Sewing Drawstring Casing for a Jewelry Bag

Video Transcript

"So, now that we have it all pressed out, we have our one inch casing marked on here, and this is where our drawstring is going to go through. Like I said, what we're going to do we're going to go ahead and do the top sewing on this. What I've decided to do is go back to the purple that I used around the drawstring opening and then on the bottom I have the black to match the black. And anytime you do top sewing, you just want to make sure that your stitch looks good so I'm going to sew a little bit and stop and look underneath it. If you remember, from here to here is 1-1/4 so, there's my mark. And if it's kind of hard for you to see your mark, just take your time and look for it. Let me flip it over and see what that looks like; oh look, I can't see the purple coming through; that's what I like. And you can just hold it like this. And what you want to do is just keep going all the way around to the other side. Here we are at the other side. And remember we just want to go right across the top. Remember, if your fabric is real slinky, just hold it. You can hold it and make it do what you want it to do. We're almost there. This is where I started so when I get here I want to make sure I backstitch pretty well. There we go. That's one side of it. So in the next clip I'm going to show you how to do the other side."
