Cutting The Lining Fabric Of A Coin Purse

Video Transcript

"I have the body of the purse cut out now. What I need to do next is go ahead and cut out the lining. This fabric, I really like it. It's just an old shower curtain I found at a resale shop, but it's really pretty and shiny. I think it matches this really well. I'm just going to look at it and see if there's a pattern. I see a pattern here. It's the same on both sides. I want to catch that right in the middle of my coin purse, because it'll look really pretty when I open it up. I'm just going to lay it right here on top. Just kind of lay it right in between where the pattern is. I'm going to go ahead and cut. The lining is actually going to turn out to be just about a half an inch smaller lengthwise as the body of the coin purse. The reason why is it's such a small coin purse, we don't want the lining to be bunched up on the inside of your purse. We want to lay it nice and tight in there. I'm just going to move it just about half an inch over. See right there. On the other side too. Then I'm just going to cut right over here. There you go. Now we have the 2 pieces that we need for the coin purse, the body of the purse and the lining. What we need to do next is start with sewing the zipper on the body. Let's get started doing that."
