Today is November 5th......which brings the start of the UR Priceless coin purse blog hop and IHAN® is also doing a giveaway. I had not planned on breaking my hand and being on painkillers when I wrote this post....but that is my reality today. I'm going to show the some coin purses I made and some that friends helped me make as well.
These were made using the pattern we were provided for this hop. The one in front is a re-purposed Brighton jewelry bag.
I really like the fabric used in this bag so I saved it thinking I would use them to make some of MJ's Bag Tags. Instead I decided to make a coin purse.
When the coin purse is opened there is a little message for the person I'm giving this one to;
Make sure you visit the other blogs who are participating in the blog hop:

When the coin purse is opened there is a little message for the person I'm giving this one to;
a little note inside :)
I found a tutorial that taught me how to make coin purses in any shape I wanted HERE. I then made the coin purses below:
"Coin purses are not just for girls" according to my co-workers...LOL. I made one that would attach to their backpacks.
Creepy ay?
Bugs on the inside too....yuck!
Naturally I made a hexagon shaped coin purse....I love this fabric too.
Flowers inside too.
This was made from upholstery fabric.
I didn't get as far as putting a frame on this one yet and I really like the fabric for this one too.
The next coin purses were a collaboration with Textile Artists, Ruth Chandler , Jean Overmeyer and myself. Ruth sketched the pattern and Jean made them come to life.
Phillip Jacobs Chrysanthemum fabric....oh you know I love this fabric.
Didn't Jean do a wonderful job of making these coin purses? Yes...she fussy cut my fabric and it is a good thing I love her...LOL.
Giveaway....oh yeah!
Hoffman Batiks are beautiful and these will make more than a few coin purse. Also included are these two coin purse frames. Just be a follower of the IHAN® blog and leave a comment on this post for your chance to win. A winner will be drawn at random on November 13th, the last day of the blog hop.
If you would like to make some coin purses too....IHAN® has a nice inventory ready to ship :)

ReplyDeleteYou and your helpers did a great job. Of course I am a follower. I don't know which of the purses are my favorite. It is a toss-up between the blue plaid and white or the "creepy" one. BTW, I ordered frames from you and really was amazed at the fast turnaround. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteI love your coin purses!! Such a great idea to make one for your co-worker. These look very cute, and would make great little gifts.
ReplyDeleteKelly, all your coin purses are fabulous! They're such a delightful modern creation. They take me back to the days of my grandmother's "pocket book" and my mother always had a coin purse as well. And my, what lovely batiks those are! (I did not read a single slur...maybe your pain medication isn't strong enough. LOL)
ReplyDeleteLove them all ! :)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
I think everything has been said to compliment these purses, but I find them all beautiful
ReplyDeleteKelly-I appreciate you providing the link for the tutorial as it looks easy, but it's always helpful to have a step-by-step approach as I am a "visual" learner. So much fun and it looks like it's a great way to use scraps, which we all have an in abundance. It appears to be mildly addicting! Thanks for sharing, and I'd love to win your generous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYours are so so cute. I love them. It looks like they are addicting. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThe purses are great like all on the hop, put I truly love the idea of a message inside. The fabric choices were also great, but I really appreciated you providing the tutorial link it will help other people who would love to make this bag. I am a follower.
