Sewing The Sides Of A Coin Purse

Video Transcript

"So now that we have the sides pinned. I have everything measured to five and a half inches on both sides so I know it's even. I like to start sewing on the side that's closed. This ones open so I'm going to sew on this one. Because this one is more stable than this one. And if I have to I can adjust this one to this one. So, I'm just going to take the little pin out and half an inch in I'm going to start sewing. And I'm going to back tack everywhere I can. At the top and when I start running over this nylon zipper, I'm going to back tack really well. Because we don't want that coming apart. I'm just going to run it right now the side. There we go. And then I'm going to go to the other side. And I think what I'm going to do first is make sure that it's five and a half inches again. Sometimes your fabric moves around. Yes, it's still five and a half. I just like to make sure because I've had fabric move on me and it come out different sizes. So I'm going to start at the bottom this time. Because I like to sew on the top side of the fabric as opposed to the lining side of the fabric. So I'm going to go half an inch in. About right here. You can measure that if you want. I know. I can eye it at this point. I know what size it is. And I'm just going to go at this side and when I get over to this zipper it's open so you want to make sure the zipper teeth are matching each other. And I'm going to go over this a lot also. Just want to make sure that those are together. And right up to the top. And back stitch again. And I'm just going to go over this zipper one more time. There we go. Okay, that's the sides and now the next thing that we're going to start working on is, we're going to make the curve. So in the next clip that's what we're going to be doing."
