Make a Jeans Handbag: Pinning in Lining

Video Transcript

Now I'll show you how to install our lining into our recycled jean bag. First open the zipper like this. And we're going to put that lining right inside. Like that. Now we'll start at the side seams. And just kind of, we have two inches here. We're just going to place that side zipper on the side seam. And kind of hold it in place and then pin it on the outside. I am going to be sewing my lining. You want to first chose your line of where you are going to sew the lining in. I'm going to sew it right along the, underneath the edge of the waistband here. I'm going to sew right here. Because I don't want to sew up our little pocket on the outside. So my seam line is going to be right along the edge here. So you want to pin the side. Now I also have the zipper, the thickness of the zipper that I need to sew through. And the thickness of the side seam. So I've just moved the zipper part over a little, so I'm not, I don't have the zipper thickness and the side seam thickness to sew over all at once. Its just slightly moved over, so that I can sew over both of those thicknesses. So when you get this side in, now see you have about a two inch overhang there. Now we'll do the same on this side seam. And we'll pin that, find your sewing line right there in the center. And then pin that side in. All right, so now we have those. Now you just want to take your hand, and you're going to have, you want to have about a two inch space here from the zipper to the edge. To where you're sewing it. And just kind of put your fingers in there about two inches and then on, then hold that like that. And put a pin right on your sewing line. And move down and do the same thing. And just pin this lining in all the way around the same way.
