Description

I have made this coin purse from offcuts of cotton fabrics which make this ecofriendly by avoiding these fabric pieces being thrown away.  The outer fabric is batik cotton which means that there are interesting variations in shade both in the yellow and orange background colour and in the light green branch and leaf design.  I backed this fabric with fusible interfacing to provide more stability to it.  The lining fabric is brown cotton.

I have enhanced the flap of the purse with appliqued leaves made from brown fabric, and have added machine embroidery in variegated thread to depict the veins on the leaves.  I have trimmed the purse in a brown matching bias binding, and the flap closes with a magnetic snap.

This forms part of a series of coin purses that I’ve made featuring appliqued leaves and using different colours of the same fabric design for the outside.

This would make a delightful gift and could be used for business cards instead of coins if that was the recipient’s preference.

Please note that I am currently only dispatching within the UK where second class postage is included in the price.
