Thanks citruscounyquilter. That was an excellent video! I loved her accent too.

Here's one issue. Her bag was just fabric, no batting. What I made was a purse for myself and I like a really structured purse, one that stands on it's own like a little soldier. So I use felt as my batting. I wonder if I will be able to successfully turn the bag inside out with a stiff batting like that?? Otherwise, her method made perfect sense and seemed very easy to make.

Edited to add - Sorry! I replied before she was totally done. The last bit she did was sew a seam at the very top. That's the part that gave me such trouble. It seemed pretty easy for her. Maybe because her zipper was a bit lower in the bag then mine was, because she attached the zipper down in the lining, not the top of the bag. I'll study the video more. It's possible I can adapt just that part of her method to my bag and not even worry about turning it inside out. Maybe if I just have the zipper a little lower in the bag....(thinking aloud here)
