Cutting Main Pieces for Handmade Purses

Video Transcript

"Hi. I?m Melina Piroso and welcome to Expert Village. Today, I?m going to show you how to make a cute little bag out of regular, everyday fabrics. For this next step, we're going to cut out the two pinned bag pieces. And you're going to cut along your seam allowance line and you can see that even though I've pinnned it very well, it still comes out a little shaky. So again it's very important to pin as much as possible. Cut along the edges. And we're not going to cut the bottom. Now, again, if you we're sewing on a different fabric, you probably would have a bottom to cut, but because I?m using this fabric that has this pattern at the very bottom, I?m not going to cut because I already have a half an inch right here. So, it's fine."
