Zippered Coin Purse

Fully Lined

This clever design creates a fully lined, zippered coin purse. Quick and easy to make; however zipper installation skill is necessary. Use a fat quarter for the outer shell. Fusible fleece gives the coin purse just the right amount of stiffness.

Visit our store for discount cotton fabric and fusible fleece.

2.  Cut fusible fleece slightly smaller (cut about 1/8" off all the way around). Following the instructions on the fusible fleece, fuse it to the wrong side of the lining.

3.  With RIGHT sides together, stitch the lining to the outer shell; stitch all the way around, leaving area between "x" marks open (see photo on right).

7.  Use a zipper foot to stitch the zipper into place. Stitch about 1/8" away from the edge of the coin purse opening. You might have to switch your zipper foot to the opposite side to finish stitching the zipper into place - in order to stay close to the teeth all the way around.

NOTE: I did not stitch right next to the teeth. I left about 1/8" of the zipper tape showing on each side of the teeth.
