I tried to make this tutorial as beginner-friendly as possible with lots of pictures.

It also uses fusible vinyl. It sounds a little scary, but it's not! This was my first time using it too and it was so easy. The vinyl inside the bag help keep leaks from seeping out and ruining the rest of your luggage, and makes it easy to wipe clean. It also allowed me to use a white fabric for the inside (can you imagine how dirty white fabric inside a toiletry bag would get?), which makes it a lot easier to see what's inside the bag.\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe finished dimensions are about 8\" long x 5\" wide x 5\" tall.
