I’ve been making some funny little purses; as silly birthday gifts for my crafty friends. I got the idea for these from a miniature leather jacket coin-purse that we have from goodness-knows-where, I think it was given to Cassie sometime yonks ago. I used the shortest zips I could find and orange top-stitching thread to replicate the design aesthetic of the purses’ parent garment; a beat-up hole-y old pair of Wranglers jeans from the children’s younger days.
These are quite sturdy; and could be used as a coin-purse, as a repository for receipts, as a keyring, for, er, feminine hygiene bizzoes, whatever.
I think they are kind of cute, and I’m hoping my friends will like them!





















So cute!!! What a hoot!
Aww I love this, what sweet gift idea!
Adorable!
So cute! No one would suspect feminine hygiene thingys in there!
I LOVE no word verification.
Oh how cute!!!
that is the cutest thing ever!
Oh my gosh, did you set in those little tiny sleeves?
That's so cute! You could do that with all sorts of garments I bet, who wouldn't want a ball gown coin purse?
Quirky gift idea!
SO cute!
Such a great gift!
Awesome!
Clever.
Lucky friends !
teeny sewing…it's harder than it looks. That is so cute.
So cute!
These are hilarious and fantastic! You definitely have some serious patience to work on something this tiny!
You weren't kidding that it is miniature. Hiding one's tampons in it is ingenious.
Adorable!
Beyond cute! Lucky friends.
Adorable!
Soo cute! I imagine sewing tiny things in denim is trickier even than big things.
I hope you don't mind, but I emailed the picture of your tiny coin purse to my sewing group (with attribution, of course). I thought it was so darling that it should be appreciated by women who sew.
