Coin Purse FREE Sewing Pattern and Tutorial
While you certainly don't need to make this coin purse pattern from leather –you can use vinyl or almost any fabric– it makes a good first project for those who have never sewn with leather before.
I had originally designed this pattern as an ornament on our Christmas tree if you can believe it, but I found that my teenage daughter was carrying it everywhere because it made such a good addition to a handbag. I also found the concept made for wonderful small gifts as well.

- leather, 1 to 2 ounces average, can use vinyl or fabric 13″ x 8 1/2″
- one rectangle of quilting fabric 17″ x 8 1/2″ for the lining and strap
