Pinning a Jewelry Bag Closed

Video Transcript

OK, so, like I told you in the previous clip, now it's time to close this. And this is the opening that we have flipped the body through. Because of course we sewed the inside of it first. But now we need to close it, we don't want this hanging open. So, here's my anchor stitch and what I want to do, I'm just going to turn this under right at the stitch, and I'm going to pin it. Just go right along the stitch, because it's marked right there from it's one and quarter inch away from the casing, so we know where we're at. OK, there's this one and one more. We're going to go here and pin these also. Actually, it sounds hard, but it's way easier with a stitch. If you didn't have that stitch you'd probably be just really all over the place and kind of hard to sew. So, now that I have it like this, I'm just going to push the lining underneath. There you go. You just sit it underneath it and see when they meet right here at the edge. Replace the pin and catch both of them. And this is why you don't need to put the anchor stitch on the bottom one, because the top one determines where it's going to lay, and it just wants to lay with it. That's just the nature of this little bag to just do what you tell it to do. It's awesome. See, it's turning very very good. OK we'll go over here and do this. Especially since you have the casing on there already. There's only so much fabric that can be turned under from this side. You've got this one. I think I'll make one more pin right here, there we go. Do little adjustments if you feel like you need to, feel free to. And I think in the next clip I'm going to show you how to sew this entire edge of it closed. We'll give it a nice top stitch on the top side, just like this one has. So we'll do that in the next clip though.
