"Ok, now we are ready to close up the wallet, we just attached the lace. I'm going to cut off extra lace but I do leave enough in, that I can tuck it in and it doesn't fray on the edges. So what you do is just tuck it up and then you want to tuck this up and make sure that your Velcro is going to hit where it needs to, you may need to adjust it some. Make sure your edges come all the way up to the side or you will lose your goods. Once we're sure, go ahead and throw in a pin, to hold it in place, I usually just put one pin right in the middle and then I'm going to sew on the edges. I'm going to sew these two pieces together, with my lace tucked in. You always want to make sure that you reinforce the top because that is going to be the part that gets the most pressure, when you're opening it, besides the material around the Velcro. So we're going to sew it all the way down and then you do the same thing on the other side. You can start at the top or the bottom, it doesn't really matter as long as you make sure it's still pulled right. Now it's closed. Go ahead and take your pin out and that's that."
