Little pouch for notions, coins, or anything else small that you have to carry with you in a small space – perfect to slip into a pocket

Description

When my smaller coin purse is still a bit too large, this one should be perfect! The original design for this little folding pouch is by Rashida Coleman-Hale, but I’ve given it a few tweaks of my own too. I made one of these little pouches for myself first and always use it when I’m on the road with my knitting or crochet – it is just the right size for a little pair of scissors and all the other little essentials you might need on the go. As well as using it as a little purse (cards fit in there easily) or a notions pouch, it would also be great for carrying business cards, mini essentials like lip balms or tampons or even as a thread catcher – anything you like really!

The pouches are made with woven cotton ginghams in dark blue and red, which I’ve cut on the bias. One has red on the outside and is lined with blue and the other hasblue on the outside and is lined with red. Gingham always reminds me of summer and picnics – and the Great British Bake Off!

The outer and lining of the pouch have both been interfaced with woven cotton and the outer also has a layer of fleece added for a little padding. The pouch is mainly machine stitched and top stitched, but the ‘tray’ is made by hand stitching the edges together. The finishing touch is the addition of a couple of metal press studs to keep everything secure inside.

If you like the style of the pouch but would like it made with different fabrics, just drop me a line and I’ll custom make one for you, if I have the fabric available at the time. Please keep in mind that the best type of print for this purse is a small scale, non-directional one.
