    Default Small Purses -

    Here are some coin purses I made for some friends
    They are 4" - 5" in size. I used velcro for the closure.

    Nice -

    When do you attach the velcro? Do you put the velcro across the entire opening?

    What do the backs look like?

    I put the velcro on each half on the inside liner about 1"- 1 1/2" below the edge before I sew each half together. I do the birthing method with each half. Then sew the two halves together face to face. Sometimes I sew them so I can turn them inside out and hide the seams and sometimes I just sew the halves together.

    The backs are usually the same fabric as the borders. When I can't do that then a fabric that goes with the piecing. I don't quilt them. Too much work LOL

    Ya know S I don't know off hand if I did tute for this or not. I'll have to look.

    Thanks! I am a miniaturist. I work with 1 1/2" and 1 1/4" squares. I use my own method I call my Piece n cut method. You can check out my website it's listed in my signature.

    These were made for friends at a retreat I attended recently
