How Do You Sew A Zippered Coin Purse?
Coin and money purses can be made into a variety of sizes. Here’s how: • Decide upon the fabric. Use a sturdy fabric. Cottons work well. • Decide upon the size and shape. This will depend upon the amount, length and width of the items you’ll be placing within the bag. The shape of a square or rectangle works well. • Decide upon which side you’ll be placing a zipper. A zipper can be placed either at the short side or long side of a rectangle, depending upon your preference. • Gather your fabric, zipper and sewing supplies. • Fold your fabric in half and iron it flat. • Cut the fabric into a square or rectangle, allowing for a half-inch seam allowance on all sides. • Attach the zipper to both pieces of fabric. Fold over a half-inch of fabric on one side of the square or rectangle and iron it flat. Place the edge of the zipper beneath the fold. Stitch the zipper in place with a tight, sturdy stitch. • Attach two pockets, to the wrong side of the fabric, on either side of the inner bag. Us
