When Madama Samm said a few months ago
that she was looking for volunteers to sew
this lovely pattern I knew I wanted to make it.
I enjoy making framed purses and this pattern is just too cute.
I made four as gifts for Sewing Summit friends.
This one now lives with Katy in England.
This one lives in England, too,
with Laura Jane.
Isn't this airport code fabric cute?
I ordered it from Spoonflower.
This one has already done some traveling
and might have visited a few of the cities
mentioned on the fabric.
It belongs to Katy, who has just returned to Scotland
after a 3 week camping holiday
across the southwestern United States.
And finally, the last one was made for Danny.
She likes guitars and music and this was just the right fabric for her.
This photo shows just how small these little purses are.
Just big enough to carry your change
but small enough to not weigh down your purse.
I made one change to the pattern.
I used a glue in frame instead of the sewn in variety
that Madame Samm recommends in her pattern.

Here's a list of who is playing along today.

Those are so cute!
Di, your coin purses are FABULOUS! I know your friends must love them - each one is so thoughtfully made. Love your fabric choices!
Thanks so much for being a part of the hop.
UR Priceless!
*ps. The coin purse design is Madame Samm's... not mine. :o)
Very sweet purses!
Lovely little purses and how nice they were all gifts.
Your purses are fabulous! Priceless indeed! (Shhhh, I used glue in frames too!)
Your purses are wonderful - I like the fabrics that you've used, your friends must be thrilled with their gifts.
Adorable little purses!
I love how you choice fabric perfect for each of the folks you gifted! That makes the purses really special.
Yours turned out lovely. Thanks for showing us here today.
These are great, well done. Was it tricky gluing all that into the frame? I've made glue-in ones before but with less surface area to fit in, when I made the sew in ones I thought I might get messy trying to glue them!
These are so adorable.
Those are all so cute; especially the one with the smiling cat!
Awesome little coin purses!
Such cute fabric choices! And what a wonderful friend you are to share.
Cute little purses!! Great Job!!

Just darling! And just as sweet with the glue in frames. You sure excelled at matching fabrics with recipients!
You've made your friends very happy with these sweet purses.
How loveley- these are great
Are the glue in frames easier to use than the sew in ones? (my first time aking purses and I found the sew in frames a bear to use)
What fabulous fabric choices! You did a great job. How was the gluing? I wondered if I would end up with a big gluey mess if I tried a glued in frame?
I love the fabric choices. Great job!

Those are beautiful fabrics, soo unique. I LOVE them. What a great time you and your international friends must have together.... sigh, from places I'll only see in photos!! :)

Diane, beautiful coin purses, love your fabric choices...what perfect little gifts. Thanks for sharing in the blog hop!!
All your purses are adorable. I love it that you chose such special fabric for each and every gifted bag. The glue in frames worked really well; I've heard that the process can be rather messy. Do you have any tips for the glue-in variety?
That is so sweet that all your purses are already gifted to sewing/blogging friends! I am sure that they are loved and cherished :)
These are really fun purses. I just love your fabric choices! Thanks for sharing yoru creations today!
Really adorable. Thank you for sharing with us.
They're too cute Di! Thanks for sharing with us all.
You did a great job! I love the travel themed ones, they'd be perfect as a second purse for a different currency
Your coin purses are all wonderful! I like the special fabric choices you made for each friend.
Great job! I've seen the glue-in-frame tutorials, and wondered if this pattern would work!
lovely work thanks for sharing!
Lovely, They are just too cute! I might have to try thr glue in frame myself too.
Funny fabrics, lovely purses, thanks for sharing ☺
Awesome coin purses that you have created! And how fun that they have already gone on travels or will be heading out on future adventures!!
Blessings & Aloha!
I am visiting our daughter, son in law and grand baby, but am squeezing in some blog visits to see these amazing coin purses and meet new bloggers!
These are all cute -- but I *adore* the little cat purse!!! How fun! :)
These are such cute purses!
