Let Me Show You How to Make a Zipper
Cut All Pieces Use Acrylic Pattern.
We Glue 2 Pieces of Lock Together by Contain a Piece of Magnetic Button.
Now We Make Zipper Pouch, Sew One Side Cloth on Main Body Leather, Here I Fold More Cloth on Tips Toward Inner.
Do the Same on the Other Side.
Paint Glue As Picture Shows, This Operation Is Very Important, That Will Form a Pouch Later.
Sew This Stitching Line, the Surface and Lining Leather Will Be Sewn Together.
Sew Pre Sewn Lock On, But Only Sew Lock With Surface Leather.
Sew Square Leather on Right Place, Look at the Picture, There Are Orienting Lines on Pattern to Help You Find the Right Place. Notice, I Fold the Edge to Have a Nice Looking.
We Will Use Bending Glue Skill to Glue Lining and Surface Completely. Paint Glue As Picture Show, and Don't Forget Magnetic Button On.
Glue Edges.
Bend and Glue Firmly.
After Bending Glue, You Will See the Clutch Has a Nature Bending, Because Lining Is Shorter Than Surface.
Punch Stitching Holes Use Chisel.
Punch Stitching Holes on a Wood Stick Will Make This Work Easier. (WHAT a MUSCLE MAN@@)
Sew 2 Pieces of Gusset on to Finish This Clutch, Here I Fold the Gusset Edge to Get a Nice Looking.
