Video Transcript

"Next what were gonna do is do a little top sewing on the top of the coin purse so this is what was done before I done, made little opening, sewn the other side of the lining to the other side of the zipper. I'm just gonna wipe it out which means bring it all the right side out. This is what this looks like and what I want to do is make these top seams and on the top and instead of going all the way across the top of our opening I'm just gonna tack it just like I did on the inside. Let me do that right quick. So what you want to do is pull this apart you don't want to patch the lining in there and sew it all together, you want to open that up. Have the lining pulled out on one side and the fabric is a little away from the zipper so just move it over right to the edge. Right to the edge of where the zipper is. And run a nice clean top seam all the way across this. Back tack also you should always back tack all your seams. If you don't your just going to have to go back and reset the little area. We don't want to have to go back and do things. Thats one side I'm gonna go back and do the other side. And this side is the one with the hole. So when your sewing make sure you know which sides the hole cause you might have to take it out if you sew that one closed. And I'm just gonna move it over just like I did the other one. Make sure the linings out. Back Tack. Now I'm just gonna go. I'm gonna feel were I stop. Back tack, The threads. I'm gonna go to the other side I'm gonna be sewing on the other side and I think you can understand that. Now this is where my seam stops right there. Move my fabric over, one little top stitch right here. Since were done that now were going to be ready to put the zipper here. I think you can do that next."
