Sewing the Edges of the Top of a Zipper Backpack

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Karen for Expert Village. Now I'm going to continue our sewing. I'm going to change the needle position to the middle and you want to sew this two sides of the trapezoid with half inch seam allowance. Leave the bottom of the trapezoid open. Back up to the end to knot that, you back up at the beginning and you back up at the end to knot it. We would do the other side. Now we want to turn the top part out, I'm just trimming some of these extra threads. To turn it you just turn it to the inside out like this and you can poke your finger to get those corners turned out. You will see that you have your zipper comes from the top of this trapezoid like this. Next we are going to quilt this section. First you want to push the seams out as far as they will go. So you can just moisten your fingers and kind of roll the seam out to the end and put a pin to hold that. You are just going to hold it back and forth until it is all the way out to the edge of the seam and put a pin to hold it. Do it on both sides."
