Assembling:
- Sew the zipper onto one side of the purse edges. If the zipper is too long, you may need to adjust it by cutting it.
- Facing the wrong sides together: SC together around the edges to join the front and back pieces.
- Finishing touch: Work on a finishing round of SC in the next SC, Picot in the next, and SC in the next, and repeat this sequence around the purse.
Additional Note: Sewing the zipper can be challenging; consider using a sewing machine for sturdier results.
