This coin purse can be made by hand or with a sewing machine. It's suitable for beginners and takes less than an hour to complete.
Supplies:
- 2 pieces of fabric, 18 x 19 cm (one for the lining and one for the exterior)
- 1 piece of non-woven fabric, 19 x 20 cm (optional, if your fabric is thin and needs stiffening)
- 1 piece of plastic, 10 x 7 cm, for the bottom (e.g., cut from an elastic pouch)
- 1 snap fastener
- 1 piece of bias tape, 13 cm (5 in)
- Matching thread
- An iron
- A hand sewing needle and a sewing machine
1. Cut your two pieces of fabric (and possibly some non-woven fabric) according to the pattern.
2. If you're using non-woven fabric, iron it onto your outer fabric.
3. Then place your two pieces of fabric edge to edge, right sides together. Pin.
4. Sew 5 mm from the edge on all sides EXCEPT on one of the 11 cm wide edges.
5. Using this unsewn edge, turn the whole thing right side out.
6. Sew your snap fastener now; this will hide the threads between the two fabrics.
7. Place the plastic bottom in place.
8. Fold your bias binding in half lengthwise and press it to crease. Place it astride the open edge and sew it. Trim the excess on each side, leaving 1 cm. Then cut the end of the inside of the bias binding diagonally. Fold the centimeter of bias binding inward, folding it diagonally, and then sew.
It should look like this:
9. Finally, give your purse its final shape by sewing the four corners together.
10. Using your iron, mark the folds to achieve your final look.
