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.
I’ve made the purse with the very well known and loved Strawberry Thief Liberty Tana Lawn print in a choice of three colours: a subtle grey, a soft teal and a rich blue. This print was designed for Liberty by William Morris in 1883 as part of a group of designs incorporating animals with flowers. Liberty London first produced it as a furnishing fabric in 1979 and it has since been redrawn for Tana Lawn on a smaller scale and has been one of their ‘Classic’ tana prints.
The outer of the purse is lined with woven cotton to add some strength, as well as some soft fleece to give a puffy effect that feels nice in your hand. The inside of the purse is lined with a toning Essex Linen, which is also lined with woven cotton – hard wearing enough to stand up to those coins jiggling about.
The engraved metal frame of the purse is a bronze colour and I’ve hand stitched it into place using a toning perle cotton. If you’d like to add a wristlet strap, the listing for that is here: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/272705402/wristlet-strap-for-coin-purse-can-be?ref=shop_home_active_11
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.
You can add a wristlet strap to this purse if you wish to – please see this separate listing for full details: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/272705402/wristlet-strap-for-coin-purse-can-be?ref=shop_home_active_4

This purse is absolutely exquisite. The fabric is divine and it’s beautifully made with perfectly symmetrical pattern placement. I can’t wait until we’re allowed out again so I can casually present this beauty when I make a purchase. Thank you very much!
