Quick Make: Coin Purse

Watch our video tutorial and download your bonus PDF instructions to make Debbie Shore's fun and speedy coin purse project!

About the project

This stunning coin purse is so versatile – not only does it make a handbag essential, but we use one to store our sewing knick-knacks too! It's a great way to keep your sewing room organized and it also makes for a thoughtful gift too.

I've included the measurements of my cut fabric below, but you can adapt the pattern to suit you! (see video).

Note: use a ¼in (5mm) seam allowance throughout, unless otherwise stated in the video.

What skill level is this sewing pattern?

This is a beginner-friendly “quick make,” and shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes to stitch!

Debbie's Top Tips

  1. Add a D-ring to attach the purse to your keys or a clip – or swap the D ring for a loop of ribbon
  2. If you use a 1in (2.5cm) D ring then use a 4in piece of fabric and increase in that way depending on your D ring size
  3. What do I make next?

    There are now plenty of other “quick makes” to choose from. Why not make our Pull-Out Key Holder project? We've also got Stashbusting Cherries to try, or give our Fabric Tulips a go! These all make excellent gifts too (and can be made at the last minute)!
