Coin Purse Tutorial

December 3, 2011

By dixiemango

So, I realize how lazy I am on this blog recently, but I know some of you are still out there and

so although I havent posted very often, Im going to try to at least post lots of goodies when I

do. Okay??

So, today I have a tutorial for these fun little coin pursesso exciting!

So much fun! Okay, so there are two shapes you can make from this pattern

So, one is sort of a little more poofy and the other one is more flat with a flared out bottom.

You choose! There is just one more step to the poofy one than the other one. Nothing crazy!

So, lets get started, shall we?

Lets first talk about the purse frame. This pattern is for THIS frame. Im going to show you a

little bit about how to change the pattern if you cant find this frame, but I got the frame at

Joanns, so you should be able to find it fairly easily, I would think.

Next print out the pattern.

I like to trace mine onto freezer paper so I can then press it onto the fabric and have it stick

while I cut it out. Just make sure to trace the side marks onto your freezer paper pattern.

Now, here is the trick if you have a different frame. First trace around the outside of the frame.

Now, add about a 1/4 seam allowance around that and then I just free handed the shape from

that. The further out you go on the sides the more poofy it will be. Does that make sense?

You also have to mark your hinge marks like in the picture below. Mark where they are and

then mark about 3/8 down from that for seam allowance.

Alright. Now that you have your pattern, press it onto the wrong side of your fabric shinny side

down.

If you arent using freezer paper, just cut out 2 pieces from your main fabric, 2 pieces from your

lining fabric and 2 pieces from fusible fleece. Now, a word on interfacing. On the plaid one

above, I used fusible fleece and on the other one I used medium weight fusible interfacing. I

think I prefer the fusible fleece because it adds a little bulk to the purse which helps when

attaching the frame, but either one works! Fuse your interfacing onto the OUTSIDE fabric.


4/11



Make sure to transfer your markings onto the wrong side of your fabric. Using a 1/4 seam

allowance and right sides facing, sew from each of your two marks backstitching at each end.

Add notches to the curved edges

Now, if you want the flatter and flared out purse, skip this step. Pinch the corners of the purse,

lining up the bottom seam with the side seam and mark and sew a 1 1/2 line. Do this to all four

sides (2 on the outside purse, 2 on the lining)


5/11



Turn the outside of the purse right side out and you should now have this.

Place the outside of the purse inside the lining of the purse with right sides of the fabric facing

Using a 1/4 seam allowance, sew all around the top leaving a 2 opening on one side of the

top


6/11



Notch around the curves

Turn right side out and press well. Press the opening closed and top stitch it closed. This

doesnt have to look perfect because the frame with hide any imperfections. Yay!

You now have this


7/11



Now on to the glue. I used E6000 and it worked great! You can probably use something else.

I found this at Walmart, so it should be easy to find. I did try super glue craft formula first with

an epic fail. It seems to me that the gel type glue works better. So, get your glue and lay down

some plastic (I used a ziplock bag) just for a place to work.

Working one side at a time, add a line of glue to the inside of the frame

Then, using your fingers and then something sharp (like a pair of scissors), manipulate the purse

into the frame


8/11



Make sure it looks good on both sides and that you push it as far into the frame as it will go

Do the same to the other side and voila!


9/11



You really need to let it sit for a few hours or over night before it will have a firm hold. On the

first one I made, I took some flat head pliers and crimped it closed. If you do that, make sure

you use a piece of felt or other type of thick cloth between the pliers and the frame so you dont

leave marks on the frame. I didnt find it necessary on this purse since I let it sit a few hours

before testing its hold.

Look what you just did! Way to go!! Another fun purse!

If you are in my family and see these in your stocking act surprised, okay?

So, what fun things are you sewing up this year?? I need some ideas.

Ta, my bloggers!
