Description
The lovely Andrea Coin Purse is the perfect project for beginner level sewers to try. It is super-easy: even my 8 year old daughter made this coin purse! It also takes less than an hour to make. Because the metal frame is sewn onto the purse, it is great to use right away. The shape of the side pieces in this purse’s pattern makes the purse widen near the top, making it extra spacious. Keep some spare change in this Andrea Coin Purse- it’ll be convenient to grab-and-go for spontaneous trips! This is a good project to make use of excess cotton/home decor fabrics, or upcycle.
