It is no secret that I love making small projects that can be easily constructed in an evening or afternoon. I have been working on some larger projects recently, so it was a treat to disappear into the sewing room for an hour today and make a small purse. This adorable patchwork purse with a metal snap closure measures a sweet 2 3/4 x 3 inches (7 x 7.5 cm) and is the perfect size to store some tiny treasures, coins, jewellery etc.
I combined some lavender and lemon florals, with some gingham in this sweet coin purse.
I used the Simple Patchwork Pouch kit from Zakka Workshop, which included the purse clasp, paper string, and a tutorial style pattern with lots of photos to explain the process. I provided the fusible batting, fabric, and glue. The project was much simpler and easier than I was expecting and it came together really quickly with a minimum of fuss. I am sure I will be making more – they would make great little gifts to have on hand.
Zakka Workshop have a range of coin Purse Patterns available. I love the Zakka, Japanese style, feel to their designs.
Other designs include the Spare Change Purse and the Heart Clasp Purse. You can also purchase additional hardware if you would like to make more.

Me!
Me, me, me! I am a firm believer that all patterns should be first tested by the sewist and the test product should be used before making more as gifts! 🙂
