacks, toys, pencils, or any similar articles. Itʼs also easy to modify the size to suit your needs. All-purpose bag covered with Odif Odicoat Gel Coating Let’s get started Cut 1 piece of fabric 8½” x 17½”. Apply Odif Odicoat Gel Coating to one side of the fabric. Let dry for about ½ hour or until it’s no longer sticky. Turn the fabric over and apply Odicoat to that side. Let the Gel Coating dry for 12 hours before using the fabric for the bag. Apply Odif Odicoat Gel Coating to fabric. Trim the fabric so it measures 8″ x 17″. Fold the fabric in half, right sides together. Clip sides together with UNIQUE Quilting Clever Clips. Sew the 2 side seams. Use a walking, even feed or Teflon foot on your machine. Stitch a ¼” seam. Use a 2.5mm stitch length. Backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam. Sew a double row of stitching around the top edge. A double row of stitching around the top edge Fold the bottom corners as shown in the picture. Stitch across each corner, about 1″ from the point. This will give the bag a nice, square bottom. Stitch across the bottom corners. Applying the snaps Use the UNIQUE Sewing Plastic Snap Fastener Tool to apply snaps on the flap and the main part of the bag. Directions for using this tool are printed on the package.
