Sewing The Lining in A Coin Purse

Video Transcript

"Now that we've got that explation out of the way...of the lining, and how to leave the opening, I'm going to show you how to sew the lining on. And what we're going to do is put the right sides of the fabric together. This is the right side; the side that you want to see on the outside of the coin purse, and this is of course, the wrong side, and that's the wrong side also. So lets put right sides together, and that just means laying them across eachother like this. And if you'll remember, I made it a little bit short...a little half an inch short and I'll show you how to fix that. And I think I had told you that I was gonna leave the opening here, so lets go ahead and sew this one first. And all I'm going to do is run this seam along the side of the zipper just on top of the seam I already made to sew the zipper to the body. So let's attach one side of the lining. And it doesn't matter if you're thread doesn't match because it's going to be on the inside and no one will ever see it. Make sure that you back tack, top and bottom so that it won't come apart. I like to keep my threads trimmed while I'm sewing so I don't have to deal with them later. Okay, so now we're going to make the opening side of the coin purse... the hole that we're going to flip it through. And since it's a little bit short, what I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna pull it through to where it does match the end. See...and it's a little bit tight there...and that's only becuase we want the lining to fit real smooth inside that little coin purse. So, to create the opening, I'm going to need about this much room to flip it through. So I'm going to run a seam from here to here, and tack it real good, and then from here to here. So I'm going to do that right quick. Back tack real nice there...and another one right here....let me cut these threads. And since we've done that, I'm going to flip it out and do a little top sewing around the top to the zipper before we actually get started finishing this up, so lets do that real quick. "
