Long since I wanted a coin purse to keep the change. So I decided to stitch one myself. I wanted it to be colourful and attractive. The idea struck to make it in the shape of any colourful fruit. I chose strawberry and it came out so well. Its handy pretty and Purposeful.I liked it very much.Lets see how I made it. It requires minimum stitching skills.

Coin purse

Supplies you will need:

My Method :

  1. Cut two pieces of Square red cloth of size approximately 8cm x 8cm and two pieces of lining cloth with same sizesteps
  2. Align both and fold in the centre
  3. Mark a triangular outline on it as shown in the picture and cut it along with the lining material. Open the triangles
  4. Join the Lining material along with the pieces and put a stitch on all sides
  5. Cut the Green cloth around two inch width and length same as the longest side of the Red piece
  6. Fold the green cloth along the length and attach on the sides of the red cloth on the lining side as shown in the picture
  7. Now two sides of the purse ready the green part is used to insert the draw string.
  8. Insert the string on the green loop and stitch above the string to keep it in placeDSC00834
