How to Pin Closed a Homemade Purse

Video Transcript

"Okay, one of the final steps of this little handbag is to go ahead and pin the lip of the purse closed. What you want to do is stick your hand in there and make sure that purse is in there flush and if you'll take a look right here, one side of the seam is laying this way and the green side is pointing that way and that's a good idea. So when you feel it, you know it's even, it's evened out. So I want to go ahead and turn this in and I'll turn this one in this way. I'll give it like just a pin to anchor, to anchor these two together about right there. I'm going to put one here. You can't ever use too many pins. There you go and then we want to do this side the same way. The seam is pointing that way, the green seam will point that way. Just turn it in a little bit. Turn this one in. If you'll notice as I do this you could of sewn this strap to the green side. It really doesn't matter because it is sandwiched in between, it just needs to be sewn to one. You know if you sew them to both of course, we wouldn't be able to flip it out because they'll be sewn together. But you just sew it to one side, then it looks like it is sewn to both. Let me throw on a couple more pins on this. And then all we're going to have to do to this is sew it close and put those buttons on and you'll have a little handbag. I think one more will do, it's so small. There we go. So all we need to do now is just sew this closed and put those buttons on and then we're done."
