"Before we get started sewing this lining to the body of the purse, I wanted to do a little overview of how we're going to sew the lining in. Not every piece of fabric is going to be plain print like mine. Sometimes you might have a print that has a pretty flower in the front or it has something that you want to catch maybe right here in the front of your coin purse. This coin purse, the way it's made is there's a seam right here that attached to lining to the body of the purse. Flip it all out through that hole. This hole has to be at the top because there's a seam here at the bottom, and you cannot flip it out through this way. If you happen to choose a piece of fabric that has print on it and you want it right here, we cannot have the opening next to that. This one doesn’t really matter. I'm just going to go ahead and put the opening here. You just need to know if you want that print to show. Whatever you want to show in the front, you put he opening at the opposite end of that. Let's go ahead and get started sewing that lining on, and then I'll show you how to flip it out and finish this coin purse."
