Threading the First Drawstring in a Jewelry Bag

Video Transcript

"Okay, and so now I'm ready to show you how to run this drawstring through this purse. What I want to do is start on one side and bring it all the way through where it comes out the other side. So, I'm just going to hold it, slip it through and just push it through with your fingers and you can kind of gather it as much as you want then let it go and pull it through. It's really, really easy to do. If you've ever lost the drawstring out of a hoodie or something like that, you're probably familiar with doing this, but if not, then now you know how to put your drawstring back in your hoodie. Just use a safety pin. It's a seamstress trick. When you get right here, you have to remember you have that piece of fabric in there for the lining, and what I like to do is, like see right now I can't get through because I caught the lining for the opening, so I'm going to put my finger in there and when I can feel the safety pin, then I'm going to push and I know that that's where it is. See where it comes out. Try to feel it with your pinky or if your big finger can fit in there try it, but usually mine can't. When you're doing this, don't let this part go all the way out because you'll have to start all over. Here I am at the other side and you just keep running it through. Just skip that hole and go back to where you first started. Okay, I'm almost there and then I'm going to show you how to run the second one through on the next clip because it's a little bit different than running this one through. Remember, use your finger. You can feel that piece. Oh, there it is. Okay, here's these 2 pieces. You can see it's starting to take it's shape now, and what I'm going to do is just take out the safety pin and make just a little knot with both of these. That's not the way I'm going to finish them, but I'm going to leave it like that for now because I don't want to be working on this one and this one come out, so I'm just going to make sure it's going to stay in there for now. So in the next clip I'm going to show you how to work with this ruffle and put this one on the other side, so we'll do that next."
