Cutting Fabric for Jewelry Bag Handles

Video Transcript

"Ok so now that we have the draw string cut out. Now I am going to go ahead and cut out the handle and it measures to sixteen inches long by an inch and a quarter wide. And so if I am going to fold it up the way I did the drawstring. I need to actually cut it at five inches and then it will fold up to one and a quarter inch. So let me get started on how to do that and when we did the drawstring we had it folded in half. But I only need sixteen inches for the handle so I don't need it folded in half. I am just going to work with one layer now. I am just going to measure sixteen inches from the bottom. There is twelve and add four. I thing I am going to add an extra inch just in case. I like to give myself extra fabric. Ok so now I need then five inches wide. So there is five here and then up. The fabric is trying to shift. Just kind of pull it straight. There we go. I can't really see my caulk marks. I am going to draw it in really good. Up here also. There we go. Now I am going to go ahead and cut this out and then I will show you how this one turns over and winds up being one and a quarter inch. There we go and this is how it's going to look and I am going to fold it over one and a quarter inch. This one over one and a quarter inch. And then we will do it like that and then we will top sew it. And it will be one and one quarter inch,"
