Things You'll Need:
- 2 material squares, 4 by 4 inches
- 2 lining squares, 4 by 4 inches
- Straight pins
- Pencil
- Straight edge ruler
- Scissors
- Matching or contrasting thread
- Velcro, buttons or snaps
- Sewing machine
-
Step 1
Measure and mark four blocks of material 4-inches long by 4-inches wide. Draw cutting lines on each piece and cut the squares with scissors.
-
Step 2
Pin the right side of the coin purse material and the right side of the lining material together. Stitch three sides of the block together, using a ½-inch seam allowance.
-
Step 3
Turn the square right-side out and push the corners out. Make the coin purse's top edge by tucking ½ inch of the outer material and lining inside the block.
-
Step 4
Hold the seam together on the outside of the purse with straight pins and make a top stitch ¼ of an inch from the edge of the turned material. Use a matching or contrasting thread color.
-
Step 5
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to make the second coin purse square. Place the two squares together with lining facing lining and join the two top stitched edges together.
-
Step 6
Secure the other three sides together with straight pins and top stitch them on the outside of the material ¼ of an inch from the edge. Don't stitch the top of the coin purse shut.
-
Step 7
Fasten the top of the coin purse shut with Velcro, snaps or buttons. Place the closure materials on the lining inside the top edge of the purse, ½ an inch from the top edge.
