Cutting Fabric for a Jewelry Bag

Video Transcript

"Okay, so now we're ready to cut out the body and the lining and I've decided what I'm going to do. I'm just going to go ahead and, I've made one template and it needs to be cut out, so I'm just going to lay this underneath it and I'm going to cut them out both at the same time. Before I do that, I'm going to go ahead and trim off this excess fabric. So I'll just have my circle showing and a square. And see these scissors are so nice and sharp. You'll be glad you have sharp scissors if you work with this kind of fabric. Okay, so I want to move this over. It doesn't matter if I lay it face down or if I lay it shiny side up. It doesn't matter because it's all a circle. I'm just going to lay this down. And this fabric is real slinky so I'm just going to kind of smooth it out and make sure that I have my circle in place. Here we go. Make sure I have all the fabric underneath and so what I'm going to do, since my chalk mark goes right to the edge, right over here, I'm just going to cut it right on the chalk line. And if you feel more comfortable pinning it, you feel free to do that. I'm just going to go real slow. See, if you're scissors are dull, it would be such a nightmare trying to cut this kind of fabric out. But this kind of bag, this little jewelry bag, you really need real thin, slinky fabric like that. It just sits so much better. Okay. Okay, so I'm almost done cutting this out and after that, I think we'll work on cutting out those little tabs that we need for the drawstring and the drawstring lining. Okay, so there is the body and the lining together. That's just going to look really pretty together I think."
