Closing & Opening The Zipper Of A Coin Purse

Video Transcript

"So. the last step that we have on this coin purse is to go ahead and close this last seam. And this is the hole that we flipped the whole purse out of. And this is the last thing that you have to do. And what we want to do is pinch the zipper tape inside between the outside and the lining. And I'm going to go ahead and put some pins in it. Probably about three. One on each edge and one in the middle. And this doesn't happen on every coin purse but this coin purse happens to be light colored on the inside, dark colored on the outside and since I'm real picky about the things that I make. I'm going to go ahead and make sure that I have a light colored thread at the bottom. So I'm going to change my black bobbin to something lighter. It doesn't have to be exact and if you don't care you don't have to worry about that. But I like it to be perfect. I think this one matches pretty well. Yep, that matches so let me put this bobbin in. And we're just going to make that one little seam closed and we'll have a coin purse. So, what you want to do is find where you ended that tack when you top stitched and start right there on top of it. There we go. Just right next to the zipper. Back tack again. You should always back tack everything. And sew right up to the next tack. Everything should lay perfectly flat. Back tacked it again. And now we need to cut the threads off. See how much nicer it looks on the inside since you don't have the black thread. You have a thread that matches. It looks nice and professional. Okay. Then I think we have a coin purse. And as you can see, the lining fits it there nice and smooth. It's not all bulky and bunched up. And here you go. Here's the coin purse that we have made today."
