Coin purse made with ‘Lei Nani’ lawn print by Nani Iro in black, white and silver with a silver lining & hand stitched silver metal frame

Description

This little coin purse is the perfect size to pop into your pocket with a little cash, a key and maybe a lip balm, when you want to travel light. It’s also a great way to wrap up a money gift for a birthday or holiday gift, or to give as a bridesmaid gift.

The feature fabric I selected to make this purse is a beautiful monochrome cotton lawn fabric in a print called Lei Nani. It’s from Nani Iro’s exclusive Beau Yin Yang collection for Kokka fabrics. It has a ghostly black base decorated with cream flowers and pops of metallic silver overlaid – such a striking, modern look. I’ve added woven cotton interfacing to the lawn to add weight and a soft layer of fleece padding to give the purse’s contents some protection. Inside, the lining is made with a silver metallic Essex Linen in ebony, which adds a lovely pop of sparkle when you open the purse.

The engraved metal frame of the purse is a silver colour and I’ve hand stitched it into place using a toning perle cotton in a silver shade.

The purse measures 8cm (3.25 inches) across at the top of the frame and 10cm (4 inches) across at the bottom, where I’ve boxed off the corners to give a little depth to the bottom of the purse of 3.5cm (1.5 inches). It stands a little over 9cm (3.5 inches) tall, which is just right to carry a credit card or two, if you wish to. I also offer a larger purse using this fabric, which you can find here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/569538987/large-coin-purse-made-with-a-elegant?ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1
