See more » Each row has like a positive and negative. You will be fitting the positive into the negative so that rows fit together (see photos) You can use a large eyes needle with a blunt tip, if you use the ones like I first tried in the picture, you poke thru the wrappers instead of going thru them. I made myself a needle out of a credit card and melted a hole in one end for the thread. The size of the piece of credit card was cut 2 3/8 X 1/2. That seemed to work the best but you will need a needle to attach the zipper. I’ve tried several different kind of thread……..I don’t know that there is a wrong or right thread……..as long as it is very strong. The thread that I was using in the photos was a denim jean thread. It’s very strong and won’t break but it was so thin that it actually was like a knife and cut my wrapper. DMC floss worked fine, I found a doily crochet thread that worked. I checked into the fishing line that everyone talks about, it was catfish nylon and would not break but I can’t find any thin enough. It’s all just to thick. I’ve read lots of info of speculation on how these purses are put together……………..they are all sewn and NOT woven or folded together. To begin sewing rows together….bring needle up thru any chain and back down the other side and tie a strong knot. (next 3 photos) You will weave your loose thread ends into the purse later. The beginning is the only time that you will tie your thread onto the purse. As you run out of thread, tie on with a square knot and continue sewing Put two chains together as I described with the positive and negative. You will be sewing down thru a chain, over slightly to the right and down thru the next chain, up thru the next chain and down thru the next one. Follow the pictures………You will continue to do this until you get all the way around. You will then take your thread over a “V” and do the inside or other side. You will be sewing both sides of the purse. It will get very stiff as you will be pulling the thread tight to pull all the chains together. Continue sewing up and down chains until you go all the way around. Make sure you pull the thread tight so you do not have any gaps or see the thread. Once you go all the way around, you need to run your thread over the "V" to sew the other side of the purse. You will be sewing both sides. add the next row.......positive to negative See less »
