Tips for Sewing Drawstring Casing for Jewelry Bags

Video Transcript

"Ok in the previous clip we sewed the first part of the casing, and now we're going to sew the lower stitch of the casing, and so now you start on the bottom part of the drawstring opening. If yours is pulling a little bit like this, don't even worry about it, because you won't even be able to tell. That's one of those flaws that's hidden away when you get this bag finished. Back stitch it a little bit. Do the same thing. Just follow your marks that you made. Just hold it if you want like this. We're just making a one inch opening all the way around, so that drawstring will fit in there. There we go. Make sure my stitch is looking good. Yea it looks good. I like to always stop and evaluate a little bit and make sure everything is doing what it's supposed to do. We're almost over here, and once we get there we want to do a back stitch. There we go. If it jumps over and you catch it a little bit, don't even worry about it. You want even see it when you get finished. Back stitch it a little bit right there, and there we go. We got that casing made, and the next step that I want to show you how to do is how to close this, and we'll do that next."
