Okay, we now have them aligned, and so we sew it together. There we go.
It's a little tricky. It has to be done a little at a time,
because it's...we're pretty much doing a sort of a half-circle here.
Oh, broke the thread. Okay, so far so good. Just have to re-thread it.
And start again. Okay. It's coming along. And for extra stability,
I just simply turn it around and sew right over it again,
so that there's sort of a double seam here, for extra strength.
Cause this is the...this is the main part of the bag.
Okay, and as I said, it sort of comes out to be sort of a half-circle here, really.
We do that. And I'm going to take a look at the seam, and just make sure that everything
is working out. And it seems fine. That's great. Okay.
Once the seam is checked, and it looks good at this point, what you simply do is just
take it and pull. And once I pull it, I double check it to see
that I haven't put in a half twist and I have not.
It's one that goes here, and it goes here, and then the lining goes here and it goes
here. So it is fine. The only thing that needs to
be done now is you can see there's a little, little opening here and that opening is necessary
because I had to um, because I had to sew the two ends together.
And what I do here is that I just hand sew this shut.
And I'm not going to show that on the video, I'm just going to hand sew it shut.
And once it's sewn shut, then it is a shoulder bag, and it looks like this,
and you can wear it like this, or you can wear it like this.
This is a 16-inch wide bag, but I also make ones with extra-long straps,
so that this part is even longer, for people who want it to go...who want the straps.
But this is a 16-inch wide bag, and I generally wear the bags this way.
And then it...there's one pocket, there's two pockets, here's the inside.
And sometimes I make these with zippers, so that this will zip shut,
but this is not with the zipper. I didn't make this particular one with a zipper.
But I also make them with zippers, too, and so that's it, and that's how the process goes.
And thanks very much for your attention, and I hope that you enjoyed watching me make the
bags.
