Coin Purse Tutorial


Cut 2 outer pieces and 2 lining pieces. Mark notches.



Puffy: Fold pleat along fold line matching dotted lines. Stitch 1/2" inwards along dotted line. Fold the two pleats inwards and baste close to edge. Repeat for other side of purse and for both lining pieces.


Sew the lining pieces, RS together, with a 1/4" seam allowance along bottom curve, leaving the top open. Repeat for outer pieces.




Clip the curves so that the piece turns nicely.




Turn the outer piece RS out and finger-press the seam to let the piece find its shape.




Insert lining into the outer purse, WS togeter, and with a small zig-zag, stitch along raw top edge attaching the outer piece to the lining.



How cute is that?!? Now make a few more, or wait until we meet on October 14 to add the frame to your purse!
