"Okay, so we have both of these sides of the purse sewn, they're both 6 inches at the top and the bottom. We've trimmed the edges off the side so that they lay nicely together at the bottom. So what we're going to do now is reverse one side of the purse and we always want to choose the one that's a little bit thicker than the lighter weight. Just because it works better. I've learned that throughout the years. So what I'm going to do is get this one and then I'm going to flip it out to the right side. I'm going to get my thumb and put it way in there in the corner, put my finger against it, kind of pinch it and pop it on through. It's a lot easier than struggling with it to make that little corner come out. Just use your fingers to push it out. Now we have this whole, the purse done. Now that we flipped it we want to go ahead and slip this inside. You put your hand in there like it's a little mitt, kind of pinch it if you want. Just slip it in. Yeah, and it fits perfectly of course because we made it 6 inches exactly at the bottom on both pieces. So there we go. What we're going to do next is go ahead and sew that little button catch on up here, then put the strap on, then close it, then put the button down and we have a purse. So it's really simple."
