Today is the first day of the UR Priceless Blog Hop over at Sew We Quilt. I just couldn't resist this adorable coin purse pattern. You had to be in the swap to get the pattern, so I really had no choice. Right? Right! (*Note: the pattern is now available for $7.50 at Madame Samm's Craftsy pattern shop.)
I found that layer cake squares were the perfect size for these. I had most of a Vintage Modern by Bonnie & Camille layer cake left, so the only hard part was choosing which fabrics were the cutest together. I picked two squares for the outsides, and two squares for the lining, which made two purses.
I bought the handles from I Have a Notion, and they arrived quickly with a sweet note inside. Thanks!
I don't really use a coin purse, but this is the perfect size to carry my thimble, my binding clips, my tiny scissors, a spool of thread, and a packet of needles. Voila! Hand sewing kit ready to go.
There are a whole bunch of us kicking off the hop today. Be sure to visit these blogs and see all of the cute ideas plus giveaways.

I love it! You used some of my favourite fabrics, Jenny. I agree, it makes a perfect sewing kit. The only thing missing is a bite of chocolate (for energy while you're stitching ;o). Beautifully done.
