Sweet Little Coin Purse

I've officially finished one sweet little coin purse in my new sewing venture.  It's perfect.  Well..... actually, it's practically perfect.  I got alittle over zealous with the glue and got some of it on the fabric.  So, I'm debating about whether or not to list it in my etsy shop.  If I do, it will be as an oops and at a discounted price.

Here is it:

It's actually a tiny bit of glue that you can barely see.  But I know it's there ;)

My Finished Flower

Finally, I have a minute to sit down and show you what I did with my finished flower.

But first, a little background story.

I'm not a purse person.  I'm a shoe person.  I could spend all day buying shoes and would love to have a million pair.  But purses - nah.  I'm a once a year purse shopper and that's just because I have to replace them when they start to get all crummy looking.  So a few weeks ago, I happened into Kohl's to look at the purses - which were all on sale :)  My last years purse was pretty crummy looking and had been for a couple of months.
I bought a new purse and a really cool wallet (on clearance) but the problem was the new wallet didn't have a pouch for change.  No problem, I thought.  I'll just have a look on etsy and buy a cute little change purse.

As I was looking, I thought to myself, "boy, what a great way to use up scrap fabric and you could embelish them in all kinds of cool ways."  Then I thought, "Duh".  And that's when I ordered purse frames. 

Here is my first change purse:

I have all kinds of embellishment ideas and once I get my pattern perfected, I plan to start offering them in my shop.

Now you know what I did with that sweet flower :)
