DYI 352: Sew Easy Coin Purses

I discovered the joy of sewing vinyl when I whipped out a few little bags to organize things in my purse. I have one for everything: receipts, gift cards, business cards, lip glosses. I even made one to hold little things I find while out and about.

How to make your own organizational pouch (“King Regent” pattern, shown above in upper right corner of pic):

  1. Cut a rectangle of vinyl (5″x6″)
  2. Choose  various colors of thread to embelish the outside, and sew lines or little pieces on
  3. Fold three ways (along the 6 inch side) and pin down one of the folds (when you sew this will be the pouch part, the other part is the flap)
  4. Sew up the sides to close in the pounch
  5. For the flap edge, trim a curve and sew a decorative rim~or simply cut with pinking sheers
  6. Sew a button on the pouch side, then dtermine where the hole should be on the flap
  7. Cut a button hole with scissors or a blade
  8. Repeat with all colors of vinyl and your purse will be cool and organized!

Until Tomorrow~Sarah
