Patchwork Coin Purse | Small Cosmetic Pouch | Gift for Her
Patchwork Coin Purse | Small Cosmetic Pouch | Gift for Her
These cute zipper pouches are great scrap busters for me. I love the ability to use all the pretty scraps from my quilt making. You can use these patchwork fabric bags as a coin purse, small cosmetic pouch for your purse, or any other gadgets you'd like to keep organized.
Uniquely individual, no two will ever be the same! I expect to make up more color choices as I can. Feel free to message me if you are looking for a special colorway.
Size and shape will always vary a little, depending on how I sew together the scraps. An approximate size would be around 12 x 11 cm (4 x 5 inches)
Fully lined, with no exposed seams, they are sturdy and easy care.
An excellent gift idea.
I will ship these via regular lettermail. The minimal shipping fee covers the stamp and envelope. If you would like faster shipping, send me a message and I will create a custom listing for you.
Of note, only pouch E & F are made with a gusset. A gusset allows the bag to 'stand up'. See first photo. All other pouches lay flat.

I always use quality fabrics and thread. In addition, I am conscientious about making sure I use a full seam allowance. I never leave fabrics holding together by a few threads. This ensures a quality, handmade item, that will withstand normal care and use for many years.
The inner batting layer is usually Pellon or Hobbs 80/20. Occasionally I use a bamboo batting.
Binding is always double thickness and attached by machine for added durability, with neat mitered corners.
The nice thing about quilts is that the more you use them the softer and more snuggly they become. Don’t be afraid to use them wherever you want to be. After all, we wear cotton fabrics everyday in our clothes… your quilt won’t fall apart before it gets well loved!
Care
Care
I have often washed my own quilts in with a regular wash load, with no regrets. However, it is still recommended to use a gentle cycle, mild soap and tumble drying on low heat. (** Note: I rarely prewash my fabrics. Expect a small amount of shrinkage on the first laundering.) It is the tumble drying that achieves the soft crinkly look that we associate with handmade quilts. If you prefer a flatter look, lay flat to air dry… do not dry in the dryer.
Remember that sunlight will fade any fabric, and your quilt is no exception. So; have a care when you leave it outside frequently or in a sunny window.
